ebay of all places- it was like 1/2 the price of all the online vendors I found.

Wow, that is really cheep for 25'! I was thinking it would be in the double digits at least. How much did you get?

I ordered 25' of 1/8", 25' of 3/8", and 25' of 1/2". Probably more than I'll need, but I didn't want to run out.

Did more work today.

Slowly weeding out the unnecessary wiring in the main harness:


Here's a closeup shot of all the wiring going through the grommet in the firewall.


And the new grommet in the pass. side firewall which will hold the wiper motor harness, as well as the wiring for the pass. side lights.


And the completed wiper motor harness- I used the hole in the firewall for the washer fluid nozzle for this new harness to pass through.


I will be moving the vacuum block and the 2 vacuum components for the Apexi AVCR to the shelf behind the firewall (which will end up being covered). I'm going to wait to mount them until I'm sure this is where they will end up.

I like, that shelf makes for a good place to hide unsightly things. Are you goin all in (tucking brake lines)?

You bet! I have everything I need already, just waiting to finish the wiring first.

Wow! Just finished reading the thread. Car looks great!

Good choice on the DD.

Also, what Volvo are the valve springs from?

it's been so long I don't really remember to be honest- there are some threads here about them though.

Finished a few more connector harnesses running to the motor today, but I ran out of techflex :(. Sorry I didn't take any pics, they are coming out great though!

Took a break from the wiring and started on my brake line tuck today. It's coming along fantastic. I got the clutch line completed, however I think I am going to redo it as I had a better idea. I also mounted the prop valve inside the car and ran 2 of the 3 lines from the master cylinder inside the cabin (haven't mounted them to the prop valve just yet)

Pics or it didn't happen! I am going to put all of my lines in the cowl so it will be easy to work on them if a reason should ever arise, easy to adjust the proportioning, and they will be out of sight with a cover.

I forgot to upload the pics of the brake tuck work, but this just arrived in the mail:



My first batch of AN fittings!

Finished a couple more connector harnesses, installed new alpine type R speakers in the doors, and also hacked up my DDM works gauge/radio panel so my head unit (also alpine) could fit- it was a little too big, nothing a cutoff wheel couldn't handle.

I just realized that I never posted these pictures from the other weekend. Here is the start of my brake line tuck. The middle line isn't connected to anything in the cabin, hence why it looks out of alignment with the others, plus I haven't done any final tweaking either. I also wrapped each line in techflex as well. The bay will be getting a respray once things warm up, don't worry .

Looks good, how are you planning on doing the brake booster line?

Nothing fancy, just the basic stuff:

I haven't decided yet to be honest, depends on where I end up locating the vacuum block.

I have finished about 99% of the wiring- all that's left is hooking up the gauges on the A pillar, which I have to wait until the dash is in to do. I finished the brake and clutch line tuck, and mounted the Apexi avcr modules and the vacuum block in the parcel shelf. I haven't been taking pictures, as I still don't have a camera- however I did finally order a new one, so I'm hoping it arrives soon.
