Porsche 928S2, almost done?

Looking back I see the last time I mentioned my Porsche 928S2 project was July, it stalled again when I found that there were still parts missing, unreturned from the garage that took the heads off for me. With a bit of a flat spot last week I took some time to wrap my head around what I'd need to complete the job and it is now, finally, coming together. Some of the vacuum system was missing but the parts book was very helpful and I was able to source 2 original Porsche rubber vacuum Y-pieces through Eurospares and a pair of rubber elbows from Rare Porsche Parts. The vacuum pipe was plastic, 4mm OD, I found the right stuff at Advanced Fluid Solutions, the parts book was nice enough to list the various lengths required to tie it all together. A more critical missing part is the fuel inlet pipe that connects the fuel line on the inner wing to the fuel rail, I've given up on that coming back and sourced a new one, again from Eurospares. I'll have to come up with an L-shaped bracket as that's missing and also unavailable as an original part but shouldn't be too much trouble. And finally the electric air valve that mounts on the strut brace is, hopefully, coming in the post. That will just leave the coolant (G48, should be here tomorrow) and the power steering fluid (ATF, got plenty of that already). Once it's back together I'll probably stare at it for a day or so while I pluck up the courage to try firing it up. It was nice to finally fit the air filter, the offside intake pipe is not fitted as yet as that's where the fuel pipe goes.
