(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm just curious what you CW's think about replacing the plastic lines with steel on a restoration ?Granted they are not original, I am assuming NONE of you would actually run the 35+ year old lines and would at the very least replace them with new plastic lines. That then begs the question, If you are replacing the lines, from a CW standpoint are steel lines still grounds for a beating ? Think about the safety of the car too

Bit the bullet on the tires. Good for you. Your car is certianly a Parade level 914. Mine falls more into the catagory of a zone level entrant/contendor. I've seen lines in the engine bay and firewall become brittle due to heat and age. I plan on keeping mine plastic as well (with the pump in the original spot and deal with the occassional vapor lock).
