Well I got a good bit done the end of last week and over the weekend. I got the engine bay painted, mounted the fuse blocks under the dash and wired all that back up. I mounted my Meth tank and pump back out under the hood(they where in the rear of the car last year)

I also painted the coil pack brackets, fuel rail brackets, and brackets for my expansion tank and block for my coolany crossover block.

Torque converter shipped and will be here on Friday. Motor and trans will be going back on the car Saturday.

They I will need some small nickel and dime stuff along with wireing up my relays for my fans and water pump. Then I also need to rewire all my guages in the car. I hope to hear it run in 2 weeks

nice job man! I moved my fuse box as well. It was a huge pain in the ***. Were you able to pull the harness in and not have to extend the wires that way?

I went though and cut the harness all apart. I was actually able to shorten all but 4 of the wires by putting the fuse blocks in the dash. I have 4 wires that I need to run from the fuse block out to the headlight harness. You will very few wires out under hood.

Well I have a few things that will be showing up over the next couple days and everything is inline to install the motor and trans in the car Saturday. If all goes well I will be tuning it by the end of the week. I painted and started wraping the crossover pipe. (I ran out wrap. I will have more tomorrow) I should have some major progress over the next couple days

I wish I would have thought of that idea to just run it inside. Did you cut them, feed them through and reconnect?

Either way, that's much better than it being potentially exposed. I'll probably re-do this down the line. I cut each one and labeled each wire, butt connected and heat shrinked each wire. Then I had to do it again for the **** that ran across the front.

Your car is looking good! I'm going to the track to see how mine does.

I traced the wires from the fues blocks to the body pass though connector and cut them on either side of that connector and labled them. I also traced them over to the connectors that go to the engine harness and shortend them and.

So all that I have right now is the head light harness coming though that body pass though conector. I ran that harness hidden under the shock tower. I have also relocated the PCM in under the dash as well so just the harness for the PCM will com though my HVAC delete plate. I will try get some pics of this

Well I got a lot done on Friday/Saturday. All that is left to do is finish some wiring and make my coolant hoses, turbo drain and put the front end body pannels back on. I should have it up and running/ road worthy by the end of the week. I put installed the Driveline in at work on the lift. I brought it back home to finish up all the other stuff.

I am looking forward to seeing yours come back together as well.

I am very happy with my decision to paint the engine bay that Hammered Black/Gray color. It really sets the engine and heat wrap off.

Looks great Dan. You've done quite a nice job toting the line between form and function. Best of luck with it.
