How to waste a Sunday

or:

Why old cars is sh*t!

Plan a: get up early, fit new brake pads, fit braided brake lines, bleed brakes, crack open a Guiness, fall asleep in front the GP.

Plan b: get up early, jack car up then remember I've lent out my A/F allen keys so pads ain't coming out. Decide to change lines anyway, n/s all goes on fine, then round off bleed nipple......mad 1 can of WD30, application of water pump pliers, cold chisel and mole grips later, now in position to bleed... If I had any brake fluid banghead

Anyway now have ONE braided brake line fitted and slightly spongier brakes than before. Missed the GP but made it in for Scrapheap Challenge
