Yes, not required anymore.zinnocoupe wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 4:49 pm I am wondering about the fuel pulse damper thing you have installed right at the fuel pump/filter/ reservoir. Is this where these were normally installed? I found one of these in the engine bay of my e12 and was just going to toss it.I thought the general consensus was these things weren't really necessary any more.
Thanks ... sounds like I have something to aspire to
Thanks.zinnocoupe wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 4:49 pm Kev, This is awesome. I missed this project posting somehow. Very nice metal work and rustproofing/painting work. Looks better than new. This gives me inspiration to ( maybe ) tackle the rust on my old rustbucket e24.

Also I just partially replaced the fuel lines on my e12. They were badly rusted at the back of the car all in and around the rear subframe. You are obviously well past the point of having the rear subframe out but I would suggest its a hell of a lot easier to get those lines in with the subframe and everything else out of there. I wasn't fun jamming it all in there.
Anyways great work, that car is so clean its going to be a shame to get it all dirty.

Yeah, either the parts are not available anymore or now priced at extremely amusing (high) prices.zinnocoupe wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 5:39 pm Right OK sounds good. I don't think I would ever do the fuel lines again without dropping the subframe. It worked out but it was a pain in the ass. Theres always something in the way. I'm actually at the point of replacing the exhaust heat shield on the e12. I guess now I have to paint it like yours!
And I also just clearcoated the tank fasteners to try and make them last. Mind you they aren't nice new ones like yours just cleaned up old hardware. Again great work Kev, will be following. Thx for posting , very good pics
