the"Busted knuckle duster"

So been a minute since we got to work on the duster. So this last week we got a few pain in the *** stuff done ,and sorted out. Finished the a/c lines. Plumbed all the fuel lines. Installed the sonnax adapter for driveshaft ,and speed sensor from sound german engineering. Mounted,and hooked up the remote oil filter. Figured out the power steering lines,and got that mostly hooked up. All except the large return line. (Need a piece of 3/4 id hose. Tried the recommended 5/8 hose all it did was bloody up my knuckles trying to fit it on the pump). Ordered my transmission lines from carrid, and lastly picked up my rad hoses from napa. Gonna finish up trans lines ,and rad hose install on Tuesday when the rest if the parts show up. Will post pics then. That just leaves figuring out the heater hoses and overflow tank.
