[QUOTE="suicidekings, post: 15320897, member: 121833"] So this project has been going pretty slow lately... The AZ heat isn't helping me get motivated to be honest. On top of that shopping around for a diesel and a new bike hasn't helped either lol. Anyhow this weekend I went to bolt up my bumpsteer kit and realized the holes in the spindles are too small. I will take them off and have a machine shop drill them out. I know I can use a drill or a press however I want to do it right and have a mill that can slow the bit way down and have it well lubricated. With the front end somewhat at a stand still I took the time to remove all of the factory fuel lines and all the factory brake lines. Why? well because why not? Everything else is brand new on the car so why not all new fuel and brake lines? Old fuel lines [url=https://flic.kr/p/X5bFLk][img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4303/36146973111_10b25688dd_b.jpg[/img]IMG_5540_zpsqwlw8lns[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr Old brake lines [url=https://flic.kr/p/X5bFPr][img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4305/36146973291_40505368ba_b.jpg[/img]IMG_5541_zpsuiuyisek[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr After I removed the lines I went inside the car to route some wiring and re-loom everything.
