mrbigtanker Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Engine compartment is coming back together nicely. Will do the brake lines again and trying to get the wiring harness redone as well. Should be a lot better this time around. Plus all new front suspension as well. 5 Quote Link to comment

Thank you I did a lot better this time fixing stuff that I should of addressed before. Brake lines with more practice but it is cleaner. Wiring is all that is needed, I'm doing the ecumasters.com PDM and all new plugs and blah blah blah. I think this engine will do good. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr There is half of the wire harness finished, My little micro squirt does the trick and the ecumasters PDM. Fuse and relays all in one. 5 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Well the watermelon wagon engine bay version 2. I know I know it could of been cleaner, its the best I can do. I changed some things to be cleaner. MAP sensor in cab now Header was installed this time with steering box out as it won't go in with it in. It was scratched up pretty good. Routed both engine and valve cover vents to catch can Pulled all the coil brackets off and cleaned it up by mounting vertical and shorter wires. Of course went back to a little red under the hood All new wire harness Most all nuts and bolts that were not changed out now are Re did the brake lines again, not the best but way better. These items are to just to name a few. 6 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 You're kidding right? "I know I know it could of been cleaner" Your engine bay is fabulous looking and you do great work! I decided not to do a restoration on mine, just clean up and leave it stock - well except for the VG33. 🙂 6 Quote Link to comment

Brother thank you for the compliments, I try my best and although not perfect by a long shot I think if you wrap the package up right and put a good nice bow it will look good. Also the colors this wagon is so something I would of never done with he red and green, b ut it just worked and it seems to draw people to like it as well. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, it runs great and I love the V6, it's a wagon so not moving the battery, eventually I will probably get an Odyssey PC680. Quote Link to comment

Make a box and mount under battery like I did. Joel made the box for his wagon and then made me one. Right under the passenger side back seat. 18 hours ago, mklotz70 said: Cool.
