no need to get frisky guys, there are plenty of project cars that don't see track time.

Looks like its coming along, slowly but surely. Planning on paint anytime soon? Any updates?

is there a thread such as sr20det wire harness layout/guide with what goes where and what pligs into what?..i know this is a very noob question but im thinking about redoing my wire harness because its all chopped up and ghetto rigged and i just want to make it look nice and clean and need a back up incase i mess up...not making a new thread just asking a question in mine and yes i searched but the new nice layout makes things difficult

i finally got some rear interior peaces like rear seats and panels and trunk carpet but i dont think im putting the trunk carpet in...well its the s*** blue colored material and plastic panels so i had to fix that...since it was cold as s*** outside that my bones were starting to freeze so i went and set up in my laundry room...opened the window so i dont die from the fumes and got to work...

Image
they look grey but they are blue
Image
you need this for the seats and carpet
Image
you need about 3 coats for it to look like new
Image
blue panels...
Image
and how it looks done...like new again in black
