couple teaser pics. car should be running next week after 3 long years!!!!

MIKE93SVT · Jun 29, 2012

i haven't been on here much, if at all for the last few weeks. came back home (afghan) and have been thrashing on the car to get it back on the road for this summer.

still have to plumb the brake lines, run the fuel lines, and about 30 other small items. but all the big stuff is done and i'm getting down to a combined list finally. i'll be finishing the rear seat delete panel and covering the aluminum panel. hope to start on the brakes tomorrow

i'll post up a mini build thread once it's done and i get some good pics of it out of the garage. car is caged, mini tubbed, smoothed engine bay, fuel cell, big fuel system, built rear end, full suspension. pretty much the works. just tossed the 302 and 5 speed back in for the summer so i can get the chassis dialed in

it's easy. only extended the alternator wires, starter wire, and the harness for the 02's. other than that, it was plug and play

So basically it's unplug anything in the engine bay past the firewall and flip it to the underdeveloped of the fender aprons?

pretty much. if you follow the headlight harness from the fuse box.... it goes under the upper radiator support and over to the computer harness on the passenger side.

just unplug that connection and follow the headlight harness back to the fuse panel and unplug the abs, headlights, corner markers, fogs, and whatever else. then unplug the remaining connectors between the fuse box to the fire wall and remove it.

then set the fuse box on the floor next to the drivers wheel and plug it back into the firewall. find a suitable mounting point and mount the stock bracket and remount the box. then reroute the harness back towards the passenger fender in a "hidden" manner like i did.

the passenger fender is the computer harness. it's even easier to move into teh fender. only a few connects, and the ccrm. it flips right into the wheel well. do that one first to get your feet wet, and tackle the fuse box after.

it's not very hard, just teadious work. take your time, and remember all the plugs only fit into it's specific partner. none of them are the same, so you can't mess it up

very nice!

Twista · Jun 30, 2012

If i saw that in person and knew nothing about cars. I would ask, "where is tow truck that brought it here?" It looks like a uncomplete engine lol.

Bad ass

MIKE93SVT · Jun 30, 2012

thanks guys.

the panels are from a guy on corral that used to make them. not sure if he does. if you're interested, i can find his screen name in my pm box. they are specifically made for sn95 car. and were great. just trimmed to fit my fender and burned it in
