wow nice progress child i remember checking your old build thread a couple years ago and that was dope can't wait to see where your going with this one 
I unloomed the harness and ran it behind the fenders like most tucks. For the wiper motor, I decided to de pin the large clip, run the wires through the same place as the headlight harness and then fish it back through the whole thats in the cowl. The big plug is now behind the dash.
It sticks out a bit but not much further than stock, maybe half an inch. When sitting in a bucket seat, my arms would be almost straight out to grab the wheel. I would lean forward to make turns, now I can stay planted when cornering and turn comfortably.Seems like the steering wheel sticks out really far but it looks good nonetheless. The tucking looks clean as well.
Goods good man, where did you put the windshield wiper fluid bottle/tank?
Coming along!
in the trash can
I never use those...i just hate the ugly "car eyebrows" it leaves on your windshield when you clean using the squirters^ I agree only time I've ever used them is when nasty water gets splashed on my windshield w/ oil and s**t..damn Florida rain.
I use it occasionally but my car is never clean anyways so it doesnt matter much

yea the florida rain does suck!
I'll have to drop by and see whats going on with the squad....makes me miss my coupe though haha.
Nothing special going really....same old stuff, cleaning, hiding this, removing that type of crap. Think im going to knock out some small things like a lip, grill, and shift knob and also start getting some wheels. Probably will snag the same set of wheels and rubber i last had.
passenger side headlight harness tucked
misc. brackets and bolt that aren't actually holding things removed.
duuuuuuuuuuuude, you cleaned that bay up REAL good!
I want a fresh set of something baller just to say I have some, but I just dont know what I want. Thought about the Work cr01 wheels but I'm not feeling em completely. I want something that I dont see all the time that will also give a flush offset. A lot of rare jdm wheels are skinny and pretty high offset.
agreed. Helps me to pass the time while i save upThanksduuuuuuuuuuuude, you cleaned that bay up REAL good!
Oh, yeah i did cut the holes to run the headlight harness through. You have to cut a second hole where the circular hole is already at so that you have room to connect the clips together. Doing it this way keeps you from cutting/extending/splicing any of the harness.
