Yes! It's been a year that i've been working on this car. Thanks to you guy weve got it running. We replaced the clutch, the bearings, the fuel tank, new fuel pump and accumulators, New head (Just one thats been worked on and has new iteams.) Re wiring the whole car. Put the relay in the back of the car. (So it's easier to reach.) Going to replace all of the grounds (Interior ones.) Replaced the forks in the alternator, Rebuilt the whole fuel system (New lines, new cold and hot start vavues, new banjo fittings, and new injectors.) Going to make those head lights(The DIY ones you guys made.) Redoing interior. Took back seat out, Building custom speaker box, Newer sports seat, seat covers, new ignition(KEY) dash cover (The thing you glue on that looks stock.) Put a vinyl roof on (Not replacing the sunroof, so we putt a vinyl roof on. It looks nice. Kind of like a Tagra top.) Replaced the front struts, new bearing, new radiator hoses, new fan, Worked on brakes. We drove it around during september and october. Me and mom are getting back to working on it proably this weekend (If the weather is nice.) Mom wants to get a D style steering wheel that way have more room. Wanting to install a Oil cooler, and remote oil filter. Might install a small nitrous kit. (With the help of you guys. Trying to find a ZEX kit that will fit a 1978. If you know where i can get one let me know.) Might get a new exhaust system W/O cat.(About 2 and 1/2 inches so i don't lose pressure. tell me what i should get if that's to big, cause i want a little more power.) Got a front end for it that were going to make so it can be taken on and off (Can drive it up ramps, of pull it up in my garage cause it will break it.) Got a PORSCHE rear lamp that fills in where the license plate went. Got a new badge for christmas, also go insurance and license plates for christmas. Go a fuse that keeps blowing (#6 i think, but i may be wrong mom said it's for brake lights or something, so were going to see if we accidently put some wire together wrong when we moved the fuse box.) Learned how to drive manual (day of Uncle and Aunt's wedding.) in the car. Drove it when it broke down (Had to tow it.)

But i want to thank all of you guys. You made this go well. I also learned alot about cars and the K-Jectronic system (Only kid in school who knows what it is.) Learned alot. Going on to be a automechanic. So Thank you guys a million times for your guys wisdom and help

Your Truely,
Jesse

Wow! Quite a list. You've been busy.

Did you say you moved the whole relay panel or just the fuel pump relay to the back of the car?

Nice to see some pics, if you've got some. Good luck on the career.

I'll have had my car for one year in about two weeks I believe...I'm celebrating by getting it out of the garage and onto the roads again for the summer!! I can't wait

.

On the same note as Porsche924boy, I too didn't know much about cars or doing much more than brake pads, spark plugs, air filters, light bulbs and oil changes. I researched these cars through the info on this board for a few months before I found my car and it really helped my understanding with the great amount of knowledge on here. I'm also thankful for all the help that everyones given to me and everyone else...I went from being a total newbie to actually being able to give advice everyonce in a while!
