Driver floor. I snuck a piece into the forward part of the tunnel.

Now for the fire wall. I want a multi-layer system on the inside since I do not want to use a pad on the engine side.

Full coverage (except for seat belt mounting areas). I plan to cover this with carpet, just not sure yet what type.

I also gathered the brake line fittings for cleaning. The master cylinder front line adapter is steel, and still needs some rust removal. Soaking that tonight in Evaporust.

Going through more parts delivered while I was out of town. Here are the yellow zinc parts, done by Restoration Part Plating of Kenosha. Kenosha WI? Yes Finishing and plating? That would now be 4 of our members that had stuff plated there. |

Our project is still in the selective demo phase. Good thing we have RD or we would be lost Agreed. I am grateful to all our dedicated 914 suppliers. And I show that gratitude by sending them lots of money! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

A slight detour. Before I install the wiring harness, I need to install the washer pump switch from Carmagic. No more spare tire pressure and fluid flowing through the steering column.
Anyway, I will install this with a round relay and socket. Attached thumbnail(s) |

A detour on the detour: getting the wiring harness out reminded me that I still need to clean the fuse-relay panel, and the connecting wires.

Partial disassembly and cleaning. Not sure I dare unplug all the connectors!

Partial disassembly and cleaning. Not sure I dare unplug all the connectors! As long as you have a schematic handy, I would. It's a good time to make sure all the connections are clean and tight and some DAPO didn't get creative with where they routed circuits. I labeled mine with little zip tie tags before pulling them off but in the end I didn't really use the labels and just followed the schematic because sure enough, a few wires had been switched around over the years. |

Thanks, Brent. When I refurbished the harness I checked and repaired everything, from shorted and melted wires to corrosion to DAPO stupidity. I can't remember why I did not clean the fuse-relay panel then, probably got distracted by something more fun. |

A personal milestone today: I installed the first hard parts! Yay, me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
I started with the brake line in the tunnel. This has a short segment that goes through the firewall. Attached thumbnail(s) |

And the long section that goes to the front. Here it is on top of the tunnel. The Sharpies show the locations of the tabs to hold the line to the top of the tunnel. I transferred the locations to the brake line to locate some rubber tubing for protection.

The two lines come together at this union--first time using a wrench on the rebuild!
