        Spent basically all day doing crap and got a lot accomplished.
        Mounted the fog light bracket(s). There is nothing to mount the intercooler to since it is all chopped up from the previous owner(i guess).



        I fabbed up a plate to weld across but realized that I need to get the bumper cover back before I go making it solid. So it sits until next week sometime.


        I never liked how my options on how I could mount the ecu to the chassis. I made my own mount from a 3rd gen protege ecu plate. It keeps the ecu suspended so I will never have to worry about it becoming wet from a leaky heater core or window.
        I need to pull it back out and sand blast off that rust but it should be fine for now.


        I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

            That's an innovative way of mounting the MS. I like it. I second the question on how much it affects leg room in there. From the looks of it, it should be minimal.

              The panel on the right fits perfectly. I have not done anything about the left panel yet. The leg room is a little smaller but I don't care, 1) because I don't sit on that side and 2) the ECU is in a awesomesauce location.

              I went ahead and took out the ecu tray again and hit it with the wire wheel. I didn't like the thought of the rust possibly spreading to the chassis being so close. Treated it with a healthy layer of enamel.
