[/quote] Stock fuel tank, even using a stock return line (not necessary, but I wanted the FPR in the front). Basically everything in the rear end is stock. Driveshaft is custom. Adding a torque arm to control the diff. That’s about all. ---

ETA is ASAP. Ordering a fuel fitting right now from summit to fix a leak…then I have more wiring to do and a million minor issues to track down. Plus an alignment, an exhaust, new tires, putting the interior in… ---

Brent got some stuff done yesterday. The driveshaft is now temporarily bolted up to the diff, but we need to get different bolts to do it for good. And we finally got the grease gun to fit in the u-joint, so now the driveshaft is well lubricated. The torque-arm is confusing, but we think we understand it now. Getting it on, may be a different story. We also pulled the dash back out, so that wiring can be finished, and then the interior re-installed, for the last time. A bunch of little things now, but its coming to an end shortly, I guarantee. –mark [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-to-steal-the-soul-of-an-fd-sold/24871.md?page=8) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-to-steal-the-soul-of-an-fd-sold/24871.md?page=10)
