EdwardBs Mk4 #8674 20th Anniversary Build

[edwardb]

Of all of the tasks required to complete the car, wiring is the part I look forward to the least. It looks like a tremendous amount of work.

Wiring is routinely cited as the most difficult part of the build by many builders. Take it a step at a time. There are options for outside help if you really want it.

I looked through the tread and couldn't find it. What part number oil pan did you use?

I used the Moroso 20570 with Moroso 24570 pickup. Remove the stock pan and pickup, bolt these on with the stock bolts and leave the stock gasket and windage tray in place. Pretty easy. I believe Canton also has one, but don't know any details.

For my own project, I have no intention of using the plastic 5.0 cover that sits on top of the engine. I like the exposed look better. How much clearance do you have between the top of the engine and the bottom of the hood?

I hear you. Without the cover a lot of hoses and wires are left exposed. So that's kind of a trade-off. I'm customizing mine a bit, it's going to look slightly different than stock. Just saw it in process yesterday at the paint shop. I'm also dressing things up a bit with shiny coil covers vs. the plain plastic ones. Obviously your choice though.
