Update!

Well today I had a spare afternoon... g,f at work :(.... so decided to get the front door cards off and get the looms out to replace them with the ones from my old car so I have electric mirrors! I already have the wiring in the car side of the loom so swap of the looms, job done!

Also emptied my boot as I'll be staring my boot build soon, fibreglass side panels to house the sub on one side and amp on the other with wiring running underneath.... should look sweet!

Then whilst I was at it I got the cam cover off to clean and wrapped some wiring in yellow electrical tape... class much!... and tried to get my ICV off but it's under the inlet so thats coming of and I'll polish it up with the grinder.... sexy!

Pics:

Before


After:


x2 old looms, x2 new looms


Yellow electrical tape ftw!


This needs a clean.... badly!


This is being taken off, 1 so I can get to the ICV and 2. so I can polish it up with the grinder... painted looks cack!


This can't be good??


Will update again later as the looms aren't quite as simple as it looks. :)

I'm almost certain I updated this earlier........ clearly not!

Update smile :)

Last night dad taught me how to solder wires so I got on with my looms, basically the plugs that go to window motor/locking motors are different between ph1 and ph2, the looms going into the doors are ph1 my cars a ph2 so had to chop the ph2 plugs off and solder them on.... got it? lol!

So did the drivers one, took ages, wrapped it in funky yellow leccy tape, got it in the car and everythings working perfectly bar my speaker and tweeter.... maybe because the passenger side isn't connected?

Still need to do the passenger side one as I've hit a problem, the window motor plug is different! DOH!

Anyway pics :)






Decided to chop of the old securing clip things and tie them to the door with..... yep yellow cable ties! smile.gif All looks smart now smile.gif

Then I set about my illuminated grab handle loom. Got it out the garage and all the old protection foamy stuff off and re-wrapped it in leccy tape, not yellow this time I'm afraid and then added 3 more wires as I had to chop it out my last car, easy enough though, all done now! just need to get it in the car now :)






Happy days! However if I see another wire I'll strangle myself in it!
