Adding some pics of the mcr alternator, kill switch, and battery box. Im going to tidy this up a bit better.

I also plan on getting a piece of plywood/mdf and making a trunk cover so I'll have usable space.

I'd cover a write up on this but I feel it's been done so many times, I'd be beating a dead horse.

So during this swap I debated on swapping over my steering column I had converted to electric power steering, mainly because working under the dash is already enough of a pain in the ass, this big motor makes it even worse. But I did it anyways, I figure if worse comes to worse I can just remove the motor that's held in by 2 m6 bolts.

I went out to finish up some stuff on the car over the weekend, looking for leaks I noticed a big puddle of gear oil under my transmission. So with further investigation I noticed it coming from the passenger side axle seal. I just replaced this axle seal, so here I am again pulling the passenger side axle. I got the axle pulled and pulled the seal out. First thing I did was grab the axle seal and put it around the sealing surface of the axle, which apparently I should've done from the start. It did not seal up at all. Luckily I had ordered another axle seal from a different brand SKF and that fit nice and snug.

Finally got everything all put back together and was able to do a little driving. Getting used to this clutch setup is going to take a bit I can already tell.
