Yeah, Jeff, but as soon as I get it home the main harness that you repaired for me will go back in. Any thoughts on how to protect the harness as I feed in back thru the tunnel and out the rear firewall? I'm thinking about wrapping it in plastic and then using masking tape.

Sounds good....can't offer any advice though, I have never put one back in. SirAndy has, maybe he has input, I will bet its a tight fit so you wouldnt be able to wrap too much thickness and still get it installed. If it gets scuffed, clean it up with SimpleGreen or any liquid soap.

Big, big progress this week. The suspension, fuel lines, brake lines, brakes, etc. etc. are back in. The car is now a roller for the first time in a long, long time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) This is what I saw when I first walked into the shop around 5:00 p.m.

Peter Falabella, a club member from Ipswich, MA (who I have talked to but never met) came by Autobahn Performance today and left his steel wheels so the car could continue its paint job (and leave my Fuchs safely in my garage). Thanks Peter (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) By the way, Peter is doing an electric motor conversion on his 914 project.

As you can see from the last picture, you must leave one wheel off on the rear for clearance on the rotissiere. After some suspension tweeking, it was time to drop the car back on the ground. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

I am already planning the process for reinstalling the interior. I'm gonna spend a small fortune for all the rubber pieces. Partsman, Partsman, calling Partsman (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)

The car looked so small once it was off the rotissere and back on the ground. I kinda forgot what it was like to be on the ground and on wheels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Thanks for the interest in my continuing quest to have the "factory fresh and then some" restoration project, as Brad said, East Coast Style. Final picture, me and Richard enjoying a great moment. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)
