started on the front ones this evening, for some reason i was being a fucking thick twat, and three times in a row i flared the pipe without putting the connector on first, the 3rd time i done it i was that angry with myself i punched myself in the face.
Anyway ran out of light as i couldnt start until 7, although i managed to get one side on
old stuff on the car
Old stuff off the car
not as bad as the rears but getting a bit on the rusty side.
New stuff on

Do you flick the light switch 56 times before leaving a room?

wasnt hard just fiddly, and just a not very nice job poking round the fuel tank and underneath heat shields lay on your back on a tarmac driveway for hours

He does these things for internet recognition.
I've bought a new car fitted new plates and side repeaters and tonight picked up a new exhaust and yet not one picture.
Steve does the same job 3 times just to make sure nobody on the Internet missed it the first time.

What material are those new brake pipes made of, they look like copper? If they are you need to put more support on those bad boys vibration will make them go brittle very quickly and you will die a horrible brakeless death!
I dont think there was anything wrong with the original ones, all old cars get advisories on the brake lines, just needed a brush off and some zinc paint.
