Ah, just got directed to this thread... figured I'd post two engine bays I worked on from the past few years or so in some friend's former cars... since the cars are sold now it should be ok for them to pop up online now.
S13:Fully shaved engine bay and radiator brace (people seem to neglect that when they shave engine bays nowadays). Main engine bay fuse box is actually under the battery tray area, with a battery with custom terminal posts "poking" through down below. Hmmm... otherwise pretty basic rerouting of wiring to hide as much as possible, but still maintain a semblance of OEM appearance.
S14:This one's a little more extreme... again the whole engine bay and rad brace is shaved, even the side holes in front inner fenders where oem main harness was routed. New stainless hard hydro lines for brake and clutch rerouted through firewall and pops out hidden beneath passenger side footwell. All wiring and cables loomed and rerouted underneath everything. Turbo piping rerouted to run along framerail below inlet pipe. Radiator hoses loomed and big heat shrink wrap on the ends (upper wrap on radiator side was cut off right before this shot, so that's why you can see the hose clamp). Shaved valve cover and coil pack cover plate... and lots of other little bits and pieces, here and there. Kinda happy with the way this one turned out actually; I figure I still learn new tricks from each one, and I'm figuring by the time I get to the one going in my old roadster, nothing but a running block will be visible
