Yep same car same damn story whats new right. WEll anyways down to bussiness.

My plans for the car are pretty simple, I just want a clean good looking first gen. So I am doing everything to the best I know how. From the paint to the electronics(look for me in the obituaries if I **** those up) to the way I want the plumbing to look like.
The mods I am planning for the car are a 12a, streetported, running either a Weber or holley, an aluminum rad, old school skyline oilcooler setup(yes the one that puts it out in front of the front bumper) and that'll just about it. But (theres always A but) I am at a stand still on what size kind and what material I should run all the plumbing in. I am keeping my AC, so I have to consider those lines also.

I have been looking into the braided stainless cause to me it looks good, but then I thought to much of it would look kinda goddy, know what I mean, Then I thought about the black lines(I think feather lite or something like that) and black just aint cutting it for me. So yeah any suggestions here would be great.

I would also like to know what Size lines I would need to run for the fuel system, Like what is to big and what is to small and stuff like that. the pump I have is a Holley Blue electric and (i think) it says to use -6an but just making sure on this maybe I read it wrong.

So yeah Any Ideas you have on how to run things would be greatly apprectiated. Money is not really an option right now, I got a few grand to throw down for paint and upgrades, and a few more for like the interior, new glass and parts of that nature. So yeah if you have like so outragous idea just hrow it out there and lemme know about it. Im trying to do this right the first time, unlike some of the other projects I have done in the past.

BTW the rewireing of my car and a complete Thread on it will start later this month.

still looking for some more pics. I talked to Russel today about the An fittings and they said that the more I buy the less they cost...or thats how I took it. lol. I think I am going to go with the red and blue AN fittings, Stainless Steel braided line in -6 for the fuel lines(does this sound about right....for radiator hoses I think I am gonna go with hard pipes, and Silicone fittings (if they will work, the rad will be a Koyo (I hope), and as far as the OMP lines I havnt decided on what to do with them yet. I am in the process right now of finding the best place to drill holes in my manifold to run the OMP lines to any suggestion as to what to do here would be appreciated. but right now I am wiating on my intake gasket from RB.....I didnt see the orings on there site where can I get those. I checked Mazdatrix also.

Im gonna try to get some updated pics up as soon as possible. I have the brackets modified for the T2 seats, but I am going to clean them once again so there really clean. As far as the carpet. It turned out brand new, and the panels I have for the door may be able to be used if I can ever find the time to finish reading(waiting on pics to load) on $100T2s write up about that. So far its coming along nicely.........except for my rollback breaking down everytime I go to move it from my work space to my uncles shop.......stupid chevy 427bb I hate that motor.
