Right made a start...bit hanging from nights...Clive wont mind me saying this yep it's a mess...made my head hurt...followed some wires and found some interesting things...a set of airhorns lol!...pretty much been poking and prodding everywhere and deconstructing car and now gonna spend the evening contemplating my next move...which I think is start again...theres more to come out than stay so looks easier to remove the lot and rewire the basics to run the car. Very much like the loom in my westy it just get confusing with all the adds on to the car that I need to reverse engineer.
May sound a bit negative but that's just fallout of night shift haha and everything in there fine I just didn't do it ...so much like somebody else working on the electrics of my Westfield...so few piccys lol...it'll be fine good sleep and crack on tomoz.

Damn, I really feel sorry for you.

I have allways hated electrical work cause I dont know much about them. But looking at your work and that amount of wiring, no wonder you cant sleep. But really, you are doing

Now, you can go for a spin around town. Hmm, I feel like that area near you is inviting you. You know, that area where we went for a spin with your FD. Open roads, lots of roundabouts

I hate going into other people s wiring work, always quicker to start again so you donâ€™t waste time working out bodges

Have we got current draw info on them big coils (aems) at present 2 feeds to them 1 from engine power and 1 from additional feed? Maybe engine feed cut further up that arm loom?
