Ok John, I guess I need one even though I feel my progress is painfully slow.
I think I've finally come to realize I over analyze everything striving for doing things absolutely perfect despite my limited skills compared to the pros.
Too much planning and not enough doing lately, maybe it's a new builder thing ?

As I stand now, all aluminum fitted and powder coated, Ni Cop brake lines run, master cylinders and pedals installed.
More brake lines involved and different routing with the brake booster I decided to include in my build, honestly think I should've left this one off the option sheet but it's in now.
Fuel tank is in after I got my straps on my last pol shipment. I'm using the braided ptfe hose and fittings provided by Blueprint with my engine.
I've taken a page from Edwardb's book and installed my pressure regulator in the rear with a short return line next to my Aeromotive filter setup.
I liked the idea of only one fuel line through the tunnel because with the flat bottom of the MK5 you have to keep things tucked up in the tunnel area and out of the way of the driveshaft.

A few pictures, my brake lines are definitely not as pretty as others but I was careful to make proper flares and avoid anything rubbing or binding or kinking.
I am for right now using the kit master cylinders, we'll see how that pans out.
My reasoning is if I do have a problem I can change them out during my go kart phase and change them out before paint, maybe a bad plan, we shall see. I need to figure out where to mount my brake and clutch reservoirs where they won't interfere next and bleed the brakes.
Still trying to figure out where to mount my charcoal canister where it will be somewhat accessible in the future if needed yet out of the way.

I did decide on my aftermarket steering wheel and quick release and have them now. I'm waiting on I.E.427's next batch of turn signal switches to pair up with them.
