S2KI Honda S2000 Forums - My crazy build! Shaving the engine bay

Well I finally decided to go all out. First it was a simple wire tuck and now it evolved into a full shave. I've been going at it since September of last year.

This will document my build. For now enjoy the pictures and I will add more specific details as time goes by.

Pictures 1-9:

Pulling the motor out having already completed a partial wire tuck on the passenger side including EPS module, Fuse Box, and wiring harness.

Starting grinding away paint to prepare for welding. I used a grinder with a 120 grit flap disk. The flap disk is better to use since it prevents any nasting gouging that may be caused by using a hard disk in the hands of the inexperienced (which I was at the beginning)

ABS relocation:

I made a custom bracket to hold the ABS module. This is not a show/trailer queen so keeping it as stock as possible was one of my priorities. I made custom hardlines using 3/16 steel tubing from:

I also cut up some patches of sheet metal to close of the headlight harness access points. I used 18 gauge steel.
