As the title states, i want to clean up the rats nest that is my engine bay. I started with a mild wire tuck today and it looks tons better but the shit on the firewall is whats bugging me. Plus all of the damn vaccum lines are hideous. What can I remove to help clean up this mess? |

You should try and check out turbo dan-o's car. He has done a lot to clean up his engine compartment. You might have to pm him for suggestions. I think he went to geopaloza this weekend. |

Do you have a factory service manual? Check in the repair guide section. Could possibly be a manual you can down load and read as time permits |

Battery relocation to the trunk is one of the larger things, and it's not too difficult to do. |

That is my plan for this weekend. I actually was able to pick up some 2 gauge red cable out of a BMW for $3.50 at the local PNP. I'm getting more tomorrow for my Camaro. |

So if anybody wants to do a relocate on the cheap, look for any 2000+ BMW in the yards. I got 11'8" of straight red cable WITH ends on the dirt cheap. More than enough for any Geo. |

That's good to know about the wire, I have some 00 wire but I'm saving it for another project. I'll have to check out the BMW's next time I'm at the salvage yard. |
