Which brings us to today…and the bay.
I’ve talked about doing it for a couple years now, but couldn’t bring myself to take the car apart. This year I went for it. I started with the wiring. I chose to do it this way to make sure I don’t forget anything when I go to put it back together and have to drill a hole into my fresh paint:

Taking everything out and getting everything labeled:


Harness pulled into the car:


What the driver’s side of the bay looks like without the junk:


Fuse panel mounted in glovebox:


A couple shots from the past week:




And a quick video my brother made, his first go at videography:

I'll keep updating as I make progress, and parts come in, get polished, powdercoated, all that good stuff:screwy:
