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.

The engine bay is smooth. All the holes are filled ........ so NO!

But the engine bay brake line is mainly held in place by tags around the back of the motor, or have they been removed? There is only one plastic clip from memory on the passenger side part of the line along the chassis rail.

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

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.

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.

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!
