Im watching your build and i love it.. keep it up.. ill have to play this route next. so stand by for my round two haha.
The wire cut was pretty precise, I measured each wire individually. There was just a slight overlay on two wires but I will be chopping out the extra slack tomorrow... I hate half *** ****.

The harnesses will tuck smoothly along side the door. The harness was made extra long just to keep my options open if the side became over stuffed... (run it down the passenger side if needed)

Just hit me up when you decide to put her down, I'll be there for any needed insight.

The work wheels remind me if that other build and a set of CCW classics have been drillin my concentration.

Thanks for all the props in advance!

don't do CCW or work wheels, they're both getting super common, do a BBS LM with a color matched facia or something of that nature, make it unique

BBS LM1's are legit wheels, the one thing I hate is that they are so limited on dimensions, wheel width etc. I'm looking to squeeze a 18x10.... I don't believe it's possible with the LM1.

Posting up some pics of tibights progress.... Then I'm out-

First off, I pulled the main engine harness through the firewall back into the cabin..

Secondly, I removed the brake booster to pull the firewall engine pad... It seems I'm making more work for
Myself, I'll paint it in a few days after the needed holes are drilled.

Third, I was having some issues finding a new location to run the harness keeping in mind it has toake it's way through the wiper tray for stealth...

The only option was to unbolt the 4 dash bolts, this gave me the needed 4" or so of space to run the harness to the back of the tray. I pulled it over then plotted a good location for an access point/tray entry.

Then it was of to the races, I ran the engine through the access port and down the wiper tray.

I almost forgot, the harness that goes to the injector resistor board would not reach up through the dash so they were left in the cabin by the passenger foot well, this board I mounted up right in that front foot wall... The wires for the four plugs will need an extra 5" for each plug, close but nothin is easy with this!

With the ultimate tuck thing going on I still want this to be functional, as far as engine harness accessiblity is concerned. I don't want to have to put my car on a lift to change something minor. So functionality is key, the engine harness will be the only wires visible. That can be changed with ease if I decide to go all out.

With the harness in the tray it needed a point of entry to the engine... I chose the spot dead center behind the stock strut brace mount. A 2" hole was cut to drop the wires down, after a strut bar is in this will be slightly more "sleeper" not to mention an intake Mani may help....

Here's a shot with the padding off and the harness center if bay.... This will essentially be the only thing left other than the 4 brake likes and a brake booster, painted of course!
