CRX build part 1 c...aka I hate wire

Ok, well I am doing this in very small increments as I have time. Running the power was easy, the ground because it came on smaller spools ws all twisted and didn't want to lay flat. The solution I came up with was to use zip ties to attatch power and grounds together so that the power would hold the grounds in a straight line and down flat. In the end it turned out really well, now I just have to try to reassemble the back panels because they are having a hard time fitting back down on topof all of that wire lol. I am sure I will get it done though but it may take another week. Here are a couple more pics of the wire and the carpet down back in place.

nice heater.....

take of the seat belt's by taking out the bottom bolt, it will be much easier for yout work inside the car if you can fully fold the carpet out of the way

I tried taking the seatbelt bolt out but all that would happen is the seatbelt attatchment would twist and twist the carpet all up so I gave up and decided to just fold it around. Its ok though because the wire running is almost done so its not that critical to get it out of the way anymore

with that much power and ground wire I'll assume this is gonna be a spl build but how many batteries and or alternators are gonna be in this engine compartment?

could you not avoid running that much wire by placing the battery in the trunk? then run a single wire up to the engine compartment
