Got to use my new vaccum brake bleeder, this thing is awesome value and made the job of bleeding the brake system really easy!

Bled all the brakes and gave the callipers a little clean up.

 

Next job was to sort out the temporary fixings fir the bonnet. Ive not had time to make the custom clips yet so I've gone for a wire set up just for safety for tomorrow.

The wire goes through the engine bay and is bolted to the steel under tray, the wires rated to 155kg so the bonnet would brake before these gave out! Lol.

I've also developed an oil leak which I have tracked down to my ftont timing cover!
