Default 1993 SC400 Build/Mods

I have been on this forum for a while because of my car but never really got involve with it. I'm starting this thread because I broke my car. Deer, Panic, Ditch, Small trees and bushes down the side of my car. Thinking about it I figured it was a good time for some changes to it.

I started because my friend (RaceBread) has been bugging me for years to get rid of my 8.5 feet of intercooler piping. Yea 8.5 feet! It was talked about flipping the cooler like to 240 guys do but really looking into it it looked easier to just v-mount. SOOOOO we did. The last pic I took everything out to paint the welding work. It fit perfectly. we didn't cut the rad support so I still have my factory hood release. Not sure what am going to do about venting the intercooler through the hood.

Just ordered the ED V-Speed 8 pc Wide Body KIt. They were real cool on the phone and the sale went smoothly. we will see how the kit fits and looks on the car. I went widebody for the overfenders in the rear to cover the damage to the upper quarter.

Got the battery relocated into the trunk. Had to rewire the batt starter under hood fuse box area as well as cleaning up some of the alternator wiring. I also fixed an oil leak at the oil cooler. All that's left is to relocate/rewire my horns due to the new vmount setup. Im still wonderingwhat im going to do for my intercooler vent in the hood? Does anyone know of any inserts to put into a hood? I havnt started looking for it but body work is soon approaching!
