I did. I cut short the hard fuel line and moved the fitting down to the frame rail, then had Hose & Rubber make me a soft fuel line that I looped up behind the trans tunnel, and I mounted the original fuel filter on the drivers fender. Come over and look at it.

But it makes my driveway so sexy.

Not this weekend. Headed out for the GTT Thursday afternoon, I'll be back sometime Sunday.

Alright, I'll come have a look next week sometime.

Kevin won't be there, but the bastard will rotfl

In all seriousness though..... what can we do to getr' done

Every time I think I'm going to spend the morning under the hood something pops up or I get sidetracked. What I think I need to do is throw a wrench party one of these weekends so you all can come over and keep me on task. Very Happy

To do list: install the conversion harness, locate the ECU, shield the brake lines and intake, drain the dead gas and clean the tank, probably some other little stuff.

I just spent the better part of an hour (fortunately on the clock) reading through this build thread. It has a terribly sad ending, like Tiger Woods' golf career. I feel bad for the Bastard. Anything I can do to help get another 1st gen back on the road?

Make me stop playing on the weekends so that I have time to finish the yardwork and honey-dos so that I have time to pay attention to the truck? Smile

It's for sale. If you know somebody looking, send them my way?

I will totally f*cking sell this to you, don't think I won't. And then I will totally point and laugh when you don't finish it either.
