Heat and a/c are out finally, it would have been easier if that damn engine wasn't in the way

Here is how it looks now. You definately have to be a hardcore racer to love doing this,and I am loving every minute
!!!! I haven't taken that much wiring out just all of the airbag and heating/air! I have seriously considered a Painless set up but I want to keep my stereo and power windows and locks!!

All together I would say i have lost around 200lbs. In addition to everything I have listed I have also removed front bumper support,windshield washer fluid tank,windshield wipers,and motor,tcs and cruise,and there hasn't been a backseat for over 2 years now! I also plan to move the battery to the back, add a Grant steering wheel, a spool,gundrilled axles and everything else in the sig!
