Gretel's build..…takes the "drink me" potion

That looks great! I so have to bag my car now.

Yes! You'll love it, once you get past the install lol

Turns out, fronts aren’t as bad to adjust height as I thought…. Biggest pain was just unhooking the leader lines

so having watched a few vids and talked to several folks that have done the hpfp swap on their own....I think I can tackle it. Planning this in stages too.....getting everything so I have it all on hand....so when I swap out the internals, I have the tune waiting....fuel in a can waiting and EVERYTHING ready...due to doing this in my garage.

that said...I have no workbench. Never really needed one....I just used the garage floor. Not for this job though....so had to backwards plan a little bit and put together a workbench. Finding the studs was a PITA....blocking area above the cinder blocks was to high, so needed to lag screw some 2x4s into the lower end of the interior studs. Finished product.....a usable, foldable workbench that will work great for this first hpfp job!

Yea, you’ll be fine brother. Once I actually got the pump out of my car I got it all done in about 20 minutes.

Also: did you just buy a butchers block top or something for the work bench? It looks great.

That’s good to hear!

it was a kit from Home Depot actually. I was going to build one myself, but total cost wasn’t much more

Wow that’s nice, do you have a link for it? Or name of product? I’d like a work bench for the front of my garage when working on the car, but would need a foldable like that to fit.
