Well at 5:30 we started fitting the brake and fuel lines.
The job wasnt as hard as i expected so after lots of small jobs it ended up with a set of wheels on and sore light for the first time in a long time :D

Steve it goes without saying, very good work!!

So now there is going to be a light blue rx3 and a dark blue rx4.

Everything should come together quickly now it\'s on it\'s wheel.

Won\'t be long before mine is on some wheels, and hoping to get my engine from carl in next couple of weeks.

What size line have you used for fuel lines? Steel or copper?

steve garbutt

Would be good to see 2 very nice old school RX\'s in the same area mate ;)

Fuel lines are copper but i dont know the size off the top of my head, ill have a look tomorrow if you want.
