Its quite difficult with one hand

gonna be just as much fun scrubbing that engine bay!

great progress so far...really looking forward to seeing final results. I wanna do a wiretuck but I don't think I'm anywhere near familiar enough with what wires go where

well that harness i took out. i dont need that for my car to run.
all i need from it is lights, indicators and thermos. So the rest will get tucked away/cut away and those wires extended to run along the chassis most likely

I did a wire tuck on my red na6, it's a lot easier than people anticipate as long as you make a hole to run the wires back thru further down the front guards. Nice progress Charlie! keep at it, even though your slow
