Good way through the firewall?
Title says it all, I'm trying to get some wires from the engine bay to the glove box. I see a few canidates but there nearly full already. Any suggestions?

there are a few existing places...
I ran my battery wire to the rear compartment through an existing hole.....
if you pull the drivers side carpet back, down under the brake/clutch pedal almost at the floor level there is a black stopper... if you pull that stopper out it leads to a void space between the floor pan and the fire wall... NOW... in the engine bay, under the clutch resevoir is about a 2' hol in the sheet metal.... if you shine your drop light in that hole where you pulled the stopper out, you can see the light shining into the void sapce from the engine bay!!!!
Just straighten out a coat hanger, fish it from the inside out (much easer than going down through the engine bay) and tape your wires onto the end and pull it back through!
I would seriously consider going to home depot or lowes or radio shack and buying a rubber grommet to line the hole with though... or your wires may get cut after time..

The hole on the passenger side, where the main engine harness goes through, looks full but isnt. You should be able to fit a good amount of wires through, just CAREFULLY slice/poke a hole through the existing grommet
