Looks awesome great detail. I need to do mine in the next couple weeks when I swap engines. I really like the work you did on the VR bracket. You should make some more, heck I'd buy one!

thanks for the info on the VR harness..
 
got some more work done. finished up most of the engine bay wiring. gotta mount the high & low beam relays under the battery tray and wire up turn signals & headlights.

Heres some pics of how I mounted the E-Z wire fuse box, right in the factory location. took me a while on how i was gonna do it, but used some 1/8" thick sheet metal. it's pretty solid. dunno where else I coulda put it.

For the grounds I used an 8 GA wire, from V/R to back of drivers side head, wiper motor to passenger side head, and from negative post to the head and radiator support.

it was tricky. it wasn't just match the colors up and go. this E-X wire 12 circuit mini fuse was VERY bare bones basic. lol it made more work for me. much more. next time i will use an american auto wire kit.
 
here's how i mounted my relays for the head lights. under the battery tray.

pop riveted to tray:

pay no attention to my extra long screws. those spacers only take up the extra thread. so ill grab a shorter screw next time im at ACE.

Looking real nice.. Good attention to detail. I like your headlight relay setup, stealthy and clean. Are you planning on a factory type wrap on the firewall wiring once it's all done?

im thinking of some sort of wrap, im not sure. maybe that 3M super 88 electrical tape, its 1.5" wide...or that cloth wrap. im open to suggestions...

i dont really like that plastic convoluted tubing...
 
okay I got my coolant recovery tank installed, and plumbed it all in with -6 aluminum hard line and -AN fittings. These were kind of difficult to bend and get right but I think I got it.
