I think he meant what your source for a new rear 'U' hose was, since they're NLA. I just used up the new last one I had on Anderson's GT, and truthfully it was a giant pain in the *** to get seated and oriented properly, had to un-bend the driver's side slightly to get it to line up on the left rear damper. The modern replacements are a much easier proposition.

Sorry, the car is still work-in-progress and wanted to cover the new light grey leather steering wheel with stretch film.

Thanks for your explanation.
As far as I know my mechanic did not replaced it and we used the original part which was in good shape

The auto is missing the black plastic cap that goes on the end of the left-side coil
The S4 intake tubes look definitely much better, although both can be used I chose the original part on the 91 GT

Thanks for your comment, the following plastic cap is now installed on the coil

Very much appreciate your comment;

The rear bumper covers are for GTS. I like the originals better.
After various discussions, including one with Roger, we have deleted the air pumps in both cars while rebuilding both engines, I have two new filters but they are not installed for that reason
The rubber on the fender edges are sth that we installed, you are right.
The rear bumper covers are original new GTS parts.

Thanks for all your comments,
Please let me know if you spot sth wrong or have a suggestion to do it better.
We still have some time but the project will ''hopefully'' be finalized soon.
Thanks again for all your comments

Spark plug wire routing on the 5-8 side should be behind the cam cover, except the lead for cylinder 5.

Here's pics by Jim Corenman in another thread

Jim is correct - confirmed against pictures of engine bay in factory brochures for S4/GT
