Yea know the feeling, always seems to be something to do or spend money on.  Only taking the piss, I am sure you will be onto it when you can get a go at it.

Got it made by Jason Ackland @ Stickthis Decals

Dont have a lot of time or luxury of kitchen in garage   to get a hell of a lot done of late.

But wiring is under way. My mate Tony come passed and gave me the heads up for now on what to do.

I reckon a week ends work (maybe two) and its a runner, get on with it!!!

I wish. The wiring will be the most intriguet part. Lots to modify and hide.

Is it really worth hiding it?  I mean its just the LSA whilst being a nice bit of kit is not exactly smooth looking if you know what I mean.  By the looks your not smoothing the bay are you, or have I missed that?  Fwiw, I decided on mine to go with a loom done fairly neatly but not overboard, its always something you can do later if you feel like hiding it all.  The other thing is given its pretty race orientated wouldn’t it be better to have the wiring accessible from a maintenance etc point of view?  Btw just my opinions, its your car of course.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Not smoothing. Just lick of paint to keep it fresh.

The fuses will be tucked up under the guard lining, like Peter did. So it will accessable with minor tweaks.

I thought the same originally, it’s a shot spot what if I need to touch it. But in all honesty I’ve never had to play with the fuses or relays.

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

I have never in my entire life ever personally seen a relay stuff up

 

and even if one does it’s a 20 minute job to pull the gaurd off

 

nearly all who hide wiring in a Holden 5L  put the ingition modual behind a gaurd and they stuff up daily so that’s a much worse idea really

 

personally I thinking keeping under the dash clean is a good idea

Wonder how hard it would be to make the fuse box easy to undo and swing down?  Just wondering about welding on some sort of bracket with captive nuts.  If there ever is an issue reach up under the guard, undo the screws and swing it down so you can mess around with it?  Would just need a little length in the loom which would be pretty easy?  Just thinking out loud.

No chance I was pulling that loom thru to the inside of the car.
