Looks like a great start too me....trust me keeping the bling blingy is a pain in the but, I love it but for a regularly driven vehicle it's not at all practical. Can't wait to see it when its done 88!! turbo isn't it?

yep its turbo'd i ran the turbo for a grnd total of 3 weeks this year then i poped a head gasket, since i was unmotivated to fix it in the summer i pulled the motor to change the gaskets and decided to do this.....

your bay, and a couple others on here are my motivation, i just wish i had the time, and it wasn't -100000C, to do it all myself, so i am handing it off to a pro to make it look pretty

hey dude, when you tucked oyur main harness under that mid-lip in the engine bay, did you have to extend any wires or anything. just wondering if it was something i could do really quick while the motor was out.

Yep I've done it twice because I didn't like the way things look tucked under the pinch weld.
