Default MKIVS374's build thread
Well decided today to install my intake manifold and TMS fuel system. Well I already installed the dual walbro pumps and got the intake mani dry fitted. Tomorrow I will be re running the wires for the fuse box into the trunk no room for it in the bay. I will also be relocating the PS res to the rear of the engine compartment. I am just trying to get everything mocked up before the car goes to paint in Nov. Here are a few pics real fast.

Car looks good, but I see one issue that may hurt in the long run...rust. Hate to point that out cause the car does look really nice, but I would get some converter and some paint and get to work on that before it goes to paint.

From here out I will be doing all the harness myself yes. The harness was setup for the car already so I will be extending it in all appropriate ways and then I plan to shrinkwrap it to make it all pretty.

Follow my thread for some progress on a SC 400.. a lot more work but well worth so far. It will pay off just finding all the parts for the right price. Good luck on your mods! Keep us posted!
