Sorted fela got a bit more done today started to run the fuel lines down the car
AN fittings through the the firewall into the car
Then the braided lines down the inside to the bulkhead,
Down the inside of the tunnel fastened down with twin pipe fitting
Got to decide where the fuel pumps and filters are going in the boot as its a bit tight for space once there's a spare wheel in there

Looks great, it is hard to keep a Cossie bay neat as there is a lot going on under there.

The exhaust is not sitting right near the axle so we are going to weld in a S-bend to get it at the right height for the back box to sit

Reconditioned the rear calipers new seals and Pistons
And decided to redo the brake lines that are running inside the car for braided ones instead of the copper ones we made up
