Some more wide angle shots for yee guys
Did the final installation of the AFCO radiator today, it's now secure on rubber pads and I have some nice rubber washers on it at the top between the rad. bracket and the upper rad. support.
Not much else done, I did track down a stock mx6 airbox and charcoal canister, but I still need the OEM throttle body elbow. By sheer dumb luck the airbox fits perfectly in its OEM spot without interfering with the oil filter and oil pressure sending unit....I thought I was screwed when I first looked at it with the airbox in my hand.
Tomorrow I hope to close up the front apron area with some sheetmetal - i had to cut those areas open to allow the big fat tires to fully turn lock-to-lock without hitting anything even when fully lowered. It was a PITA at the time, but it's paying dividends now. If I get that done, I'll put the flares on and I might have my first look at the full beast (on the outside at least).
In the engine bay I still have to do some wiring gymnastics since the fuse box is now on the right side. I was going to leave the battery in front for now, but it makes me do too much wire tracing and re-routing (starter, alternator, etc). So I'll just put the battery in the trunk from the get-go.
