Get that nasty sound deadener off the strut towers while your at it

 

oh its on the list of things to do, I already removed the pad from the other side

 

On a side note. How's that liquid tape? Good? Worth it? Never tried it or heard of it but might try it. Gonna do something secret on the balt

 

Awesome project, subed for progress

 

So you're running from the firewall by the brake booster up through the little cubbyhole and out the fender right? If I'm seeing that correctly.

 

it works well I use it to waterproof wires for outside use all the time

yes that's correct, if someone wanted to spend the time to tear apart the dash you could come from the cabin directly into the "cubbyhole" and then through the fender but I really didn't care to do that when you cant really see it anyway

 

I'm definitely going to have to do this. This would work well for another thing I have planned.

 

sorry there has not been an update in a week or so I came down with the flu and haven't wanted to really touch the car. any who I get my engine-block back from the machine shop tomorrow and once the engine has been assembled I will pick back up with the bay shave, strip the car, paint it and finish the wire tucking

 

Sub for awesomeness, keep up the good work.

 

I would like to see the finished product sub'd

 

In for progress, Big job but its worth it.

 

this is gonna be awesome. great job so far. cant wait to see how it turns out. good luck. keep us posted

 

This has been on my list for a while now as well.

Hmm I wonder if we're planning on the same thing with the added space

 

update?

 

Turbooo

 

I have actually thought about that lol
like I said a few posts previous, not much has been done to the car, I did finish extending the wires from the cabin of the car but now I think I'm going to bring them back into the cabin and reroute them through the hole I made in the windshield wiper channel before connecting to the fuse box
I also decided i was going to redo the brake lines so they are out of the way/view
here is how she sits now

 

So awesome. Much jelly.

 

How did you go about labeling your wires? What was your system?

 

subd.

 

what I did was I used label sheets and wrote a letter for harness identification and number for wire identification on a slip for each wire and placed two exact same labels on one wire then cut in-between them so A1 would mate up with A1, A2-A2, A3-A3. the little address sticker sheets from the office store work well for this

 

Genius

 

I see, so wire tuck means you gotta get rid of the engine so you can show the max space gain,

 

No a wire tuck is where you go through the engine bay and "tidy" it up. Problem with our cars is you're limited on what all you can do because of how our electrical system is ran. The best time to do the majority of the hard stuff is when the engine is out like OP is doing

 

Truth ^^^^

 

Most manufacturers are just throwing plastic on top of everything as a pseudo wire tuck lol
