For those of you who are friends with me on FB know
I began rewiring my car last weekend.
This wasn't the short quick process I thought it would be.
However, I blame my new found pursuit of perfection on this and I'm not really
upset that it took this long. Tomorrow the dash will finally go back in.
Here's a picture book of fun!
This is in the beginning when I first pulled the full chassis wiring:
Then mocking it all back up to see what I need,
what I don't, and where things can be made shorter:
Unweaving the first wave of bonus wires:
About 5' of shortening:
Then I took things back to my place once the shop closed:
Just a few of the wires I pulled:
Once things were fully removed,
I began to see how I wanted things ran:
Then I e-taped it all up:
S13 owners, can you believe this is all you need for the
engine bay chassis harness?
Approximately 3 relays and 5 fuses.
I left a LOT of length in case things change in the future.
This is how it was all mocked up without everything in
it's new home.
I actually couldn't help but drive it like this too,
so check it out:
I thought this would be a good time to also redo the dashboard.
(I have never done any of this in my whole life)
(break time~went to the track, then to dinner, then to pool hall)
Are you supposed to prime these things?
Oh well, I did.
Finally, some flat black before 4am when I was exhausted!
Then this morning I was up and at it again
with gloss black and rainbow flakes!
Some of the molding/paint turned out better than other parts of it,
but overall I think it was a pretty successful adventure!
By the way, I retained power windows and door locks.
DON'T JUDGE ME!
Should have the installed pic up tomorrow! (=
