Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

That stuff you used sounds way better than normal paint for a daily driver or something that will see some abuse. The way if it gets a scratch all you have to do is touch it up and it will blend it by itself sounds super nice. Painted engine bays look nice when freshly done but if scratch/dirty they look worse than this paint will.

Looks nice dude!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

worked on the car put some of the stuff back in the engine bay. Cleaned the front cusco zero r2 coilovers and oiled the crap out of the camber plates. Use some of the fuel line holders that I brought home for the return line and the fuel filter. Also put the ce9a data plate in the car. I had the cd9a one from the evo 1 front clip. Got the hid boxs hidden and the hella super tones back on.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Got the new battery box made last night at work. It will hold a yellow top. The box it self is 304 1/2 hard s.s.
It will be going inbetween the frame rail and 1/4 panel on the right side of the trunk. It will be sunk in to floor and bolted in flush so the trunk will not loose any space

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I think that wiring is gunna look really clean!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Thanks Brandon. The engine bay harness was not as bad as I thought it would be. There is so little wires in the evo harness over a Dsm it is crazy.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Are you cleaning up the engine or tranny at all?

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

The block and head in it are just for doing the engine harness it is not the 2.4. It is just one of the few blocks and heads I have laying around. I will be cleaning the tranny up after I get the harness done and pull it all back out.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Started on the engine harness. Took out the 2 plugs that are not needed. Also moved the wiring for the mas and the plug for the fuse box to the in side of the car.

Marked and cut the harness in 1/2 to shorten it all up.
