The fuel level sender can still fit but just barely, here's a few pics of it.

Made the return dump tube out of some left over stainless tube.

Bought my self some new FTP lenses and bumper lenses. They look amazing when they are new btw.

Found this cost effective solution to the "rebuilding front calipers dilemma" Autozone $44 each with a $55 core each. They look awesome. I figured they would come painted black like most remanufactured stuff, but they are bare aluminium like they shoudl be. Pretty stoked about this.

Beautiful

They have all brand new hardware and springs and all that junk for that price.

Packaged up my cores and took them to my local store even though I bought the calipers online. Returned them and got my $110 credited back no issues at all.

Here's the rear section of the feed line, mostly done at this point. I may trim the length a bit at the bulkhead as it's a bit too tight and fiddly still.

Looks like it's touching that washer but it's not. In fact its not touching anything really except the brackets.

Still needs the rest of the clamps under teh belly of the cra. For now I just put enough on so I could get the hard part out of the way, which of course is the intricate bends at the rear of the car.

It's really hard to get a good picture of this area because the car is so close to the ground.

Here's the return line now.

This little piece of the feed line from the second pump to the bulkhead was a bit challenging. Took a couple tries to get it right. Here's some pics of it from different angles. It's completely suspended. at first I was going to use soft line but then I realized there was no point since the line goes from something mounted on the chassis to something mounted on the chassis.
