Got the fuel system all set up. Mounted in the factory fuel pump location is a Carter 4070 fuel pump. It's internally regulated and requires no return line. ThumbUp

Normally a mk1 fuel filter is in the engine bay but I wasn't having that. So I made a little bracket and mounted it where the fuel accumulator used to go.

I tore the rack completely down. cleaned, lubed, and painted it then put on some fresh tie rods and boots.

Got the brake setup all mounted and bent up some stainless steel brake lines

Here you can see the fuel feed line as well. I welded the little metal tabs on the left in there before the body work for that OEM look.

Then Ed came over last night and we got quite a bit done.

Here is the engine and trans all assembled. I forgot to picture the lightened flywheel and Sachs clutch but the are in there.

We slid it under the car just as you see it and lowered the car down onto it. The whole thing went great and there were no accidental scratches of any kind. :clap:

It looks quite warm and cozy there in it's new home I think.

Ed agrees

It may look like it's almost ready to run but there is still quite a lot of work to be done including fabricating the entire wire harness forward of the firewall. But the list is slowly shrinking and I'm happy with the progress so far. Thanks for the help Ed.
