So not as much progress this weekend as hoped. Still bumper reinstalled and not rubbing on the tailgate. Rub strips fitted. Still the leak around the pollen filters, pick up the leather and PS pipe to change.

Another busy weekend sealing the pollen filter housings and everything else in sight. Lots of crap cleaned out and new foam fitted to the scuttle at the same time.

So this morning I swapped out the leaking PS pipe. New rad clips and banjo dowty washers at the same time. Refilled with dexron 3 atf and checked for leaks after bleeding the system. Point to note. Mine had early spec pipes with only one flexi. Somehow I ended up with a 97 on pipe with 2 flexi ends. Still fits the earlier models so no issue on change over.

I’ve begun to sort the brakes out with the braided line. NS rear first and paint the caliper at the same time. I was going to do the over axle lines as well but when I started to undo the nut the line started to twist. I can’t find my flair tool so until I can I won’t be changing them just incase.
 
Final caliper finished ready to go back on the front. And the manifold heat shield I drew up has been fabricated and is now back with me for assembly. Just need some insulation for the inside.

So i didn’t go for the cream interior. Figured I’d wait until a tripple black one comes up. However something did pop up on the bay cheapy cheap. Now with late spec doorcards to replace mine which were pretty knackered. 2 down. 2 to go. Front braided lines also fitted and annoying pedal issue solved on start up. Interim service and MOT passed no bother.
