some progress... did some cable management.. we'll see how the carpet lays over the sleeving and if i cant get it respectably "stock" then i will take it off before final reassambly.. its good protection for now at least!

i have a questions here... see how i got some of it to shiny metal and the rest is just that smeared black residue from the tar remnants... the stripping discs AND the wire discs both just smear it... would a good degreaser type product get it off and look like shiny metal? im wondering if i need to keep sacrificing my discs or if a degreaser will cure it.
