So moving forward after the steering rack rebuild.

Bought these dudes for spacing the hood hinges up away from the body. Normally they go on the bottom of the hood above the top hinge piece but since the FC hood is angled there it's far easier to just space it on the bottom then build a complicated piece that's offset for the hood. Then I just notch the fender for the clearance of the now taller assembly.

Changed my mind on the right side engine bay harness. Although I won't have 14 wires on that side I decided to use this Molex XRC bulkhead connector anyways. I had it left over from another project so instead of wasting money I decided to use it on my own car.

You can find that at the following link:

There's still a couple more things to add to this harness but nothing much. The ignition coil wiring may end up on this side of the car, not sure yet on it's placement.

A little closer view. The pass through deals are for the alternator cable and the starter cable. Seperate for a reason we will get to at some point in the build.

I like details like the clip on this connector. Not technically the correct one but it works well anyways lol.
