Since I will be waiting for parts to arrive for the dash I decided to clean all the air ducts. Off into a bucket of warm soapy water they go. Amazing how much dirt is coming off these, couldn't imagine not taking these apart to clean them properly from the inside.

Wow a couple of weeks and I am really lagging on my updates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

The parts I ordered from 914 Rubber showed up in just a few days so I go on the dash to get it finished.

Ian, thanks for the great video on how to upholster to dash. It made this job quick and easy and it came out looking great. The dash also came from 914 rubber and it looks fantastic. Here are some pictures of the dash installation.

This pictures shows the rubber seal between the dash and the windshield.

Now to deal with the wiring harness and all the accessories.

Time to pause and clean the air controls. Cleaned up the electrical terminals, surface rust on the metal parts, painted the face, lubed the cable guides, new grommet and new knobs.

Well, it's starting to look like a car inside now, and I can't wait to finish putting it together. Still quite a ways to go yet though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Here I installed the knee pad, switches, air controls, air registers and started sorting out the wiring.

I'm pretty happy with how things are lining up with little tweaking right now. Will work on it some more to get a better fit on some parts.

Couldn't wait, had to test my newly installed light switches.

Thanks Dion! Talking about the front end, I need to get up and finish sanding and painting the bumpers and other parts. I have just been lazy doing it and was focusing on putting the car back together.

Instruments are in and starting hooking up the harness to the back of them. Starting to come alive slowly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also worked on getting the air ducts in and starting to adjust the cables from the levers in the dash.

Next was the installation of the air ducts, but first I had to re-work the clamps.

The air hoses I ordered where from URO Parts in 60mm Part# 644 572 971 00, Part SKU URO-010423 in 1500mm length. The other one was 50mm Part# 911 211 274 00, Part SKU URO-010451 in 720mm length.
I was surprised how close these are to the originals.

Here's another one of those, I should have done this before. But in my rush to get the car painted I decided to wait to do it later. Here I had to make new brackets for the rear bumper so that it would line up correctly. I am also fixing some of the edges so that all the gaps are even and that they are straight. I knew I should have done this before, it's not fun working on a freshly painted car without scratching it.

Got my gas gauge working, the fuel sending unit was stuck so I left it soaking in some gas overnight and it loosened up.

Getting these put back together without smearing grease all over the place was difficult, lots of paper towels were required. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
