hey guys i really need you to show me pictures of your engine bay. My swap is done and the car will start only if i push the gas and clutch at the same time. Just cranks when i do clutch and brake, so i know i have messed my grounds. I have the one from the valve cover to the chasis correct, at least i think i do but from there the other 4 grounds in the front are off i think its 2 wires connected together for both of them with a ground clip that needs to be put somewhere in the engine bay. Please find them and take a picture, really please do this for me.

not as bad as i thought, just need to use the ultra black high temp rtv sealant and torque down to 7lbs...saved myself some $$ doing it myself, kinda wish i had painted the cover now

How long did it take? Was it a bitch or anything

actually not a bitch at all, if i didnt spend 2 hours stripping the paint off the cover, could have been done in like an hour, i just took my time making sure everything was really clean before spreading on the silicone sealant... im curious how many hours a garage charges to do the job, could have been done in 1!
