I wish I had thought about all of the extra wiring before i started.

Planning ahead would have been best :(

I hear that the price of solder and heat shrink is on the rise due to high demand in the Southport area.

Jeez how much do you like spaghetti. It'll be an amazing enhancement, these mods really make the car more whole but god knows I can feel a migraine coming on just looking at that mass of wiring.

Richard

thanks

I tested everything as sub assemblies

it looks worse than it is.

the way to beat it is to treat and view each system as seperate.

its only when they all join uo it looks bad

also here on the pics, its not loom wrapped or tied back and everything is all on the bench, a lot of wires are in the bay and to rear of car so it looks worse, but yes theres a ton of wires behind dash

 

ive tested each systm

im very proud of the master warnign module

and the auto sense rain wipers

and especially the wash wipe system which i can programme

 

 

also the mp3 system runs very nicely

each system has its own sub loom and fuse

its nto that bad really

im the same as you though as i cant draw, paint or sketch and when i see your stuff my mind just blocks and thinks....how the hell do you do it?

to draw those pictures like that.... amazing

 

guess we all have our gifts Rich

 

when i booted it all up and when you combine the systems and they all start working with each other its very rewarding.

 

ive built systems that i need for BIG motorway miles and continental cruising

this cars going to be bangin on some miles, swampy retires this year for a break and ruby takes over

 

ive been driving around and these systems are what i want to make my motorway driving better

 

ALSO you cant tell they are there ! ALL STILL LOOKS STOCK

Cool, I've been thinking about doing that at some point. Is there a ferry from mainland Europe or is it a case of going via Sicily (another favourite place of mine!)?
