well i have had my coupe for about 2 months now and i have done a shit load of pre work for the swap. i spent about 40 hours or so doing my wire tuck. and i mean i tucked the crap out of it. i was able to undo all of th e factory harnesses and split everyhting up according to ware i was going to relocate things. i even relocated my brake lines. since i am not going to have a/c i decided to take apart the entire a/c heater/blower assembly. i removed that big radiator looking thing inside and thats ware my control vavles( the one that go in the vaccuum control box under the hood), proportion valve and charcoal canister are going. fuse box is being mounted down ware i factory airbox would go. my fuel injection resistor, msd, and other misc. item are being mounted ware the windsheild wiper fluid resivior would go. i have since pulled the engine back out so i can start weld up every single whole. here is a few pics so far.

thanks. you should see the inside right now. i still need to take some pics befor i get to far along. i am shaving everythong visible ware the back seat goes. i am not having any back seats but i want it to look super clean. i am having the car painted on a rotisserie. they do the inside, out side, and reapply the rubber undercoat to the bottom. i'll get pics sometime tomorrow.

with the engine and everything, so far i have spent about $3000. mostly on parts and small things needed to get everything right. i still need to find a coupe at the j/y so i can get all gray interior. but that wont be need for a while. the engine and paint are far more important. i will get some pics up tonight,

Nice project, but get some much bigger pics please :)
I am doing something very very similar.
You might want to put the fusebox someplace else with easier access, or is that a sacrifice your willing to make?

i was going to relocate the fuse boz some ware under the dash or even into the trunk with battery but once i removed all the tape from all of the harneses, i relized that i could mount it there with out having to cut a single wire, or make any extensions. the way i have it set up all you will have to do is turn the wheel hard left, remove a few clips and pull down the inner fender liner. the fuse box sit perfectly vertical when mounted to wareonce you do thos few steps you are looking directly at the fuse box face. it really quite practical considering the fact that i want it hidden. i will try and get some new pics. i have been taking them with my cell phone so they are not the best.
