And just to finish strong:

AC lines to/from firewall in place

And since I’ve never really liked installs with the cage that comes with a lot of aftermarket radios but want the option to stream from my phone:

Some more ac lines and power steering starting to go in.

Wasn’t pleased with replacement options so took the time and effort to clean up the original AC condenser. Power steering cooler also got cleaned up. All got several coats of Eastwood radiator specific paint which should help or at at least not interfere with cooling/heat transfer.

Also got the 4awg power run back to the hatch fusebox to more or less complete the hatch wiring.

That's something I wasn't expecting. I have seen the box and don't remember where . That's cool.

The fuse box (center) was a generic fuse/relay box from Amazon. The Alpine box (against rear) is a drop-in 8” powered subwoofer.

You could consider a little Dynamat around the sub?

Most of the hatch floor was done with 80mil Noico soundmat (similar to dynamat extreme).

I was pretty happy with how it came out. Exhausting work but for it to work well it needs to get really formed in.

Ah now I see that in the pic. You're many steps ahead of us as usual.

Two years and the engine bay is barely starting to get put together, I wouldn't say I'm ahead of anyone

Not a massively productive day but:

Test fit a Koyo crossflow radiator in the LS to confirm coolant hoses would work.

Then test fit it in the ITR

Unfortunately found the OEM coolant reservoir wouldn’t work

Also test fit the front under panel, finally some thing that bolts right on without any modifications.
