I am hoping to get some wiring sorted on the rattler this week as well - not my favourite job
Mate, you will handle it with ease. Me, well my very good mate is doing all the full wiring in the car for me. His a FIFO like you Becky except he flies
to Mongolia. He was stuck there for almost two years during COVID hence the time it has taken to get the wiring done.

I am a sparky too , but we never play with anything under 1000 Volts - little wires do my head in ..... and all this switching neutrals is just backward

LOL, stop procrastinating and get to work. Yes lots to wire up, electric windows, AC unit, e-level system for the suspension, Dakota digital gauge. The list gets
bigger and bigger as we go.

I feel for you Taz with all that spaghetti
I think I had 3 different harnesses when I did my Ute and did my head in, I got to a certain point then had to call in the expert to finish it off.
Good luck Iβm looking forward to seeing your car finished mate.

I did the same thing I think I lost about 12 months. I got a auto electrician that came to you cost a pretty penny but at least it is done "mostly"

My mate is all over it, his done hot rods and show cars. I am very lucky to have him doing it for me.
Did the final mock up of the centre console. Contemplating adding rear window switches for the electric windows.
