Nice build.
Looks like fuel lines need no replacing.

Hi there

Great build mate. Looking very nice. Going to be a quick one!!!

Quick question, what is it that you have used for your boot panel pieces and where did you get it from?

Thanks
Wolfie

Coming together

Are they cortina copy front uprights?

Pretty sure I've seen people say on here they have failed IVA for the front flexi brake hoses being fixed through the fibreglass body panel like yours are,they need to be on a bracket attached to chassis.
