Thanks mate.

I ran the wiring through the RH inner guard for the headlights and hornm thermo's etc. The other wiring i ran up through the plenum area between the firewall and windscreen. As for washer bottle...what washer bottle?? :p

Just the sound of a pre Ecotec V6 drives me nuts sound like someone is shaking a can full of nuts and bolts!
Threads not about my preferences so I'll leave it there! Lol

if you wanna hide washer bottle get one out of a vr vs and hide it in gaurd its the right shape or make one out of a coke bottle with your old motor. over flow you can get a custom long tube shape one and run it down beside the radiator on the drivers side. then you will have nice clean strut towers:)

Rarespares are remaking Torrie overflows, which i believe fit aswell, and can be hidden up in the plenum area
