engine bay wire tuck

[mk3pete]

iv been looking at mine and i must say its looking a bit worse for wear
different coloured wires running all over the joint, dirty hoses etc
im looking for suggestions, experiences, different products, items to buy, mods, components removed
that sort of thing im open to everything
please post pics, rough cost, and where to get if u can :)

All I will say is prepare yourself for more work than you ever thought imaginable. If you want even a few things tucked away neatly, you'll get to ''here'' and ''there'' and want to do just ''this'' and ''that'' etc etc etc:nana:

Don't get me wrong, it looks SICK, but I reckon it's too much work.

mickey cant believe u said too much work:) thought u would be the last one to say that lol. But yeah coming from my job even tidying cables on cash registers for point of sales can be a biatch imagining it from the confines of an engine bay and i dont want to consider time spent lol :)

i do realize it is a huge amount of work but still interested
i mean a little bit here and a little bit there can go a long way:)

[jayjay]

are we talking like "tidy engine bay" tuck, or like "nothing but a long motor and shaved rails" kinda tuck?

first solution is cable ties, second is days of fabrication...

[mk3pete]

we are talking little mods here and there that make the bay look neater thats all nothing extreme
although feel free to post up those sort of things:biggrin:

its amazing what some black tape and some relocation of some hoses can do
sorry dont have a befor pic but it was looking fairly average
