bottom end is ready but i over slept so missed picking it up, never mind, always next week lol.

got a chance to get out over the weekend as the weather was dry and ran all new copper brake lines from the master cylinder at the front and up to the rear of the car, dropped the tank so i can put the escort cosworth pump in and had to call it a day as was getting dark, will get pictures up later. Slowly getting there though
