i removed the ecu and all wiring to the rear lights and fed the loom through into the engine compartment

then into the passenger compartment.

i pulled the drivers seat out, glove box between the seats and the center console, then removed the gear cables and fed them through to the engine compartment.

next up was the wiring loom to the passenger footwell, i unpluged all the connectors and started pulling the tape off the wires, there are 2 thick wires that need to stay.
