In time, it'll be all right. Theres on thing I wouldn't know how to repair, that is the bracket attached to front the shock tower. I was thinking bubblegum perhaps?

I'll probably just bolt a new bracket to the shock tower.

Progress today:
- final coat of paint for servo and brackets
- drilled a hole in the frame to mount a new bracket for the brake line
- went out and bought nuts before going nuts
- installed front SS braided brake lines
- installed painted brake servo after paint has dried
- reinstalled clutch master (I had to loosen it to get the servo out). PS. Did I tell you those bolts in the footwell are a bitch to tighten?
- prepped the new master cylinder (new tank, etc.)
- bench-bled the new master cylinder
- installed the M/C in the car
- tightened some nuts and bolts
- torqued up the brake caliphers to the hubs (almost forgot!)
- loaded the brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid
- tightened up some more nuts and bolts
- sprayed rust protection on the area's that needed a touch-up after the work.
- And perhaps some other stuff I forgot about.
....
- found a bad connection in the back of the binnacle, causing my brake warning light to fail. Short story, it's fixed now.
Now I am completely tired, bad back, broken and I didn't even bleed the brakes. Alas, no American Sunday at Zandvoort tomorrow...

Oh and of course some pictures of work in progress. My battery was empty, will be taking final pictures tomorrow (and Flash is not flattering)
