mackei23b - 2/1/07 at 09:17 PM

Hi there

Well I've managed to make some progress and I've made up the front brake pipes and almost finnished making up the wiring loom.

The car also made its very first trip outside the garage, all be it being pushed by me, but it still felt good.
Cheers

Ian

P.S. Happy New Year!

very neet and tidy, puts me to shame

yep got to agree love the neatness but you now have to continue this neat theme with the wiring and theres quite a few boxes on the zx9 to hide under the scuttle so it looks neatgreat work keep it up

Yes, as I understand it from this forum, cars have past the SVA with plastic P Clips.

Why on earth not?

Passed fine on mine!

Oh, and my Golf seemed to get away with it too!

Cheers,

echoing the comments above, your brake lines are exceptionally tidy. Mine are functional, but best hidden from view! I'm assuming you used a proper bending tool to form the pipes?

Look forward to seeing you progress with it - should be a quality build

Yes, a pipe bender was used for the majority of the bends, still to do the rear line!
