BC I use a fuel injection line clamps no swages. for the fuel return to the sender.
Also they make 2 different transfer hoses,
( this vents the body of the tank to filler neck and goes through the frame)
one is cloth covered and is usually the one that rots out, for the later models
the other is a much thicker rubber hose this one is about 132.00 bux for the earlier model ,
I returned the cloth covered hose as it seems to not be a good choice since its a really thin hose wall

Cloth hose is fine. I'll have to find real, yellow zinc crimp able ferrules then. No hose clamps where something else was. This is a resto.

It seems to be in good hands for the paint. Will be correcting some undercoating areas on the wheel wells in the front as well. Goal is 3 months with as color spray out comparison to get the correct Baltic Blue/Tauben Blau. Respray on the car was subtly but also quite a ways off.

This is a real Baltic Blue. I think there is a duller other blue with more green that people misdiagnose as Baltic.

Additionally, it technically seems to only have been on the 928 in 1989, which is cool. Somewhat Rare. https://www.colors.rs/colorsearch?tag=CubqFZB0kl

Doesn't signify ONLY GT.

I will have to be careful as depending on lighting it can LOOK more green. It needs to have that correct blue hue.

Black 56
Guards Red 29
GP White 11
Slate Gray Metallic 6
Baltic Blue 3
Diamond Blue 2
Dark Blue 2
Silver Metallic 2
Velvet Red Metallic 2
Stone Gray Metallic 1
