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 feel for you Taz with all that spaghetti :lol: 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 I’m 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.
