    It was pointed out to me by several members that my tank was too light a grey for a '70.

    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ight=fuel+tank

    So I took it out and resprayed it to match the benchmark 600 mile '70S as best I could. Umbra Grey seems to be a good match.

    Also my VIN stamping in the luggage compartment was highlighted in black. Correct for '70 was body color.

    So I corrected that as well while I had the tank out. I reinstalled the tank and completed the install of the filler tube.

    Great work Tom, keep it up. You can sleep well at night knowing your gas tank is wearing the proper shade.

    A little bit more progress this week.
    I cleaned, tested and installed the MFI fuel filter console.
    I also restored the engine relay panel. I decided to use the original silver can relays. The CDI unit and MFI speed switch were rebuilt by Kurt at Partsklassik. The Bosch MFI speed switch sticker was replicated by Carbone.

    I did the rear bumper decos this week. I had several original decos in my stash and also a pair of early repros. The early repros did not match the bumper contour at all while the original pieces matched as expected. My original pieces however were scratched on the bottom side would have needed to be polished and re-anodized and also new rubber to be perfect. Based on a recent thread on the forum, I decided to try the Stoddard repro's which were reported to have a better fit than even the new Porsche Classic pieces.

    I am generally very happy overall with the Stoddard parts as the fit seems to be as good as the originals.

    Next up will be fitting of the rear bumpers and license plate panel.

    Lookin good Tom.

    What's the consensus on over-restored trunks?
    Survey as to whether owners want crappy looking, half-sprayed, glue-everywhere original or pretty like Tom's?
