JDM ZENKI S14's 1JZ 180sx Build

I sold my rb20 like 3 months ago and bought this 1jz...like an idiot i did this mid season but oh well its coming together quicker than i thought...

srry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Took out the dash and started removing the body harness, we are planning on deleting most of the harness to run the only the necessities..

we finally got it in but i wasnt to comfortable with the way the oil pan was sittin, according to Tech 2 you have to space out the sway bar so you can fit the oil pan. I said **** that and started marking the pan so i can notch it to make it fit:
