The body is waiting for painting job. It's too hot down here in Brazil (about 100 F) not a good weather to make premium painting job, I prefer to wait some weeks.
Thanks !

Carnaval in Brazil, millions of people at beach or getting crazy at street and I'm assembling my car's fuel admission under 41 degrees Celsius...
Found some gasket paper at shop and decide to make new ones. Looks pretty !
Painted all admission manifold and fuel lines with high temperature Aluminium. I'll post pictures when finished - maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hi !
Finally finished the intake restoration, after about 30 hours of labor. In my opinion, the result is fantastic, and I'm very proud of that.
The task List:
Changed water and vacuum hoses
Changed injector rubber and sleeves
Ultrasonic cleaned injectors
Painted fuel lines
Cleaned WRU,including ultrasonic bath
Painted Intake tubes and plenum
Restoring of Porsche Logo
Revision of all water hoses
New Intake gaskets
Now the engine is looking much better. Next weekend I'll try to put it in running condition again.

wow thats a great job your doing there the intake looks great as does the painted car.
I am doing a line swap out like what you have done,
the only lines i dont see in your picture are the two fuel lines by the right hand cylinder head,
I would suggest to swap those out as well if you have not done so.
Goodluck on your project

Great job ... I've added a pic of the fuel lines MrMerlin is referring to, that you should replace.
If you haven't already replaced them they'll be hard and cracked like these ones were on my 82. Mine is RHD of course but the lines are the same ... a bit difficult to get to with the engine in.
