So I didn't get as much done as I had hoped tonight. As it turns out installing Aeroquip fitting on braided hose is kind of a pain. This was the first time I had ever worked with them and had to learn a bit.
I started of with soldering the new pigtail for the Walbro onto the sending unit and drilling a hole where the bulkhead fitting would go for the return line from the FPR.
I chewed up the fitting a bit on my first try but lucky for me that end gets to live under the back seat where no one will see it...other than in these pictures.
I got the return line ran up to the firewall and mounted the FPR up on the drivers side fender.
I think tomorrow I'll try to make the rest of the fuel lines and maybe finish up the wiring.

I don't have a tone of pictures from this weekend but I did get some work in. I managed to finish up the fuel lines. This is where the original Lexus line meets the AN braided.
This one connector may not seem like a big deal but it was an adventure. It some how got unhooked when installing the engine and trans. As it turns out you can't plug it in when the tranny is in the car. So I had to drop the trans as low as it would go, drop the K member so I could drop the trans lower, then plug it in and reassemble.
I got my radiator overflow installed and my upper radiator hose figured out.
I also finished up the last of the wiring (still need to run battery cables and ground straps).
As it looks right now I should be starting it up for the first time next weekend, as long as I can get VATS turned off before then.
Nice car, sorry to see it got wrecked :(
