Is that braided brakelines running from the master cylinders? More pics please!
What boot and door rubbers did you use?
Cheers,

Thanks Ben, they are braided. They ended up that way only because I didn't do them in hard line when I could and by the time I got round to it, it was to hard to get in there. I actually prefer the look of the hard lines which I've got everywhere else except in the engine bay.
The rubbers I used are 14mm x 8mm solid section. I installed a hollow rubber first but I didn't like the way it sat so it took me 2 minutes to remove the rubber and 2 hours to remove the glue, what a job. The section I used is fantastic, it's easy to install and sits and looks great. Water wasn't an issue for me but I think it seals really well. My biggest problem with the 1st rubber I tried, was that when the boot lid came down, the top section would try and roll the rubber out of it's position. I'm still playing around with the door seals.
The seats arrived last week and I couldn't believe they fit into my seat holes. Thanks again for those, I'm going to install them this weekend.
Tonus, my kit is a Classic Revival from Sydney.
Phil, yes the floors are tiled but they look small in the pictures. The tiles are actually
500 x 500.
Legless, at least that would make one of us!
Mike, I didn't think you'd recognize it with it's new flat black paint job. It looks pretty good.
Thanks Boxhead, if I don't get through I might be shifting to your neck of the woods or up to Mildura with Gavin!
Regards.

Mando,
I like the look of those lines - where did you get the billet clamps?
Also, any particular reason that you put the rubbers on the body rather than the panels?
Cheers,
Ben

Congratulations Mando. I just love the product. Good luck with the Emission Tests.
Question: Have you had the blades on your twin thermo fans polished or are they just as they came from the supplier?
