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

Dude that's looking AWESOME!!

Thanks Shannon. Congrats on winning that best Japanese car at the SnowBall Run.

Are you doing next years Cannon ball?

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

very nice job on the lines, even better than factory

wow, that is some pretty nice work mate!
This car is gonna be amazing when done

Dude!
Thats a stunning amount of detail work on those lines!
Well done dude there has been some time gone into that setup! Niiice!

man thats looks sharp i like it greg got me thinkin i will have to make better offf mine

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

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.
