My electrical system was so messed up I just ripped all out and started over. new wires, new connectors. All soldered and crimped.
also added relays for headlights and a set of halogen backup lights under the bumper.
After measuring, we strung all the wires across the corner and taped them together to form a new harness.
Lots more details on my site, linked below. _________________ Richard's Cars - NEW **

May I offer my thanks for your pdf showing how to repair and polish aluminium and stainless trims. On my Amazon the side trims and screen surrounds need replacing and I have been collecting replacements, but none of them are in perfect condition. I shall be following your guide to bring them up to the standard you have achieved on your car. _________________ Brian

Oh yes, a lot of fun to drive. What I have left is details. I'm going to pull the speedometer and lean it up with some graphite. It was showing 70 kph the other day and the car videoing me was going 120. _________________ Richard's Cars - NEW **
