All Lines a Go!, a set on Flickr.
Yesterday we completed the brake line replacement and also took care of one of the fuel lines (the return). The process went a lot smoother this time around, and we're getting pretty good at bending tubing to match the original lines in the car. We also got a new battery to replace the old dead one.
We bled the brakes, fixed a small leak, put the fuel tank back on, all the plastic fixtures—or I should say most of the plastic fixtures, since the plastic bits in this car are 15 years old and very brittle and we lost some in the process—and finally, refueled and fired up the engine. It was great seeing everything working again without a hitch, and the car is road-worthy, if not street legal; that should change on Wed, when we'll be renewing the registration.
So next week the little 'tegra will be ready for some road testing and perhaps some autocrossing. Road trip!
