Awesome, looks great.

I'm intrigued by the two black pipes (15mm?) running forwards on the port chassis rail, marked red and blue so maybe hot and cold for the heater? My car is different, but I'm guessing yours is on a set of Webers looking at the inlet manifold, rather than K-jet?

It's a very simple answer the car is 2.9 injection and the blue and the red are flow and return fuel lines I'm a plumber so red is flow blue return just so I don't have to keep checking as I start putting it all back together the pipes are just longer than needed I will cut to size later

Ah! Yes makes sense now. Good idea, I'm borrowing that :-)

I've been using fb mainly but here's where I've got to so far because ph is where this all started for me

Looking good. When are you hoping to have it finished?

(Dont do fb so appreciate the post)

[shaunodude1]

Hopefully next spring that's what I'm aiming for but that's not including a repaint so it won't be the prettiest

Just love the care and attention in making those brake and clutch lines.
Also the very net wiring and hose runs

More attention to detail than the factory had.

A lovely job.

Wow. That’s looking very smart. You must have spent a good few hours straightening those pipes.

I had a loose coil so not to bad but I wish I had bought a pipe straightener like in car builders solutions and I definitely would buy the best brake flaring tool I could . I bought the little brake pipe bender and it was fine but there are better options I can honestly say I wish I'd spent a little more
