Default started my wire tuck

i got started tonight. I decided i would start on the driver side with the headlight wiring/turn signals. Here is a before shot

Here is a few pictures of were the wire is going to go in and out at.




As you can see i am using a shoe lace to pull my wiring harness through .

Here is a shot going into the engine bay

And here is were i brought the wiring out at

Tomarow i am going to mount my headlight and extend the wires as needed. Im also going to start the driver side tomarow.

resizing pics owns you....
for real, go to microsoft and download the free program and will let you resize pics very easily.

The tuck looks good though, good luck.

Default Ever thought about depinning the connectors?

Might be better than hacking them off the connector?

You have to extend the wires anyhow for a tuck, eh?

Thanks its getting there very slowly but getting there. Tomarow my girlfriend is going to clean up the engine bay and ill get some more done on it. The weekends is when i can really work on it alot. In the week i normally only get an hour or two. I am kind of at a stoping point until my motor is completly put together to do the rest of the harness but im getting some shrink wrap and some solder tomarow and i am going to wire the headlights back into the harness and get them loomed up. Ill have another update by the end of the weekend.

You want to mount the fuse box lower. It's going to be damned near impossible to replace a fuse.

Unfortunately I speak out of personal experience. Lying on your back under the dash in the middle of the night replacing a fuse is NOT fun. You don't get to choose when one goes out.

Looks good so far, but why didnt you clean the engine bay before you started? Looks like the car drove through a dust storm.

Just curious, I see you're hiding the wires and running them through small places within the engine bay. What is the point of this?

looks good.

I did my drivers side first and wasent too happy with the results, but when I did the passanger side, and relocated my fuse box inside the car it looks great. Even with my spray painted engine bay lol.
