Monday morning i was driving to work noticing my headlights were aimed just a little low for my liking. after a long day at work i thought this wont tale long :lol:, i started taking parts here and there off. grille, bumper lights and before you know it this happened.

I was really inspired by CHILD's EK thread. i always wanted to start this every time i tried to i got overwhelmed, so i jumped into it!

Before






Left harness tucked lost motivation Tuesday and stopped after only about an hour of fiddling around.






While i was at it i decided to reroute my Sub power wire.







Noticed i needed to remove the dash :cry:







Picked back up today. My battery tray was horribly rusted and had acid all over it from the previous battery, i had a buddy at work sand blast it and then repainted it :D.



Tada!









Im going to simple green the bay tomorrow and the battery tray is still drying.

Yeah everything went well i only had to extend four wires, i taped and wrapped all wired. moved some grounds and rearranged the harness. really not as hard as i thought it would be, but im glad its over. it took a little bit of time because this is the first tuk I've ever done.

Looks really good :thumbs up. Having no P/S, A/C, and cruise control is already a huge start to a good tuck too.

I want to do this with my car this spring. All I want to do is relocate the fuse box / battery and pull A/C. At that point all I have to do is start moving wires. I've already done minor things like flipped the fuel injectors, etc.

Thanks, yeah the A/C was gone a long time ago ripped everything out. it was nice not having to fight with all that too.

Good start. Why'd you pull the dash out?? I never pulled mine out and I basically did a full tuck

I pulled the dash because i ran the left side harness through the firewall and behind the fan box it was a little hard to get to. and it made everything a lot easier on me.

On another note after a long day at work and going to the gym after that i lost all motivation to clean my bay. Maybe this weekend but i have coils, camber kits and front end bushings to install we'll see!

In this photo you can see it runs up under the break reservoir through the hole where the wiper motor wires were. i also put the break fluid level wires through there.

Yeah i noticed the wiper wires and had to take that black cover off to see what i could do. found out i could move the main engine harness as well, so i went for it!
