This past week was a little nuts with carbs coming on and off and on and off again...Saturday I got the new fuel pressure regulator installed and built a new hardline for the engine (new flex lines were required as well). I thought I'd start a photo thread as Dale (245GTI) came down from Calgary to lend a hand (2.5 hour drive!) and brought his fancy camera.

Here's the new lines, pressure gauge, and FPR installed.










We then hooked up the 4th gear lockout switch and the reverse lights...things are insanely clean.




A few details.







Then we bled the clutch and brakes and went for a drive...who needs a hood, headlights, turn signals or bumpers?



My two 2-doors meet for the first time...



Back to the garage...for more finish work...fast. The transmission shifted great, brakes are very good, valves need to be adjusted again, and I've got an oil leak out the valve cover (IPD rubber gasket is terrible).



Thanks for all the assistance.

Craig
