This is firewall before we started. Not very nice. Reminds me of my sister's closet.





Firewall with the panel templates made





Sheet metal panels made but need to be painted and mounted

Rerouted the wires and installed them in wire looms just like the picture says




Now we have a smooth firewall!






The engine bay is ready and now on to the tranny swap

Sweet! The next engine swap, I too would like to have engine bay cleaned up a bit. You're providing an excellent example.

Looks very good. I can appreciate all the work cleaning up the firewall takes. Here is stage 2 of my firewall cleaning:

This winter I will be doing more firewall upgrades as I upgrade to the G6 6 speed along with several other engine mods.

Uh oh, looks like the intake is leaking at the front




Uh oh, distributor trouble. The distributor rotor button needs to be replaced. Now I understand my loss of power.








Uh oh, the distributor cap needs replacing too!!!





Nasty!!





The top of the engine all looks good

I looked for the thread on Fieros in the Fall and couldn't find it. So these are some I took today. It is the first set since all the "current" work.

A look at the G6 F40. Not an expensive gearbox but newer technology the original 5 speed Getrag. I could pull stumps with first gear. I don't have a good shot of the Quaiffe LSD (which was 4 times the cost of the tranny) but it was a direct fit. We sent it out to a tranny pro to make sure it would be right
