Now that the fuel system and wiring are done in the rear I got going on the tank in the front. I installed the flexible hose that connects between the stainless tunnel lines and the tank. 1/2" feed and 3/8" return all the way to the engine, should be able to handle any engine I drop into this car in the future.

I needed to modify the rubber tank mounts to clear the cage.

Here is the before and after.

Then I cut off all of the brackets and finished the metalwork on the tank, primer is next!

I am going to give the WRX fuel pump controller a shot, I didn't use it when I had the car running before, it delivers variable voltage to the pump based on engine need, and shuts the pump off after a couple seconds when the ignition is on and you haven't started the car.




I have one on my six. Apparently 2003 was the only year they were employed by the six. FP varies from 32psi @ idle to 45psi when I goose it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I primered and painted the tank.
Attached Image

Then I installed the filler neck and repainted cap, along with the level sender.
Attached Image

All with fresh gaskets.
Attached Image

Since I am running such large fuel line I upgraded the tank fittings.

It is a vw tank thread to AN adapter to hose barb compilation.

Now that I have shifted my focus to the front I decided to pull the front suspension.
Attached Image

I am running an '89 Carrera suspension, I plan on disassembling, rebuilding and repainting everything, then reinstalling.
Attached Image

First I pulled the struts off, going to rebuild the calipers and get new disks and pads.

I continued breaking down the suspension.
Attached Image

I got this batch painted, sticking with the silver and black like the rest of the car.
Attached Image

I added shrink wrap tubing to the metal tabs that hold the wiring harness under the tank, the wrapped the harness and installed it.
Attached Image

I also installed the master cylinder and the front brake lines.
Attached Image

Then I freshened up the steering rack and bolted it to the re-painted cross member.
Attached Image

Finally I installed the steering rack and cross member, the brake fluid reservoir, and the tank brackets. Just about ready to drop in the tank!

Fuel System is complete! I hooked up the feed and return lines:

And strapped the tank down. The stripped down stock tank looks pretty good!

Dangerously close to starting this thing!

We have set the all time record for rainfall this year, 45" since October first, painting has become a well choreographed dance timed to the weather channel, my yard is a muddy mess!
Despite mother nature's best efforts I got the struts painted.
Attached Image

I know this will get dirty instantly but this paint is so nice!
Attached Image

I am tackling the calipers next.

I got the front suspension installed, still need to sort out the brakes but the rest of the suspension is ready to go.
Attached Image

This probably looks the same to you as the last one I posted but I have reverse engineered a lot of the wiring and spliced in the fuel pump relay, tested the wiring and am pretty confident the engine wiring is ready to go.
Attached Image

I don't think I have shown the fuel pump setup, I am running some kind 911 or 928 pump and filter mount I dug out of the junk pile at Renegade a decade ago, A 911 filter, and a 928 fuel pump, the date on it says 1988 so I might be swapping this out, we'll see how it works first. You can see the loose wires to the pump, I am not wrapping or tying down any of the wiring until i have a running engine.

I had mocked up the 3D printed battery mount with sheet metal screws so I riveted in some steel threaded inserts as a more permanent solution.

Real Battery is in.

Engine oil and tranny has been changed.
