Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Been having a bit going on lately. Been running wires galore. 1st it's been figuring out the engine harness, all sensors have been found and marked. 2nd, got my coil, igniter, map sensor and HID ballasts mounted. Haven't taken pics of those, so those will go up in a couple days.

Got a header for the AE86 to modify and fit to the Cortina. Realized that w/o modifying it, the pipes foul the steering box, the body and pretty much everything right of the engine. So, we decided to take out about 1 1/4" off the runners closest to the flange. Here it's measured out, the zip ties will guide us..

Pipes, cut, had to cut a bunch of notches on #4 so we could swing the pipe back into the flange holes. After this, we mounted the header back onto the car, realized, there's still a whole lot of modifying to be made. Andy suggested using a FWD stock AE111 or AE101 header and modifying it to RWD. So I'm now searching for another header, maybe that may work better than this one, if not, we'll be going back to this.
Yanked the motor, hopefully for the last time. Making my engine harness off the car at the moment, and will have everything cleaned up before the engine goes back in. Also, getting the gearbox prepped with new throwout bearing etc. to mount back onto the motor and she'll all go back as one.
Also got my chassis harness from EZ Wiring Harness. Looks like I'll be running wires over the next few days for all the lights etc. Oh, also got a 15 gal Aluminum fuel cell from JEGS. Will have to mod that a bit so it'll fit in nice and snug. Class starts up next week again, so after the wiring, the Cortina will be going back to school for block sanding, final priming, then wet sanding, and hopefully paint.

It's starting to get exciting!
