Arghhhhhhh wires, wires everywhere!!
Arghhhhhhh wires, wires everywhere!!
Yes the time has come for me to start the horrid task of the wiring loom.
First of all i started with a complete 827 loom, from ebay so to make life more fun i had to guess/work out what each connector was for.
Next i spread it out to the rough shape of the car, to help work out where everything went.
Decided to remove all the tape/trunking to help get a better idea of whats going on
Now this is just sillyness
Time to get the cutters out
I feel you pain
we did a bit of that 2 weeks ago!! Took the engine loom to bits too as some bits we're re-routing, found this stuff for heat insulating the wires.

I remember doing exactly that with a Cortina loom. Strangely I actually enjoyed doing the electrics.....does that make me weird
