Started the project...

[slowyellow]

So I started the project of pulling my engine, and smoothing out the engine bay. Along with having it painted. Here are some befores. BTW, all I want to have when I'm done is windshield wipers, and lights as far as electrical goes, other than the necessities to run the engine (I'm staying EFI). What are the things that I'll have to do to make the wiring work? Any experiences that anyone want's to share would be welcome too, lol.

Yeah, I'd been looking at those. Probably worth the money, lol. Thanks though.

What kind of welder did you use for the panels, and all of the holes?

I have painted a few foxbody engine bays as well as 99-04's. Its not that hard to hide most of the wiring. The big thing is routing the neccesary EFI wires in a clean manner. The MAF wires and lights wires can easily be ran in the fenderwell as well as the starter seloniod. The easiest/cleanest thing Ive come across is pulling the dash and running all the wires from the salt/pepper shakers thru a whole in the center of the firewall. I noticed Brooks was looking for some electrical bulkheads to do the same thing which would be ALOT cleaner then a hole/grommet setup I've seen in the past. Just look back a page or two for a few ideas on the bulkhead setup. As far as removing the wires go to paint the engine bay, its fairly easy to pull most of what cannot be disconnected from the harness back thru the wholes located behind the passenger/drivers firewall.
