Josh will put pics up one of these days. I'm going out of town Saturday so I can't make a trip out there during assembly. Can't beat making an extra 1k for going out of town on an all expense paid trip. Gotta love it.

Figured I would post some pictures up since Adam has not. Been getting the car together, just waiting on a few bit's and pieces to finish it.

is that a distribution block for a battery mounted in the trunk that's laying on the UICP? I was wondering why nobody did that for a trunk mounted battery, I always hated seeing people just wrap the connection in electrical tape and have it lay on the tranny

You would be correct.

Got the Valve cover back from the Powdercoater today, Getting closer. Sent the Manifold back to ETS so they could make us a Downpipe for it.

As soon as we get the Manifold back with the downpipe the car will be ready to rock and roll.



Also everything Minus the COP and Crank sensor and front o2 are wired up as I did my own Mini wire tuck on it. I like the way it turned out and I am sure Adam will be happy with the results as well.

is the wiring on the right of the valve cover all hooked up? cam sensors and water temp sensors? It looks like they were tucked underneath and run next to the upper hose connection? I was thinking about doing this before I got my car together. It seems everything has enough slack to just tuck under and not stick out so much... is heat a problem being closer to the block?

Yes, everything is connected on that side and tucked. Heat will not be an issue in that location.
