Hey guys,
So I decided to start tucking my engine bay.
I didn't expect to go as far as I am now, but once I started hiding things, I wanted to hide more & more stuff. I'm not going to the extreme like coomer did, just wanted to clean up the motor a bit.


Engine before I started the tuck, it was neat, but I wanted to venture further.


I started with the passenger side, because its the easiest. wink.gif
I had to remove the fenders, front bumper, and eventually the hood.



I will get better pics tomorrow, my camera ran out of battery.
Here is a blurry cellphone pic of the frame rail tucked.



I'm happy with the results, then the wiring to the alt and O2 sensor started to annoy me. lol
So I jumped in on the drivers side


Here is some of the tuck and the relocated fuse box


I can't believe how time consuming this is. I have the engine harness out of the car now, I will rewire the entire harness so I can completely hide it.

Blurry pic warning, its getting there.




I still have a ton of work to do on it, consider that the almost half way point, still plenty of things to hide and relocate. I have a feeling I'm gonna pull the engine laugh.gif
I will get some better pics tomorrow.

Any suggestions ?

DEF

I will return one day.

blast from the past!!!
good to see you back in the game hommie!!

so, from what i remember of the 2nd gen game, the black with blue stripe is gonna be power signal to the starter?
IIRC the blue plugs on the 2nd gen are either a: TVSV or B: TVIS .
like you said that white wire should be 1 of 2 that go to the alternator, power wires iirc.
i have my old 2nd gen harness that i ripped apart still attached to the cardboard i laid it out on when i stripped all the unused systems outta it, kinda like what you did, just not tucking stuff, i just removed all the things i knew i wasnt gonna use.
if ya think that'll help in any way dude, just pay shipping and ill send it right up to ya.
we gotta get art in here dude, he is the 2nd gen wiring guru at this point, i think he could prolly wire a 2nd gen 3s from the ground up in under an hr he knows that wiring so well..lol
