Both the top set and the bottom set look really good - I loved your car at Springfest, excellent stuff.

What I don't get it is, why would you go through all the effort to tuck the bay if you leave a good deal of ugly wire shielding/mess behind? I can see they deleted/relocated all the hardlines and deleted/relocated the reservoirs, which is an undertaking...

That bundle that's just fucking laying on the passenger-side motor mount? The ugly injector wiring? And all the wiring on the driver's side of the transmission? Sloppy stuff, looks like they didn't even try to tuck it at all, just run the stock wiring regularly with no effort.

Just my 2 cents, coming from someone who designs and fabricates control panels for a living - and has OCD.

But good luck! Can't wait to see the outcome, fingers crossed for you man

I've been thinking of trying my hand at wire tucking, seeing as I have unlimited access to tools and supplies, but I'd like to have a go at my own car for round one. I'm subscribed to this thread, so just let us know what route you go with the shaving and tucking and all that and I might follow in your footsteps. And again, best of luck

any pics of previous work?, ive been told to be weary of shotty wiring and what not. Not that im knocking your work ya know, just told to be careful cause some people get lazy tucking, but if you think you could do that tuck properly id definately be interested man.
