I'm only doing doing the tuck on the left side of the engine bay. Right side is going to take too long and I'm trying to get the car ready by the weekend. The engine bay paint is nearly done. Windshield was removed today, and tomorrow the new one is going in. Then after that, I'm going to put the motor back in and hopefully the car will be good to go.

 

Inspirational! Excellent job with the rebuild. Looks like you'll be back on the road in no time. Ain't no one more dedicated than you here.

Good luck.

 

you are crazy Jeff........never seen this done before

 

amazing car and project. Do you have a manual tranny in that Jeff?

 

whats your daily driver??

 

Wow Jeff, verrry nice

 

Ive never done that to my gs, but I have stripped down my del sol to a bare metal shell to do bodywork and then a list of many things including a swap. Good job nonetheless.

 

Too Ballin. You should upload those update pics haha. Its still auto trans and his dd is a v6 altima that sounds like a diesel lol.

 

Like someone already had mentioned, way to take a bad misfortune and turn it into a positive. Good luck with this project.

I did a small wiretuck relocating all the wires that come down the sides of the engine bay and relocating a few other things to hide the wires better, not a full tuck but it cleaned up the engine bay nicely I wish I had filled in some holes when i painted my engine bay But forgot to ask the shop which holes were needed and not needed before the motor was pulled so it was too late.

Look forward to your rebuild..

 

need help???????

 

you should post a walk through on the wire tuck for the rest of us.

 

Cut, extend, splice, tuck, done.

A 'true' wire tuck, involves removing EVERYTHING that isn't a necessity. Most honda/VW guys who do it remove A/C, PS, CC, anything that isn't needed. Pull out the whole harness, take out those sub harnesses that aren't needed because you removed said items, extend EVERY wire in the main harness now so it can be ran though a frame rail or through the fender area, leave no visible wires showing. There are guys who even turn the injector so the wires are on the bottom side lol.

 

jeff hope you didn't forget about me with this big project brotha!

 

hrmmmss i think he is actually done with the painting already, and putting the motor back in

 

Paint is done you saw it lol. Everything is back in and it runs. Just having some lighting issues right now but other than that everything else is working fine so far. Its ballin ha Ill take pics later tonight too lazy right now so I will be jacking his internet playing cod4 haha.
