Default Tidying the loom up in a saph

I'm in the prosess of rebuilding my saph and I would like to hide the wireing loom under the bonnet to make it a bit neater.
Has anyone done this or have any ideas how I can refit my loom

It's looking s bit of a mess now.

Yes I have done this in my 3 door .
I tucked 90% of it underneath the chassis rails instead of on top .

I run all the wires that are infront of the bulkhead panel behind it .
And re- wired and covered with new plugs on the engine loom
I also run it all underneath the inlet instead on top .

Looks so much neater

That looks much better!! Did you have to lengthen it to get it under the chassis rail?
Was going to rewire mine to run under the inlet, but didn't trust my soldering!!

There was only a couple I had to extend the coil , and washer I think.
I started by underneath the master cylinder and fed it under the chassis rail and continued all the way round to the other side pining it along the way.

I also moved the battery to the boot.
So all the power wires dive under the black bulkhead panel into a bmw power distribution block.

My engine looms tidy the bay up no end, I made them so they sit out of the way keeping most of it hidden.
