    Working on some mockup on the used Hella electric vacuum pump and the updraft oriented K&N air cleaner.

    I'm satisfied with the vacuum pump location and have the control valve, wiring and vacuum hose to run to the opposite side of the engine compartment. That will be easy.

    The air filter location and remaining assembly I haven't completed yet, but have plenty of spare parts to configure anyway I come up with. Whats here is 3" parts reducing to 2 1/2" and finally the turbo inlet at 2 1/4" inches.

    The K&N filter is inverted behind the headlight assembly. Feel free to share ideas, were keeping costs to a minimum here LOL

    Andre, I've had a good experience with Alex on a transaction before. Even with shipping I saved on a few parts.

    I would have to think about it for a bit on how to properly support your car in those conditions in order to remove the entire components of the rear assembly.

    coming from back ground with heavy equipment, we referred to temporary supports being dunnage. The floor tubs are not suitable for direct loading so coming up with a cradle if you will that is supported with dunnage would be a direction I would look at.

    I like the recommendation you gave on the new fabricated 1-piece version lugs. They look and function fine on my car. I'm going to copy the list you posted for bushings you ordered from Alex and get them for Collin's car. It's well past due with all the thuds you can hear and feel being emitted from the back of the car.

    Great to see you making progress Andre'!

    I know how life can become so busy that if its not a need at the moment, things like working on a project car don't make the priority list :)

    I purchased a few items from Alexandre a couple of months ago. No issues with parts purchased and with fast shipping I will purchase from him again.

    Almost forgot to keep this thread alive! So what's been happening here?

    A few things, the front seat belts had lost their ability to retract so replacements were given from Thomas to install. There from a series II which have the sea belt clip retained from sliding down the belt and are easier to reach at shoulder level.

    The car received my wheel and tire package. Late model wheels with Michelin Primacy's MXV4 205/60HR15

    These make for a better quality ride and are long lasting!

    Headlamps have been upgraded to Hella H4 E1 flat lamps with 145/60 watt bulbs. I've had these on a previous 505 for years and make for a vast improvement.

    Will get some photos posted soon :)
