Also have the pulley, cable, and brake pedal attachment mounted. All the driver's side carpeting and some insulation had to come out and had to be cut for the pulley placement. I'm hoping that once it's all done it'll still look presentable.
The airlines and wiring have to be run and connected, and I need to find a good route for them through the firewall - not much to offer there. Then the breakaway switch. Hopefully, I'll get to that today or tomorrow, depending on what the wife has in store for me...

Hey cool! What British cars have you restored? I’ve done a few old Triumphs (2 cars and a motorcycle) an MG and (not British but fun just the same) an original Datsun 240Z and an old BMW motorcycle. Great fun.
I just ordered my Stay N Play toad brake system this week and will be doing the baseplate, brake and wiring when the weather improves. It’s a fair size project with all three.
