            Update!

            How to fix a brake line:

            Remove tire:


            Remove directional:


            Remove bumper cover?:


            Remove hood?:


            Remove inner fender?:


            Remove fender?:


            Remove header panel?:


            Remove front suspension?!: I think I've gone too far.


            Since we are buying a house, we made the decision to overhaul the Tank before the move so that we don't have to worry about it down the road, and that I don't have to search for tools after the move.
            I have that new-ish fender that needs to go on, and well as newer, non-broken header panel. The fender removal really helped with fixing the brake line. I ran new brake line to the rear distrobution block, front distro block, and left front tire.
            And since the fender was off, and I had all the parts for the front end rebuild, I did it as well.
            Black Energy Suspension poly bushings, Moog springs (cut 3/4 coil because), KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, Moog lower and upper ball joints, and freshly powder coated bits and pieces.

            Before:


            Hey! Pretty!!


            After:




            I know I need new tires. It's going to happen shortly, so don't worry.

            And, I found this sweet hole in my PCM harness. It was chaffing on the inner fender where the connections are.


            This caused the PCM issue I've had for a few years, and I couldn't find it because it was burried in the inner fender. It also chaffed through the reverse lights wire.

            And after I got it started and put it on ramps to torque the lower control arms, I noticed fluid coming from the left rear.
            Gas.
            When I removed the old brake line, I apparently broke the return fuel line.
            So I replaced that last night with a big line of 3/8" fuel injection hose from the rail to the tank. No more F'n around.
            It also ran out of gas, because after I started it to move it, I let it run for 10 minutes.
            Video to post later.

                Beautiful!!! Now paint that frame mang! :p

                This is what happened when I rebuilt the CV front suspension. I got everything together and then I snapped the brake line on the passenger side. That caused a 1 week delay and many curses.

                  I know my PCM harness is fine on my 93... but it seems I have a little more slack with my inner fenders too.

                          Please tell me that's not brake fluid.

                            That's not brake fluid... that's gas.
