Im never going away for a weekend again whilst waiting for an update on here!!
Well done benn looking cool!
So as the song says "i've had an absolute cu*t of a day!"
Started by getting the m/c and servo fitted, then working out where i wanted to run the brake lines and where the 2/1 would go.
Started making up test lines from old coat hangers.. Even this was a total nightmare. But got most done now.

One left, and its the drivers side so its a biggen. And utter nightmare and i might end up killingh my self with rage.
I would not dare to work in that engine bay due to fear of scratching it! lol
Keep it up :)
Good work Benn - You legend
Am having to be carefull Ad, chiped a small bit in the arch when sropping the old shock out so am gonna have to touch them up.
Thank you Keith!
Hope your not planning on putting the let in through the top?? lol
Through the bottom all the way, i put my redtop in through the top today and no idea how you can do it with out scratching the bay!
Wouldnt fit an engine thru the bottom ever again. to much stuff to catch on.
Let will go in stright thru the top as all should. Bit of cardboard or carpet down the drives side and will be fine. Theres loads of room so it clears easy.
Ben you are one crazy ass mo fo. Top drawer tho, always one that has to go that little extra... OCD? lol
Not this arguement again lol
Have to say though id never fit one through the top again, so much easier underneath...
Just lift engine and box straight up, instead of mesing about tilting it down etc etc. lol
lol Cheers Craig, and a lil odc is good for you...
Allways happens Ad, everyone has there own ways, i just like the easy one...lol Lift, tilt, slot in.
I know that boy.. im a clean freak, love to have yours after just to stand there and say 'what polish shall i use on this bit' lolQuote:

once again benn amazin work and great ideas..
Keep your chin up dude! Despite the pain in the ass brakelines it'll all be worth it when its back together. :)
Dude, looking good. I share your frustrations, when I fitted my engine I was pooing myself about scratching the bay. I went in from the top, gearbox first.
I found that the pipe bending machine left marked on the pipes themselves, done them by hand in the end. Good results are achievable...

Keep up the good work.
Dec
I actually found it very satisfying making the lines by hand.
Only my 1st attempt was poor.
Cheers dude.Quote:

With a big hand from Dan, got the dash out to day, carpets out.
Started to tidy up and sort my wiring loom, worked out were to run the in car brake lines and bias adjuster. Gonna route the last line tomoz and get all the front ones fitted too.
Gonna try and get the battrey cabling run to the boot as well. And new rear speaker wires. Get the floor behind the dash sealed and painted too.
Sounds like good progress to me mate!
Not bad, will be trying to get as much done after work as poss.
And there was me thinking I had lots to do before pv!! lol crack on fella!:)
Just a bit...
Funk what have i started?( Does give me chance to clen and paint the floor even if its under the carpet)
