They look like Konis? That's what mine were.
As I said......I will take another look.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Drivers looks fine, passenger looks backwards to me also.

Fishah,
you were correct on the shock being off by 180. I didn’t notice the bottom of the shocksmounts are welded with a slight angled.
I very much appreciate you catching this and letting me know.

Your project is inspiring, and I've been enjoying following along, so it's absolutely my pleasure to assist. It looks much better now. I'm glad that you got it sorted!

Like I said I did the same exact thing a couple weeks ago, and I was really scratching on what I did wrong because I knew something looked just a little off.

Started working on power steering lines. I am using modified stock lines. I utilized the banjo flanges to the steering box and cut the steel tubing just above the mount on the fender wall. I welded the AN-6 fitting on and used the hight pressure fittings and hose. I was able to make the pressure line and installed to power steering pump after installing a extended AN fitting. I am not happy with the way the return line runs to the plastic tank, so I am either going to make new tank or see if there are other options mounting to plastic tank.

Picked up 993 8 way Electric seats. The seats are new, meaning they were removed soon after receiving the car and put in storage. The seats are in perfect condition. I did the math and it came out cheaper to buy these seats instead of redoing my seats, plus I get 20 years newer technology if any in the motors. The size and mounts are the same as the 928 seats.

At this point I don't know what is more impressive- the build or your footwear.

Finished the coolant tank after a few more mods. Plumbed the heater hoses and made a new radiator line from motor to radiator. I used some aluminum billet clamps that add a nice touch and clamp very well.

Would you be interested/willing to build a second overflow tank like that one?

928 motorsports has them for sale with or without the sending unit. Made to bolt in and hook up to stock 928 plumbing. I have my hands full right now and probably can’t build one for his price. Thanks for asking.

I do understand about being busy, and appreciate your response. I am looking for one for an LS3, and will look at his site, but am not a big fan.

Just Peachy (Tony) has the tank on his LS3. The difference in my tank is I made it for AN fittings and I made it deeper with a step to clear all the hoses.
Fully understand where you are coming from.

Decided to ditch the 5 gallon windshield washer tank. I purchased a AC Delco pump and built a new aluminum tank.

Finally, you make it to slippers.

I personally favor the Costco Dearfoam's for my garage/shop attire...
