Re: The "In over my head" build thread

9/23/19 - Insert quippy headline here

Made more good progress Sunday. Trying to get the under dash stuff buttoned up so worked on getting the wiper sprayer nozzle hoses through the firewall plug and pressed onto the washer pump. This was way harder than it need to be - ended up popping the grommet out of the firewall while pulling on those hoses and it was a PITA to get back in. As always lube is your friend and some vaseline really helped...slide...the hose into...the hole....

With that out of the way I got the dynaliner foam finalized in the rest of the footwell/under seat area then I got a little ahead of myself and threw the carpet in place

ACC carpet fits well out of the box - probably should have left it warm up in the sun but I'm impatient. It massage into place pretty well and i think will only require minor trimming where it meets the rear corner by the door. Should be covered up by the sill plates anyways.

Then I removed the cowl to install the nozzles and connect the hoses then put on the wiper transmission arms to the wiper motor, and got the firewall wiring gutter in place.
