The fuel lines and injectors save for the one to the cold-start valve (broken !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! bolt), and vacuum lines and hoses are back are in. The problem with having a rare low-production car is that some parts are NLA(No Longer Available). As such, I’ve run in to a few hiccups with fortunate solutions.
Part #4 is the NLA part.
The first was a small tear found in the hose that connects the waterpump to the t-stat housing (#4) .....That’s an NLA part. Fortunately, I’ve got a good acquaintance with a contact at PCNA and he was able to find a few and will be shipping me one soon.
The second problem was the boot for the charge pipe->turbo (8A and 32) was missing since day one and I just now noticed. These are also NLA, so I’ve ordered a silicone hose and t-bolt clamps to replace what cannot be had.
After these parts arrive and are installed, we’ll do a pressure check of the cooling system, and if the green light is given, give the engine it’s first start!

I wish you better luck than my friend. He just finished everything on his junkyard 944. He had previously run the engine for maybe two or three 10 second periods since the coolant system wasn’t all put together, and it seemed fine. Today he ran it for a while with everything in place, and it started producing white smoke and dripping oil.
