I'll try this "pictures AND text thing" Mike told me about.
Test fit the seats, will get the brackets installed tomorrow and get the drivers seat mounted how I like it. The Racecraft mounts allow for a ton of adjustability. Some won't care for the seats but with a cover they're really comfortable.
Feel free to admire my hacked up arm rest, still irritated that it looks like that but don't have any good solutions at this time.
Also got the MS3 harness into the car. Which was a lesson in patience to say the least.
This car still has every bit of factory padding/carpet/sound deadening etc etc and for whatever reason I really like it that way. Not even going to pull the heater core out.
I cut as small of a hole as I could in the passenger footwell area to run the harness. From there it went under the frame rail between the K member and up and behind the passenger cylinder head. It's all kind of strung out in the picture below but as far as rats nests go I think it still looks fairly nice.
The fun part was when I realized I hadn't passed it through the glovebox like I meant to. So I unplugged it all and took it back from behind the passenger cylinder head, down between the k member and frame rail, around and through a small hole in the footwell. One awkwardly shaped clip at a time. Then through the glove box and down through the small.....you get the idea.
Good times.
I'll be modifying the glovebox guts a bit and mounting the fuse panel/ECU up here where it's accessible but not visible. Battery leads look like they're long enough to make it back to the battery so for a non-fox specific harness it's worked out great so far. Will have to cut out the coil pack plugs from the main harness and move them towards the coils mounted in the fender well. I'll also have to extend the alternator pigtail but I was already prepared for that one.
42" plug wires are a bit excessive as you can see.
Also started laying out the pushlock setup I bought to plumb the gates and BOVs. I'm really green when it comes to the required layout so it'll take some trial and error I suppose. I've got a vacuum block mounted to the cylinder head you can see above, I'm hoping will be a centralized home to nearly all of it.
Tomorrow I'll pull the oil pan and weld the bung in. Need to measure for a driveshaft as well, I've been told that shortening my aluminum shaft might not be the best idea. Need to get to the bottom of that.
