Slow down

Part of making the most of the time with marmite (that is a runner for the minis name, like it or hate it) being in M's work shop I have been installing the brake lines. It has been parked in front of a 2 poster ramp, so I had to ask if it could extend it's stay.
The radius arms have brake pipes, flexi's to sub frame, pipes to union and tonight I replaced the rear to front line. A job I have been dreading as quite a long time ago now I had to put the rear subframe in to get the wheels on and out of my neighbors garage .... with out the brake pipe installed that goes between the subrame and the car with a gap of about 1cm. With a nut on the end of the pipe I knew it should be a bit if a work up to get the pipe in place, I have read many times that you need to do the pipe first. So when I had removed the old one, painted the exposed floorpan and installed the pipe in an hour, that was even with no swearing, I was pretty chuffed.
This was a start today and try to finish tomorrow task, so I have the handbrake cable out ready to take in tomorrow. Not overly confident I have the correct fixings for one part but this is good progress.
