Default Did the Wire Mod and TC relocation. pic inside

Just thought I would share. Not the greatest pic, but you get the idea. Also sanded and primed/painted/cleared the strut tower too. Overall looks pretty good.

Yeah pretty much everything is out of the way. The motor is all apart, just the block sitting in the bay. Just covered everything up and went to town.

Although the pic quality is lacking, its pretty clear that the wire mod cleaned up the bay nicely.

Paint job looks nice too. What clear did you use? Spray can or gun?

spray can. Just took my time and let the paint flash between coats and same with the clear. There are some dirt specs and such in it, but hey if you saw it before you would know why I did it. LOL

yeah you get some rubber splicing tape at Home Depot and take off the inner wheel well and wrap the whole harness in the rubber tape and just relocate the 2 ground wires to the underside. Pretty easy to do as long as you have the metal holesaw bit.

It didnt take me too long. I spent more time searching around to find the right size bit (1-3/4) Bi-metal holesaw bit to be exact. I would say a couple hrs to do the hiding of the wires and TC. And then about a day or so just doing the sanding a paint work. But thats a rough estimate. Its a real easy mod to do and I should of done it along time ago...
