Maybe for some of them, the excitement is in the creation or restoration
of the car, and once that's finished, the car can't hold their interest
any longer.
For some, the money "spent" might reflect some value for the time
they've poured into the car, but that doesn't necessarily add up to
extra money the buyer has to spend.
I've put in five or six hours in the last week or two pondering how to
mount the fuel pressure regulator. Not that it can't be fit in a million
different ways - I just don't want it to look like I just poured all the
parts into the engine compartment and bolted them down wherever they
landed. I've finally determined that in order to get it to look the way
I want I'll probably end up pulling out the fuel lines and redoing them
right from one end of the car to the other. Since it's mostly 3/8" steel
tubing, that will be a character-building experience. The time spent
will make me happier to show it off to people when it's done, but it
wouldn't guarantee any increase in the hypothetical selling price.
I'm still interested in a picture anyone might have of the Mk2 fuel pump
arrangement. Not trying to clone anything, I just want to see how it was
done.
