Ran the wiring through where the wiring for the doors goes fitted quite nicely
Then just zip tied along the chassis, alll wires soldered heat shrinked taped up, then conduit then all the conduit taped up to water proof. Seriously time consuming
Took me about 2 weeks working after work to complete it staying until 12 some nights
Mainly pushed on as i told my boss oh im only swapping the engine wont tae me long
Driver side
So onto removing the auto pedal box, HUGE PITA hate doing it, also routing all the engine bay fuse box wiring under the dash to the fuse box which i hid under the centre console.
Oh also COMPLETELY off track but hows this for an interesting upgrade. Subaru impreza WRX servo fits onto a Gl perfectly lines up with the pedal spot on, would have to run an impreza Master cylinder but food for thought
Annnd back on track
Engine bay looked awesome all cleaned up all the dirt had clearly protected the paint, so what did i do scotchbrited the whole thing nd wiped it all down with thinners
A little welding here and there
A skim of filler and a lick of paint
Wasnt going for a full smooth bay for a couple of reasons the main one being time my bos was getting close to cutting the car in half, really couldn't get his head around wtf i was doing...I just said it'll be worth it you wait and see
Secondly just abit of a pain and i dont like the idea of filler in the bay i have a VERY light skim over the welds i did but for the original spots you would have to use a fair bit in total and no point going to all this effort and have it crack as it will get tracked anyway so wonbt have a trailer queen life thats for sure
So all thats missing the final coat, now after doing all this white just seemed abit mundane, i wanted something different so had a good look around on forums and searching through paint code books at halfords (damn Halfords actually came in useful! Helped me look busy at aswell
)
I thought midnight purple from a skyline but feck me is that a hard colour to get not to mention expensive, then i had an idea which i cant reveal yet as its not completed. But its far from over. After a little debate and some advice from a few guys on here i settled on a colour
A litre of laquer later *shiny*
Turned out suprisingly well considering we painted it basically in the dark after work
Seriously happy with it, cant thank John the sprayer at work enough for this, it might be the colour of turd but if id done it would have looked like turd aswell
Soo with my engine bay looking much more refreshed, my boss thinking i am actually insane to spend cash painting my engine bay when it was only going to get scratched putting the engine in. My response you have no idea how crazy i am i garuntee you you it wont get a single scratch
£10 on it infact
Him haha done !
He certainly didnt look as smug the next day when he arrived to this
ONe huge roll of bubble wrap and a big roll of masking tape
Now as for the engine.... A nice low mileage D14A1 on bike carbs.....Nahhh that would have been obvious a little bit of borrowing later and ...
And plonk one Z6 in the bay no scrathes £10 paid for the bubble wrap and tape
Thats all for now but there is more to follow, Hope you all like so far
Has gotten me in some jams before :oops:never learn 
So ill finish this off tomorrow as there is alot more to post
