Wire tuck finally coming to an end
I finally got off my lazy back side and decided to sit down to finish the wire tuck I started so long ago. The goal of this final stage was to attack the interior and completely eliminate every wire I was not using all the way back to its point of origin, until now I had snipped wires all over the place that probably had some current traveling through them...FIRE HAZARD!
So over the span of a few days, 6 hours of total work up until this point, I have been hacking and tucking everything into a workable and effective setup.
I have retained only the following, EVERYTHING else is gone including the multifunction switch for wipers.
-Power windows
-Power mirrors
-Power locks
-Sunroof
-All lights aside from fogs, DRL is also gone
Here are some chronological order photos, final photos will be posted when everything is connected before the dash cover goes back on.

Nice work man, that's a big project to tackle.
I'm confused though. You got rid of your wipers and airbag, but kept power mirrors and locks?

Added 8 more photos to the original post, installed a Mishimoto coolant resevoir to the engine bay tonight as well. Will be dropping the brake booster and installing a Chase Bays brake booster eliminator at some point, possibly in the winter so I can take the proper time to do it the way I want. Motor will be coming out so all the empty bolt holes can be welded and made flat to be repainted.
Being in the military I have access to all sorts of great wiring options so I am hitting up our techs to grab me a 44pin mil spec connector which will really make wiring a lot easier and neater.
