I been following a lot of builds on this site for awhile now just never really posted anything because compared to the guys on here I didnt have anything worthy of posting lol. In the summer of 09 I got my first real swap which was a OBD1 JDM H22a swap that I traded my EH2 shell for which I would have built for the track. I'm only 19 and work part time at a grocery store and have to help out at home and juggle bills at the same time try and fund my build which is where I like to relieve a lot of stress and what not. Basically I make with what I can which most ppl on here can say the same. It took me awhile to source out parts here and there and while assembling the motor I thought why not try and do my own wire tuck. Im from the north east and around here ppl dont really focus on the bay, their more about swaps and rims, where as I like the whole restoration of a car. So while the motor was outta the car I decided to do my own tuck and here are pics documenting the process. Now this tuck may not be as intense or eloborate as others on this site but this was my first major modification of a vehicle and I figured it was the perfect time since I got my first garage. The pics are off my G1 so sorry for the crappiness. Mind you the motor is in and the bay is painted these are the only pics I can source off my computer, I will try and take pics of how the car sits currently and will keep you guys updated from there. All I have left to do are the hardlines for the brakes and the engine harness, which hopefully a Chasebay's one can fall from the sky lol but as of now I'll have to work with the one I have. Comments and advice are always welcome.

This is what the bay looked like when i started

How interior started



ABS unit which is going to get completely removed



driverside



passengerside fuse box removed to be located inside



driverside harness HIDDEN not tucked yet




passengerside harness. The orange plugs are for ABS which run threwout the whole harness so i will have to go ahead and depi them from the rest of the plugs



ABS unit removed and prepping holes



Bay shot



drivreside



Dash out. This harness is a mess and my compustar runs threw out the whole ****



These plugs are for the fusebox



This is what the passengerside harness looks like with most of the ABS wires removed



These are all the ABS wires what a mess



Dash and a/c and blower unit







The compustar runs into the harness ;(



Shaved off the 2 squares that hold 2 10mm and primered it to prevent rust



I will be welding some sheet metal to patch that up and make it flush with the frame. I also plan on patching up the whole on the mount bracket.



Removed all studs and grinded them down.(this is when i cut my finger lol) More primer afterwards.



Just removing rust to prevent any in the future then hit it with the primer.
