I managed to get the Sun Visors installed and the Speakers today, with new speaker inserts. Then I thought, lets see if the roof fits. Its great to see her with her roof on again...

Boy this is fun to watch. You have no idea how many years I've fantasized about getting to this point with my car. Still living vicariously here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A bit OT, but this is the first time my wife has ever sat in the car ! ...might be the last, so I snapped a pic as the pooch looks on.

So things have been a bit slow as the nice weather has kept me out of the garage...but a few pics on the refurbished fuel tank (the return line is sealed with a small flat washer) and a cleaned up gearbox..

Looking good! If it were me, I'd try rotating that switch boot around so I could tuck the wire sheathing inside the boot to better protect that ground wire and make a better seal to keep gunk out of the boot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Getting ready to install the sway bar...below are plated parts ready to go along with items from 914Rubber and 914LTD - thanks guys!

Also, does anyone remember a recent thread that had a very detailed sway bar install documented? I know there is the video. Thanks Attached Image

Just looking at your thread again and admiring the nice work.

Just one thought. On your very first photo you show a fuel filter and fuel pump mounted on the lower fire wall in the engine bay. That location is very close to the factory location for the fuel pump. The location is also prone to heat soak and possibly vapor lock which was fairly common. Since your pump, pumps better than it sucks you might want to consider moving it up front closer to the fuel tank like a lot of folks have done.

Just a thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
