Front brake lines

Yesterday I fitted the front brake lines. They all seemed to go in quite easily but think the passenger side is too long, will have to check before I go any further as the brakes are one thing I don't want to mess up!

Fuel system

Today I tackled the fuel system. As I had no instructions I made a diagram and checked with GBS that it was correct before I started anything. Turns out I was correct so made a start X 

That's the diagram I'm going by. 

I now have the swirl pot in, low pressure pump, highly pressure pump and filter.

Some big jobs done

So today I got into the garage for a few hours and finally fixed the first few panels into the car. They were drilled, cleaned up and then a bead of polyurethane sealant added before they were riveted in place. 

Doesn't look a lot but took its time as usual as I want it all right. It's starting to take shape now and look sort of like a car.

At the end I put the dash on just to see what it looked like. 😀


A few too many rivets I think. Have used much less on other panels.


Brake line covers

Just a quick job to finish off today, I put a bit of plastic tubing over the brake lines on any exposed areas to protect them from chaffing.
