Bodywork, fuel lines, brake lines

Tonight I decided that all the brake lines, brake hoses, fuel lines, and fuel hoses should be replaced. If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right. It turns out the front brake hoses are salvageable. The rears are shot. I removed all the brake hard lines, and all the remaining fuel lines.

I ground, prepped, and coated in POR-15 the front passenger floor. It needs a bunch of metal patches and some fibreglass work (on the smaller holes). I also did most of the passenger side of the firewall. There are holes to fill there as well as I'm not putting the HVAC stuff back in. I'll probably regret not having a heater core (long warm ups?).

I removed the remaining transmission shifter cable so I can treat that area. Sorry no photos, my camera is in a different town.
