Life got in the way. Back to incremental progress!
Rear brake and clutch lines all run. Peddle cluster mounted. Have to get another clutch soft line made. Incorrect fitting on one side. Now on to the front brake lines and a couple of block off plates to tidy things up. Brake/clutch Fluid resivior mounted and lines run.
Built the last segment of my fuel line. That goes in tomorrow after coffee.
New seat brackets are exactly what the doctor ordered!
I will post some pictures once I tidy up.

Peddle cluster in and mounted. Brake fluid in the rear brake and clutch lines and resiviors. Time to ramp up the pressure, check for leaks and see what else needs done.

Hahaha! Nope! But the wife wants to know when it will be ready to drive. She gives me grief about how long this has taken. I think she wants to drive it more than I do! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's the nice thing about a conversion. Anyone can drive your car. No more pre-drive conversations of "do this, don't do that". After I got mine sorted, I handed the keys to my BiL and told him to depress the clutch when starting and to drive it. He's 70 and loved it. If he drove my stock 914 he'd have needed a 1 hour forum before hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

More center console.just a couple of things to sort it for wiring.

1 more fitting and the fuel lines are done!
Then on to finishing up the tank ( had to go back to stock location and tank). Then pressurize and test.



Nice! Where did you find those center console switches?

There be clutch and rear brake pressure! I don’t know how many years since the car last had brakes as I got it as a shell.

Next x fuel level sending unit and evaporate tank.

I'm looking forward to the finale! I finally got my 914 dialed in quite well. Hopefully I can keep her running longer and drive her more this year!

Thank you Rich for the fuel level sender! I so owe you!
One step forward two steps back! Finally back to where I was a month ago.
3 more boxes of stuff sorted through and either put in play or repacked for a future day.
Nothing more I own will go on the car. From here on out is it fabrication time. And all motor/cooling related.
Post build list is being thought about.
1. Have Eric refresh all brakes ( just to be 100% on them.)
2. rear cross drilled disks
3. cross drilled vented front disks

It is really odd seeing the car on the roller jacks and not be missing any pieces...

Rear brakes ordered.
Battery location changed. Battery tray mints, new cables run, cables connected.
Transmission oil done.
Removed oil heater and installed filter.
Removed collant lines that ran to the oil filter.
Engine oil done.
A few minor odds and ends that I am waiting for from the welder. Then fuel and coolant.
Swapping my side intakes and mirrors.

Almost time to pressure test all fluid systems.
