I have to give them the opportunity to rectify their shit before i can make demands.
The other pics are still on the camera. The rest of the job is just as bad.

Judging by the Pictures Col,
we would be lucky if they read the Torana Book on how to Install Brake Lines.
If I were to do the Job,
I would take Photo's of the Before, and use them for the After.
that way, we couldn't tell the difference.

Will they run the lines as per original routing?
The engine bay is smooth. All the holes are filled ........ so NO!

Are you also trying to hide the brake lines to tie in with the smoother bay?

I will hide them as much as i can.

Looks like you have a couple of days at the brake shop coming up.
Stand over their shoulder and tell them what you want, even though they should know.

The car is blocked in the shed. It ain't coming out without moving a pool table. lol

im having trouble getting my head around the shocking job of brake line shapeing, even a 17 year old apprentice would do a better job,gotta make you wonder how well they recoed the callipers too,

Would perhaps have a chat with the licensing mob first, if you havent already done so.
Get them to check it out, they can suspend his license.
But I suppose in all fairness give them a chance to rectify the work.
Perhaps you could weld some tabs onto the crossmember to secure it better, where you want it to run.
That work isnt even worthy of a first year apprentice.

Had a thought,
where something we run over could get caught onto the brake line and rip it out, if it were not fixed to the frame some how.
No Brakes.

Still waiting for the brake guys to come fix up the crap, so i took the opportunity & made a start on the window trim & door top vinyl
I've had those door lock ferrules for over 20 yrs. lol.
I was hoping to do a 'how to' on removing/replacing the glass but the fore mentioned camera issues remain. Adding insult to injury, i gave my son the camera to put the pics on a stick & he lost the bloody camera!
