Wasn't looking forward to making up the stainless steel brake lines but was suprised how workable it was. Hey ho, only 3 more to go not bad for a weeks work :lol:

Plumbed in the Setrab oil cooler this evening. Kinda wishing id made the most of the existing pipework as the goodridge ones are massive and going be a pain to route down to the sandwich plate not too mention the neon £300 they cost including the stupidly priced fittings :shock:

Bit of a progress update from the weekend. Brake lines now all made up and fitted...

Image

Image

Petrol tank, pump, filter and braided fuel pipes now all in place...

Image

And the Sard FPR

Image

And finally the loom is back in the car. some of the wires were in a right mess and its not until you start stripping back the sheathing that you notice how bad they are. I would say definetely a must for anyone planning any work on their calibra.

Image

Now where did I leave my engine 8)

those fuel hoses are looking nice .... well as nice as fuel hoses can look if you know what i mean.

Still a few little jobs I need to sort out including modding the front bumper and fitting rear brakes thanks to Jon taking them off and throwing in the bin :lol:

Im moving back home next week so should have a bit more time on my hands to finish things off and im sure an extra pair of hands will be good when I lift the engine in.

Fitting the pas cooler was the main job today.....

getting a bit busy with the rad in place but all fits well
