In my NC, all of my engine bay wiring and hoses are hidden... was a massive job but well worth it in my opinion...

Ok.. i run an electrc heater, so heater hoses are gone. Air con went as well, after realising that ive owned the car for 3 years and never used it. PWR custom radator got rid of all the other water hoses, with a PWR filler neck. Batteryis in the boot, fuse box an relays arenow behid govebox, which was a real headache, and the wiring that went along the firewall now lives in he plenumn with hols and grommets running cables to engine etc...

Sounds good mate, certainly a big job, but always gives such a great result.
One question though, all that tidying up of the engine bay and your still running the HO manifold, any particular reason there?
