I'll do it in the morning... it is 2am here and I am trying to finish some work :-O

Is your pinch weld the wrong color? Mine is a light grey color, was that normal to have a different color for differnet exterior colors?

Cool... It looks far better, I just thought after going to all the trouble to match the brush and spray styles in the trunk area, you would have it no other way but to get the right colored pinch mold :-P

Nice work. Hey, is that deck fiberglass, wood or something else?

its a composite material made by andersen. very similar to trex except in the way it attaches. it has aluminum cleats and the decking goes down like tongue and groove

not much new to show, i havent had any garage time with all thats going on around here. i did manage to install a street rod piece for the a/c lines. this way i caninstall the motor and not worry about room so much. plus its a clean way to get the a/c lines thru the bulkhead

then i mounted my new euro overiders (thanks esty)

i paid way too much for them but im going to resell the bumper they came with to recoup some of my loot

Don't forget to paint the hood hinge support black. I think they were painted flat black with a brush.

I'm dredding painting mine.

I looked at that pic earlier and thought the exact same thing Harv... originally the whole inner section was painted black too.

A number of cars I have seen recently have not done this.

i blacked out the entire inner section on mine...after installing the gill and trim....all the clutter showing behind it was very distracting....

black'd out, the grill doesn't have to compete with the hinges, horns, etc

2 thumbs up

We are on the same page. I got a black thermo fan, painted all the horns, etc. It is one of those things that is a pet hate of mine witha number of modern and classic cars.

Blunt,

Your idea for placing the distribution block up next to the glovebox rocks! I was going to attach it to the firewall but was afraid of cooking it with my header and this makes it a hell of a lot cleaner.

What cable are you using to run the power from your distribution block to the starter? I just did a temp fit and the e30 starter cable will not reach. I'm using the hole in the firewall for the AC to run power to the starter and everything else will run under the dash and too the fuse box... Almost forgot, are you using self taping sheet metal screws to attach the distribution piece?

Is that your a/c condensor next to the passenger headlight?

thanks casey but it wasnt my idea. i got the idea from chuck in south dakota who i believe got the idea from keith of my2002tii.

at any rate i think it does clean up the engine bay a tad. the e30 starter cable wont fit so im making my own. the main cable is a stock e30 unit and i attached the distribution block to the side panel with nutserts.

no that is my oil cooler. the a/c condensor is in place. its black and is 24 by 12". i had to remove the horn brackets to get it in there so i will have to fabricate something to hang my horns off of
