On my upcoming project I really want to clean up the engine bay and rewire most of the wiring into the fenders, to make it much cleaner. How do I go about doing that? Did anyone here do that and happen to take pictures? What advice could you give me?

I've spoken with Intertiadrft and he said it shouldn't take more than 1-2 days.

Any advice would be appreciated.

on what wiring? the engine harness or the wiring for the front and all that jazz? If you're talking about the engine harness, then yeah it shouldn't take too long to do. Probably an afternoon or so.

If you're talking about the front of the car wiring, it might help to have another harness to do the work on so you can go at it at your own pace. Depending on what other features like cruise control, ac, etc that you're keeping, adding, it can add to the time your installation will take. Also if you've got other stuff like electric fans and have them run to relays and stuff that aren't in the fuse box, that may be the best time to wire up fuses and relays for additional electronics you may have added along the way.

thats true..

What I meant by harness was really mainly the front chassis harness. I would have wanted to run most of it through the fenders.
