Aside from presenting an epic rebuild, I compliment you for the excellent photography that has brought this work up close and well documented. As a retired photographer, I'm curious about the camera equipment used to make these images? You were often working in some very confined spaces! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Believe it or not, these are just on my phone. Although I did bring some lighting in because it was hard to see some of the stuff and I'm trying to take pictures of our parts and installation information to eventually make it on our website (914Rubber.con) Attached thumbnail(s) |

On the drivers side I mocked up and alternative hose that we sell too, to try and figure out what one I like better. What do you think? I ike the Aeroduct. It's a better product but it isn't original in appearance like the first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) They are both nice, but I will be going with the Areoduct hose after I get the wiring harness back in. |

Another long day today. We (Cary) got the the fuel pump inspection door cut out and got the panel blasted, polished and painted. I ran the wires the the harness already so now I just need to work in the ground back to the main grounding post buy the fuse box.

Super-in-law was busy cutting up another car, but posed for a photo. I told him we needed one for a t-shirt that we can put him in a cape. "Super-in-law... Jack of all trades"

Got the wires in to new boots for one side. What a pain in the assembly! I now understand why we started making pre-wired boots. Way easier to cut out the old dad wires and Boots and just add fresh new ones.. but after working so hard to preserve this harness I'll probably do it the hard way on the other side too.

Got the parts out to put the fog lights back on the car and realized I hadn't taken care of the front of them around the lenses
