Good choice with keeping the brown!

Bending 8mm fuel pipes from scratch is another job on my list of things I never want to have to do again! Took way longer than I thought.

Also both subframes are back on, the master cylinders are fitted and new brake lines are done.

Looks tidy, but hope you never need to drop the subframe!

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

It took me a second glance to realise what you were referring to as I was looking at the front. Good spot!

I know, I know, but realistically how often do you remove your rear subframe?

 

Anyway, have a progress picture.

Got the big Radtec Extreme fitted today. Trimming the cowl went well and the radiator looks right at home in the Clubman engine bay.

Also finessed the fresh air scoop with the aid of a heat air gun to make sure it cleared the intercooler.
