Progress! I am always happy when the dust settles on these kind of projects.

Excited to get a coat of primer on this, even though I'm still far from final coatings.

Prime complete. Gonna hold off from here on the cover until spring time and paint it with other stuff I have to do. Here's the cover in primer. Time to finish the wire work since the braided wire wrap arrived.

I managed to complete the wiring on the top of the motor, the front of the motor and the drivers side. Just have the passenger side rail area to finish so all wire work is done. So far it's got a cleaner look than I thought I could achieve...

Looking good! Should get rid of AC, would declutter under the hood and drop some weight

Thanks. I'd agree with you on the AC removal as I did fully remove on my 1LE, but this car is the boss ladies so the AC has to stay. The work being done on this car is geared toward cosmetic. With the heavy lambo door hinges installed on this car, there is no reason to work on weight reductions. The main goal is to get it looking clean and custom. I am going to re-plumb the large AC line so it isn't so much sticking out by using -an fittings and hoses... should be starting plumbing work soon...

Today I finished the last of the wires since opening up the main harness and moving things around. I had ordered just enough wire loom to finish. There's a few wires that are located in front on passenger side near the headlight that I plan to take the oem wrap off and wrap with the braided loom including the fan wires.

Here's where I'm at currently today...

Looks clean af! Im debating about keeping my fusebox under the hood now and just moving the ecu. Also looking at relocating the power steering fluid reservoir.
