Refitted the power steering lines, made some modifications, looks a lot neater. Big job with the engine in took a full day to do.

I really do not recommend anyone taking there power steering out as a daily, no matter how much you read about it, it's utterly crap and dangerous. Takes complete pleasure of the car away.

2 rear balljoints also.

Thanks lads really appreciate it.

Started on the rear, a good weeks work ahead of me but I'll doubt I'll get the time so I'd say 3 weeks and it will all be done underneath.
