All right, I'm holding you to that though...
Lots of things in the build have me either curious or unhappy. It looks like you're intending to run braided lines for the length of the car for the brakes, this is a bad idea, every car I've ever dealt with where they did this ended up with **** pedal feel and mushier brakes than they should have, twice I was involved in making the swap to hard lines with just braided lines at the necessary spots and with no other changes it made a very noticable improvement to the pedal feel.
As I previously mentioned, I reckon running dual hard lines the length of the car, then combining them and then splitting them again made no sense and just created additional work, expense and complexity.
I too don't like the hard lines in the boot or the layout generally, I think for the quality and care you've taken elsewhere in the build it really would have been worthwhile to better layout the fuel system, then modify that surge tank for a simpler and neater layout, there is elegance in simplicity. The unsupported hard lines poking up from the fuel tank take-off plate looks poorly designed and drags down the work you've done elsewhere.
I'm also not that excited by the prospect of piles of stainless steel braided hose in the engine bay, looks like a lot of work, money and effort for no performance gain, I mean heck, the low-pressure feed line to the power-steering pump? Don't underestimate the ability of stainless steel braided hoses to act as a chainsaw and rapidly cut their way into or through anything they rub against, the larger sizes are also not meant to be self-supporting over long lengths so to do the job well you really need to spend a lot of time making brackets and widgets to route and support them.
Other than that, nice build!
