Thanks Jeff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Am I crazy for using blue tape to keep from scratching the AN fittings? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I have gone thru a few rolls on this project.

Other than purchasing the specialty wrenches for AN fittings I think you did good. I just scratched the AN fittings but then I am a barbarian.

fuel pump and hoses will get run this weekend and set the tank in for the last time. I will have a recirc. loop so with the PMO pressure regulator I can have the remaining PSI feed the return. I also got my ignition ECU programmed today.

Got the wiper motor in. Anyone know where the red wire off the motor harness goes to? my wiring diagram was no help, this is a -6 wiper motor.

Ready..... The nipples for the washer bottle were busted off. Found a T fitting and chopped it for the fix. I think it worked out pretty good.

I also got the engine harness done, pedal cluster in, basket weave on the dash face and more.

I think listening to the game in the garage working on the car was less painful than watching (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Andy it's interesting that you painted your headlight surrounds. Did you try to clean or refinish original white surrounds first?

Andy - I applaud your vision!

I also spent a lot of time with the before images trying to get a better feeling for the spaces under the fenders for oiling and also the shape of the frame overall. Thanks!

I painted the bezels since the originals had at least 3 coats of paint and primer on them and when I striped them I could tell they would wouldn't clean up enough for my liking.

As for time spent on the car, there's my time and kent's time but I'm sure were above the 3K mark!!!

Got some goodies in the mail and home for lunch. my rough plan for fuel, filter location and washer pump is in. Back to the day job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

WOW! just went through another looooooooooong thread, hoping the car would be done at the end and it wasnt. This says a few things about this group. #1 you do things right the first time. #2 you have the patience of a buddhist monk #3 a proper resto on a 914 is ~3-5 years!!!

Andy, Im in Fullerton and would love to come and BS with you someday. I'll try to keep the drool off the car

Hey, could you back up a bit and show where you are putting the fuel pump?
I can't make out the location.....

Mr. Bowlsby may be of assistance but the red wire has a jacket consistent with tying into another harness. If it's what I'm thinking, I thought there were more.

Intermittent relay harness?
