Default wire tuck engine bay??

im about to start wire tucking my engine bay and i wanted to get an idea of what you would do with the fues box, ignitor and body harnesses?

i was going to relocate the ignitor next to the ecu under the carpet, put the body harnesses under the fenders and i have no idea where to put the fues box does anyone have any ideas?

is a complete mess right now but you get the idea of why the fues box has to go lol.

The Credit goes to Gazi, Ant & Myself. A lot of work But very very much worth it. It was a very good learn experience for me and I have good vision of where I need to place / relocate all my parts. I have a few bugs to workout on my SCxxx then I can get started.

Man

I've been considering doing an ABS delete, wire tuck and shave for quite some time. Biggest concern I have it that damn fuse box! There is a ton of space behind the front bumper that I've been considering relocating to but am a bit concerned in the event it gets hit.

You guys are motivating me with these pics!

Relocaing the fuse box is not that bad actualy. The same wires will run to the turn sigs ,horn and few other things, But the engine wires and low and high beams must be extended from where you are putting the fuse box.

I have my fuse box in my glove compartment ,but i have few things (cosmetical) to finnish.
