I think this is what he ment.

For the power wire, here’s what I did, first, run through the boot w/ most of the interior wires:



Now run it up through the metal in the top of the brake:



Then through the same hole on the clutch:



Just be careful running it through there, the metal is rounded, but you should still take care when running it.

As you’ll notice in this picture, I ran the wire under the metal braces in the bottom of the car. Also, at the front of the car, just run it down behind the stock wires that go into the door:



Remember that bundle of wires behind the kicks from earlier. Here's where you use them:



You'll want to pull them out of their clips and pull the rubber boot out of the door. Notice in the pic above the wires are just dangling out of the door jamb, this is the easiest way to run them.

Now, that big hole there, slide your wire through it and out the car. The rubber boot you've just removed has slits in it. Slide your wire in there and push it through until it comes out inside the door. Normally you can use a coat hanger but I used the 4 strand 12 awg from Knukonceptz...huge stuff. Each door took me about 1/2 hour to run wire in. Once you've got enough wire through and inside the door panel, just pop the boot back into it's hole. You might need a screwdriver to get the pressure all the way around it.

Here's proof that I used the boot with that wire without hurting it:



It's a pain, but worth it, no drilling necessary. And if I can fit that wire through there, anything will fit.

Its up above the steering column. More than enough room to run 0ga through. Then run it down the kick panel and along the door sill under the plastci.
