thats why i'm starting the shave, its not gonna cost me much. I wont have money for a while... my winter beater i think has seen its day, its gonna go belly up here soon. So i'm hopefully getting a 92 4runner!

- Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:02 pm #25730 if you're gonna relocate the hard lines then that's a lot more work. The custom brake lines were a pain. The rest is really just ripping things out and throwing them in the trash, and relocating the battery.

If you remove your heat you will have a lot more room to work with. But it's cold up there....

- Mon Oct 08, 2007 3:46 pm #25732 it's gonna be a tight fit, but it is possible. You can fab your fuse box in your glove box. And the brake proportioning valve, you can relocate below the firewall where it curves back behind your subframe/steering rack. That will help you keep things on the outside of your firewall so you can have room for your heater inside.
Are you keeping your power steering?

- Sat Oct 20, 2007 3:42 am #27002 Well time for a SMALL update, i am working alot of hours, so i can get the toyota, my eg, and christmas peasnts, maybe a house in the spring!...busy boy!

Any way, I am wall on my way with the wiring harness on the motor, i have gotten the engine bay a little more clutter free, i still have brake lines to do, and extend the harness for my headlights and stuff

I also thought about it all week, as to taking my heater core, and blower out...and i decided to! i figure i will olny be driving in the spring summer and a bit of fall, when it does get cold i will buy one of the portable car heaters! This way as Brian(Teal dx) has already shown us, i can run my harness' through the hole already there!

As for brake lines, i am going to put them all down under the heater core hole. and hide the clutch line, i have a bit of work yet!

Here are a few pics!
