my new project car (No Start Help?)

hello I recently got a 93 rx7 that is very clean and seems to good to be true... the guy i got it from was in the middle of relocating the battery to the back of the car.. so like a idiot i paid 3k for a car that i was told would run fine when the project was complete, so I had the car towed to my garage and finished the battery relocation and now THE CAR DOES NOTHING WHEN TURNED OVER NOT A SOUND
I am not sure if the wires under the hood are where they should go????
....
under the hood there are 4 wires hooked up to the small fuse box
one is from the battery (blue wire) one is to the big fuse box (also blue)
one is from the harness and has a brass fitting (big black wire) the last one is also from the harness and is two small wires hooked to one silver fitting (black with white stripe small wires)
other then that the ground (black with yellow stripe) and (red wire) attached to the same spot on the block come up to the strut tower area and are bolted down....

the car has power to everything all the gages and interior stuff works (not the sunroof or windows or wipers tho) i have checked all the fuses and have found no problem with any of them... the starter has power and has been checked by auto zone, and passed..
this problem has got me scratching my head but I am sure it will end up being some simple fix and i just have something wired wrong?????

wireing hell!!!!!!

there is something wrong with my 93 FD
i just picked it up as a project and it has given me a hard time
the guy i picked it up from parked it about 9 months ago and started to relocate the battery to the back bin...
when i picked it up i finished hooking the battery up to power and ground , then focused on the small fuse box under the hood where power hooked up to the battery before... i have the power wire from the battery hooded up to one terminal and another coming from the small fuse box to the big fuse box on another terminal.
there is a fat black wire from the harness hooked up to a third terminal and two smaller black wires with a white stripe both hooked up to the forth terminal,
i guess that is correct ?
there are two grounds coming from the block to the strut tower area and are both bolted down....

I tried to start the car but i get nothing not even a sound.... so something is not correct.... I had the starter checked and it passed and i had the battery recharged as well as made sure it all has power....(test lite shows it all has power)
?????????????????????????????????????????

the only other things not working correctly is the sunroof and windows and wipers have no power ?
and i have checked the fuses and they all seem perfect....
there is one clip from the top of the fuse box by the driver kick plate... that i think is missing....
it has a sticker next to it that has FD01 on it and i found another little box with FD01 on it and only one clip is plugged into the bottom of it? not sure if im rite or not???? any one have any ideas?

i have figured out what the problem was ..... the blue clip by the driver headlight that goes into the small fuse box was not pushed in all the way,,,, and as soon at it was pushed back in all the way , the car turned over and fired rite up... the sunroof and windows and wipers ... all of it works now.. just cuz that one lil clip... haha
thank you yamahonkawazuki for trying to help..
