I then installed the steering gear. It's now done from the steering wheel to the tie rods. I'm using an alloy crossmember.

From above:

The other thing that I did is install fuel lines. I'm using steel all the way through the cabin. I'll post other pictures later, from within the engine compartment. I'll also be using twin fuel pumps.

In any event, the front looks like this, at this point. Once the sway bar is done, I believe the gas tank will be ready to go in.

Moving on.

The trim around the roll-bar has to be installed before the oil tank, on a /6' because there's one trim nut that sits above the tank. So I got started on said trim.

Driver's side so far:

And passenger side. There's still some fine-tuning to do.

I must say, I'm pretty happy with the weekend's progress.

Okay, a lot of progress since the last update.
I lost my camera, and had to buy a new one, hence the silent period.

In any event, the car now sits on its wheels. Most of the suspension and brakes are done. I have to change the ball joint on the passenger side from an early one to a late one, because of the struts I am using. I also need to do a little more work on the rear brake discs.

This is what the rear set-up looks like today.

That's a 914/6 caliper, with a 911 spacer, and a ventilated rear disk, which results in the 914/6 GT setup.

I also did a lot of work on the cabin. Here is what it looks like now. The instruments are not connected yet. I have not decided if I will use the triple gauge or the regular 911 gauge, with a gas gauge in the ashtray spot. I would love that latter.

I decided to go with a fairly complete interior, but I am using a set of lightweight carpets that Jon Lowe included with the sale.

The doors obviously need to be done, some carpeting is missing, the seats need work, the glass needs to be installed.

The whole dash, steering column and hand controls, pedal assembly (except the gas pedal itself) are pretty much done.

A lot of work goes into the dash and steering column !
