Today i decided to embark on my journey to prep my car for -10 braided line, and a 16x3" setrab Oil Cooler.

STEP 1
cut square hole in passenger foot well area for lines.

STEP 2
Decide whether to run braided lines up the rocker area, or throight the heater tubes....

STEP 3
Decide that running lines down the rocker is easier to access..... cut access holes to go from rocker area to inside footwell like GT cars

Step 4
Cut outside access hole

Step 5
Cut front trunk access holes for lines to run to cooler....

Step 6
Marvel at your ugly openings, and take an artsy fartsy hole to hole shot

Step 7
Drill out 6 spotwelds holding down the spare tire mount, prepare to move it vertically to the firewall to secure a spacesacer like this (STEVE's car)
