Forgot I took this on my phone...

The red part below the windshield will be painted as well, ran out of supplies. Still have to do another coat on the bay.

If my harness gets here this week I will start work on that this weekend.

Only the first coat of engine bay paint is shown here. Still a few more to go so you can still see some spots.

After the rain rail pieces are removed and the bolts at each side are removed, get a friend to help you lift it off from the opposite side

From the pics you can see I already removed it. And it took all of 5 minutes. Had no idea it was so easy. Guess the hard part is installation.

Alright so today I got some stuff done. Was super hot so only a few hours worth.

As far as I can tell the interior paint is finished. Lightning is bad so will bring a light tomorrow and touch up any spots I missed.

Engine installed so I can start test fitting the harness and various othe parts.







Engine will be cleaned and painted before it's in for good.

Mounting spot for the MS. It will be insulated when it is actually installed.


Early stages of the harness. This is just the MS to engine stuff part.


Getting an idea of wtf goes where.

Cleaned a bit today since an S10 will be in there for the next 2 weeks as I do some work for a buddy.


Block off plates and the injector harness.


Going to modify the relay/fuse box, and it will be located in the engine compartment.


MOAR wires are appearing
