Wire tucking is going to be a pain. I wouldn't reccomend it (especially for someone who needs their car every day). You have to stretch the harness to make it fit in places it's not meant to go and that means cutting it open, splicing in new wire, and then sealing it all back up. You might be able to find a harness that's already been reworked, or buy a second harness to modify and replace your original, but even then you still need the engine bay to figure out where the hell everything is going to go. You can swap out your radiator and heater hoses for some colored silicone hoses that match your engine bay. You can also buy stainless steel braided fuel and oil lines. As for the battery, I'm working that one out in my own car. Where do you plan on mounting it? I'm going to put it behind the front passenger seat of my Silvia (there's a roll bar, so no back seat). I think I will just need some extra battery cable and a sealed battery box. My plan is to remove the stock negative terminal and lengthen the positive terminal to reach the battery (I think I will just bolt a new section of cable to the stock terminal to keep the fabrication down). Then I will ground it to the frame behind one of the interior panels. I've got a few other things to do before I get to the battery, so I don't know when I'll get this done. It needs to be soon, because I also need to replace my coolant overflow and I want to put in a larger tank where the battery sits right now.
