hey mate, Are you leaving them brake lines in there whilst you paint it ?, doing the same as you at the moment and can't figure out whether to try and get them out or just mask them up. Also the main loom that goes to motor for injectors.etc. are you still gunna have it coming through that hole on the passenger side near the chassis rail or has it been relocated? fusebox inside i guess?

yer man masking up the brake line so much easier and should still get a good finish. the main loom im having coming out where the old heater hoses came out (coz i got rid of heater), the head light looms will be under the guards and yep the fuse box is under the dash.. well on the passenger floor atm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
