FOSTA Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Ok so I thought I'd have ago at doing a wire tuck myself and it was a right pain to do but I took my time and spent the last month doing alittle bit at a time. I've deleated the abs system and charchole canister and put the battery in the boot along with the fuse box (used the turtleshead guide for fuse box which is spot on ) For the deleting abs system I bought a non abs master cylinder, it came quite dirty so hodge give me a few tips on cleaning it. Cheers mate I then decided to go with hard lines for a more factory look, once all fitted I ran into problems with the old jap spec calipers so ended up buying a big brake kit. Once the brakes where sorted a took out the charchole caniste, then started to cut out the fuse box Then once free I took the fusebox to a local Electricion who sized up the wires correctly. Then it was just a case of hours and hours of soldering! I also had to extend the harness for the A/C and the 2 plugs that sat under the fuse box. But I've just finished it and took her out for a test drive and all seems fine Some pics: Edited July 19, 2012 by FOSTA (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Problems BEFORE: AFTER: It still needs a general tidy up and the engine bay could do with a repaint but it's getting there! I also have these still to fit: So hopefully they will make it look abit tidyer. Sorry for any spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
