      Yeah, here in Sweden this is pretty common for an old car like this. It really makes everything more challenging. A single rusty fastener can sometimes take an hour of labor, it's really bad! 😬

    Ett tips när du ska knacka dit fettkåporna på navet, hitta en stump rör som passar över fettkåpan så den ligger emot yttre kanten på kåpan, det blir jättelätt att montera och det blir snyggt och fritt från bulor.

    There is something relaxing in making up brake lines - Edd China (from Wheeler Dealers) was making brake lines a little while ago for the old Range Rover that he’s fixing now; you might find his videos interesting/entertaining, they’re definitely relaxing though (sorry if you watched it already, but that was the first thing that came to my mind when I’ve seen you doing brake lines). 😊

    I own now for 9 years a oakgreen GTD Special. I notice that my brake pedal travel is way to loose. I have new brake calipers and master cilinder for 3 years now.
    And i also switched the little brake things in the brake drums in the back.
    But i also notice, when i bleed the brakes, there is not so much fluid coming out on the drums. Weird. Also hooked a compressor bleeder. Doesn't help much.
    In the front it bleeds perfectly. Then i have good brake pressure, but not for long.
