lol, it is a bit overdone in terms of length but i am doing this sorta blog to make me remember what all i have done. one thing that all of this has taught me is alot of patience. between dealing with bodyshops that like to take their sweet azz time to vendors in korea that think that 5 weeks is a smoking delivery time it has been a true test of patience to say the least.
thank you for your kinda words bud, really appreciated.

Looks like I stopped by today at the right time. Looks real good and it's changed a whole lot since you started working on it. Get that manual swap done and I see a COTY in your future.
For clutches I really loved my South Bend stage 1. It pulled strong for 1000 of the 1500 miles it was in my car. pat.gif It was good before the shop messed it up though.

I am in love with how you routed the wiring....can you elaborate a little more on how you did it. I get the just of it but as far as parts, how hard it was to drill....etc....
Thanks and good job again.

^^ I used a 3/4" hole saw bit. this is a double structure area so you actually have to drill two holes inline. that was the o.d. size of the grommets i used. probably could have gone smaller but all i had at the time was 3/8" flex loom.
1. if you take off the panel that covers the fuse box you will see the big squarish hole i used to route those wires up to the pillar.
2. once you have routed the wires through that big hole you will need to unbolt one bolt on the bottom left side of the near near the hood release.
3. push wires past that bracket, rebolt dash.
4. finally pull the door seal off near the dashboard and pull the wires through the crack between the door sill and dashboard, put seal back on.
