Hey guy's thanks for all the great comments, sorry about the slack progress as late. Thought I should post some pics of what I have been up to.

Have been working on and just about completed my brake lines. Just have to connect the rear control arms to the chassis run lines now. If you look closely you can see that I have also had the fuel lines chromed :thumbsup: .

And assembled and mounted the rear suspension and diff (hopefully for the second to last time! :roll: )

this is still hands down the best mounting and bending of brake lines and fuel lines i've ever seen. ever
You must have some sort of brake bender voodoo

Shot man, this is going to be one nice car indeed! Wish I could be going that hard out on mine!

I especially like that you used the hydraulic tubing and fittings with the 3/4" JIC tube nuts and sleeves, should seal up nice and tight, was thinking I would do it on my car one day, but now if I do everyone's just going to say I copied you :P btw can get good deals on that sort of thing if you haven't already found a hook up.

Cheers mate, I have my own hook up at this point, I haven't paid a cent for any fittings. :twisted: ;) :thumbsup:

Did you make the moustache bar yourself, or buy it from Aussie?

Na used my original one, cut the ends off, made up the new centre and welded it all together.

I made a large mistake when modifying my moustache bar as i used a mig welder-not realising that its spring steel. Result...diff dragging on ground after giving it the welly in 2nd gear making for a terrible situation. Ended up getting a whole new one made out of a single piece of spring steel. Awesome build man, will be beautiful when shes done!
