nice work. after seeing that i'm going to do the same. it's easy to get all rust now rather than finding some later on.

Wow I am super jealous of that chasis! Great work!

Thanks guys. It has certainly been a long time in the process, usually due to lack of funds $$ and some times women ....

Hey all, was chatting to Shane (BRE510) the other night and he told me I needed to post an update on the build. I can't say that too much has happened over the past couple of months but here are a few pics to illustrate;

Picked up my fuel tank from the painters:


Then re-assembled it ready to go back into the car:





Also finished bending up my 3/8 fuel lines for feed and return including fuel filter. Took so many hours to make sure that I got them right!
Still needing to be trimmed back.








Oh and a couple of shots of the brackets all welded on before it went to the panel beaters:




Then added the brake line down the middle of the fuel lines;




And modified my fuel rail to look a bit tidier and have screw in fittings not hose clamps;

Before:




After:




Have been waiting for stainless tube nuts for the brake lines for the last 2 months, but now that I have them we will be pushing on...........as finance allows

[gingofthesouth]

Man I love this rebuild. Such quality work not being rushed either

[nick_m]

that is amazing. How the hell did you get your fuel line so straight. Mu fuel line (aluminium) came inin a coil and even "straightened" its pretty average. Also agree. Bending up fuel line is a whore of a job. I ran out of expletives bending mine up.
