    The insulation between the engine compartment and the luggage case has just been replaced. If the engine is not removed, it is quite a job. You need to loosen the expansion tank, oil cooler, K Jettronic head and air filter and move them by a few centimeters. You have to remove 2 supports of the aluminum protective plate above the exhaust and even then it is quite a job to properly install the insulation.

    Fantastic, not real and not too much to see :) At the same time, a small problem was discovered on the expansion vessel. Small leak the size of a mm = to be done next week waiting for metal. epoxy. Drove about 50 km yesterday and the leak caused no problems. But do it anyway before bigger problems arise

    Where did you get the tank decal? I have one I got from Superformance but it doesn't look much like the original.

    Finished the front heater hose spaghetti MESS with all new hoses and newly plated hardware and pipes. I know now why they call Italian cars "spaghetti cars." I always thought it was because they were from Italy... I think if they all do their heater hoses like this then that must be where it came from.

    Also finished all of the plumbing for the new AC. If you're thinking about this job don't pay the extra to Classic Auto Air they are absolutely NO help and their "kit" is hardly a "kit." Were I to do it again I'd piece together my own from the helpful threads here... I still have to do the compressor... not looking forward to it since I'm quite sure their "instructions" will be entirely inadequate.

    And finally... new Radiator, condenser, and spal fans with custom mounts along with all new plated hardware and new hoses for all of the water pipes.

    Finished the install of my driver passenger tank after refurbing everything... I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the designers of the tank for the amazingly generous hose clearance for both the filler and other hoses..... COUGH... or not? Never have I seen such a short "hose" to connect a filler neck and tank in my life... much cursing was involved on this one.
