STi pedals installed with the dash beam battle beginning (this took about 6 man hours to figure out)

Engine bay with new x-member bolted up cleaned with simple green.

The 2 wiring harnesses next to each other.

Modifying the heater core so that the STi dash beam will fit.

Modifying the dash beam so the heater core will fit ;)

AND... the final result, STi dash test fitted after 30 attempts and it's perfect. Heater core, STi pedals, blower motor, etc. all in with dash beam mostly bolted down we just have a few things to weld and fabricate.
