Default Starting my first wire tuck, 99 GSR DB8 ABP !

I decided to start my wire tuck since I have been looking for a new job, contract got bought out from where I used to work and everyone had to reapply. I still haven't heard back from them, and im sure my background & drug test are clear. The plan was to be boosted by IA, but things just aren't flowing right. I have pieced together 450cc dsm blue tops w/orings, OBD2b-OBD1 jumper harness, OBD1 P28 chipped ecu, Walbro 255 fuel pump, & resistor box. Was planning to buy a turboo kit and tuned on eCtune by DKgoodrich at Modern Muscle Speed Shop / 57trim 8 lbs. If I get my job back or find a new one plans will still follow through. In the meantime I will be continuing my semi-wire tuck. Enjoy !

The things I chose to knock out first, time period: 1 week:
.Battery relocation
.Cruise Control delete
.Windshield wiper fluid reservoir delete/ rain-x ftw !

Started while ago, here are some pics:
Still have to relocate the battery, and what do I do with the wire from cc to firewall ?








FYI: Thats just mud on the lip.

^ Thanks, nothing to crazy. Just made this thread for motivation man and to get some help forreal.

I got the cruise control line out and module out from underneath the dash by fuse box. Used this thread, pretty simple really. I need to go get a plug for the firewall and buy my wires and everything for the battery relocation. I will have my turbo junk combined in here as well, found out today that I will be back at work in about a week or two.

Moar pic's, another overview but without Cruise Control unit/cable & Windshield wiper fluid reservoir. Also sanded/buffed the high beams because it had the yellow tint, keeping side markers like that though. Was going to get blue wires but they were out of stock so they sent me the red. Will be trading my buddy for his black ones, same brand. Thats about it for now, going to change my oil/oil filter and replace the air filter for the V2. Still have to plug fire wall and buy everything for battery relocation then figure out what to do next for the tuck..

Thanks man, I had an al spark plug cover I was working on for a polished finish like the vc..showed this guy what I was doing with my vc and he basically copied what I did, so I just painted my stock spark plug black. Its all good tho, I still think it looks pretty good with the black spc.

Sits pretty; I'm kinda curious as to what it looks like with the wing. Sucks to hear about your job.

Beautiful DB man.

Are you planning on moving the fuse box in the bay to inside the cabin?
