The Fuel Cell....

So last night, I got around to plumbing the fuel cell a bit. Went around the garage to see what we could canabalize to grab some AN fittings. Eventually I was able to find most of the fittings from Andy's RX7 and parts off his old Dually. The MSD EFI pump and 300ZX fuel filter ..
found a 90 degree bend and some old -8 lines from the cell off Andy's 7, this is used for the fuel vent. Also to the left of the cell, found a -8 to -6 reducer to be used as the fuel return line. aslo got about to pinstriping a bit of the cell, I think I'll add one more color to it. on top of the reducer, found a 90 degree -6 AN fitting that will be the fuel return line.
Underneath the car, a -8 90 is used and fed through -8 line to the fuel pump..
From the filter on to th engine, it will be a -6 line. I'll have to hit Earl's this weekend to buy line, and a couple more fittings.

Fuel Cell

Finally getting around to installing the Jegs Fuel Cell. Was trying to figure out if I should mount the cell directly into the trunk, or have the cell stick out through the bottom a bit. After a bit of fiddling around, finally decided on just putting the cell inside the trunk. Should be about where it sits, also in this picture, you can see the bedliner that was applied to the whole of the trunk.
Couple shots with all the windows in. still need to install the window trims.
Another of windows.
Another shot.

So next was to make a plate to go inside the hole where the original fuel tank was mounted.

Test fitted.. Next installed the fuel gauge sender unit to the cell. Gave the plate a couple coats of paint, then mounted the plate directly to the trunk, and the cell will be mounted on top of that as soon as I order my AN plumbing.
Some shots we took last night after a quick wash
It's starting to really really look like a car again.



Still have to run brake lines/fuel lines. Install all the new rubber bushings, lower the thing, and get tires for my wheels. but all in all it's coming along.

starting to look like more of a car....

This past weekend, went down to San Diego to Catch Rise Against and Rancid. Rossi got us some backstage passes and it was F'ing awesome!

Back to the car! I've not got all windows in, still have to install the chrome pieces along the front and rear windows, but I'll save that for a day when I've got some patience...


I've also added some bedliner to the whole of the trunk, got my rear taillights installed along with the rear bumper/license plate lamp and rear plate. Pix to follow for those, now I'll have to get to installing the fuel cell and run some fuel lines!
