Thought I'd throw up six shots (in three posts) of where, and how, I installed the fuel access panel form a late model (75/76) into the firewall between the front trunk and the fuel tank recess, in my 1970 914.

seriously, looks great. I really like the roofing sheet metal screws for this type of thing, the screw has a nice gasket washer built in, and you can get it in dicolors, such as green, to match your car. I like the Low Profile, Lap Tek from Mueller roofing metal: http://www.muellerinc.com/index.php |

Lotsa good ideas...keep 'em coming for the next newbie who does this. Pretty much every aspect of what I did could be done differently, and mostly better. I have a list of projects a mile long and just can't wait until I gain the knowledge and advice on every aspect of every move I make. Hell...some advice I get is conflicting, of course, and I just have to jump in and get things done. I am never offended my critique, and others will profit from it...as I did!

Nice. I love that you've had your other one almost 30 years. Always wished I'd kept one of my cars that long. Have you kept the '81 in good shape throughout?
