I modified a cheap ebay fuel sending unit. Added a 1/2" line as the new supply and made the stock 3/8" the return. The fuel pump is a Holley sniper. I tig welded the lines but because my welds suck I used fuel safe epoxy to make sure it all seals well.

I placed the battery in the trunk and used a small plastic box to mount a breaker, shutoff solenoid, inertia switch and fuel pump relay.

I don't have a better photo it seems but here you can see the battery as it sits now. I decided to use an aluminum mount bolted to the top of the crossmember that runs between the frame rails. This puts the battery closer to the center of the car and I think makes the battery have less moment during turning.

Started the exhaust system but ran out of argon. The pipes are stainless steel 3in universal kit and I decided to go with Blackwidow Venom 250s. I will have to get more gas to get the rest of the tail pipes and a balance pipe in.

I got these Braum Elite seats to replace the old 80s era seats I had. These seats are super nice feeling and the bolsters are nice. I had the make seat brakets to adapt these into the car. I think the quality of these seats look to be of a high quality assembly
I have Recaros in my Focus ST and these seats feel as nice as the Recaros. I guess my only complaints would be I wish the bottom bolsters could be a little taller at the thigh and the seat sliders are kinda cheap.

I took a coupe of days off of work and with a lot of help from My dad, my wife and our kids we were able to quickly bolt together a great deal of stuff on the car. These long days of work rewarded us with being able to get the car on the ground and out of the shop for the first time in years.

Here is how it looks so far. I also have started driving it a little. I'm happy with the ride and suspension. The car feels solid and confident. The front tires rub only a little if making a 3 point turn backing up. The old T56 goes though all gears without and hassle or drama so I'm grateful for that. The clutch slave had to be modified because there was not enough adjustment to let the clutch fully disengage. Still even with all the problems I am running into and things popping up that I didn't do right or even think about before I'm still very happy because for the fist time in my life it is a whole car and I can enjoy and share my love for cars with my family.

Very cool ride !!! It's always nice when these cars get driven and enjoyed, not just collect dust.

Dude, you nailed the stance of your car! Glad to see you out driving and working out the bugs.

Thanks, I am so happy to be able to take it one the roads around town. I picked up my son from his work yesterday and that's the first time i have gone into the main part of town with stop lights and traffic. The car is running super rich but it ran and idled fine at the stop lights. My son was surprised and happy to see me with the car and that was the best part of the trip seeing him excited.
