Default Cleaning the Drivers side of the engine now.

Well since Steve (Steve2000SS) and I figured out how to clean up the passenger side of the engine bay I decided to work on the Drivers side tonight. I relocated the air hose and the hood release latch. This is what I came up with. Sorry this is the best before picture I have.

The hood cable is in the wheel well. Worked for your wires. The only problem is that it's almost to long to route that way.

Got the email still looking at it.

If you and Steve don't stop this obsession, I will be in deep doo doo! I can't just leave all that stuff laying around in my engine bay now! <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> I have too much work to do now. . . .

I must have missed something...

Can someone shed some light on how to clean up the passenger side? I'm so sick of all that wiring just hanging out everwhere! Thanks.

Jon

I'm in the process of doing this same thing. Where did you mount the wires to beneath the fender?

For this I routed the air hose down low by the ABS unit. Still viewable just not as much. The hood latch cable is between the fender and the wheel well (the black thing where the wheel is). I didn't think it needed to secured to anything as it's really not that flexable so did not think it would go anywhere and so far it hasn't moved.

Or are you talking about the Passenger side mod?? If so once again the wires are between the fender and the wheel well. Steve used some industrial strength velco and velcored them to the underside of the fender.
