Surely it would have been easier to just replace the panel properly? The brake pipe is more than dangerous though *surprised*

Although everything else is total crap and it's obviously a ringer for its age from the rubber front subframe mounts, the rubber tube may just be a protective sleeve over the brake pipe as it's been run it totally the wrong place.

I do similar with my brake and fuel pipes where they might rub against something except I use 2 or 3 layers of heat shrink.






I'm just trying to be positive for once :)

thats some nice work lol, that filler is just stupid.

i still think its a mk1 though. it has external hinges, mk1 doors with sliding windows and a few other mk1 bits. I think its had a later car as a donor which is why it has a 2 bolt subby, and late style brakes? and that looks like an early gear linkage, magic wand maybe.
