winter project... need advice

ok guys, right now i'm starting in on a full teardown/rebuild of my car for the winter. I want some of your advice and opinions, as far as what i should do, what parts you guys think i should use, or want to see me use. i want to keep this thread updated as the car progresses and new parts come in and so on.
anyway, here are some pics of where the car is right now.

as far as the motor goes... we just removed the rats nest last night and part of the engine harness... i'm going to rewrap all of the harnesses in the cabin and engine bay, and want to relocate the battery and pick up a front mount, get an rtek 2.0, and some 720's... just want to get it clean and keep it simple.

so basically what i want from you guys is all the stuff i said in the first post, but also just advice on what you guys would do if you had the interior or engine out, or the things you wish you had done when you had your interior or motor out...
thanks guys, Tony.

yes that would be truly sick, but i'm thinking more along the lines of little things that can be done to make the car nicer over all, but can only be done when the interior or motor is out. its really nice having the interior taken out... lots of room to work and i get the chance to put my interior back in right, not just some rushed hackjob... it wshould be sweet!

after you take out the sound deadening you will have to weld up a couple of spots in the floor so you dont have hole going to the out side, thought you should know. i am in the middle of this right now and i would think about adding carpet back again, just so the noise is a bit dampened. my .02

Damn tony... that was an adventure. we kicked its *** though, thanks to the dry ice trick. I think all you need is: rtec 2.0, wideband, bnr hybrid, 720s all around, front mount, and a damn good job putting all of that interior back together. Oh yeah and now i know where the heater core is! good thread bra
