The EFI wire harness will go through this hole in the fire wall. I need to find a 2.5" grommet for it. This will be mostly hidden by the intake manifold.
Fitting the auto 5 speed required that the tunnel be modified a bit, and some of it happened after paint. The hammering lead to some creases and I didn't like how it looked, even though it will be almost impossible to see after the trans is in place and the undercoating is sprayed. I cut out a creased and wrinkled spot and smoothed things out a little.
The entire center section of the torsion bar crossmember had been removed by the body shop before paint. The left just the sheet metal of the tunnel which I felt was insufficient. At this spot, nothing can be below the sheet metal of the floor due to clearance. I'm going to build a boxed reinforcement above the floor. It won't be noticeble after the center console and carpet are installed.
I started by cutting out a 2" slot in the floor. I'll be using 1/8" plate to replace it and to build the boxed section.
Here's the top and bottom plates for the box. I still need to make the side plates.
I finished the rear axle assembly and the rear brakes and reinstalled all of it.
