Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Well, since I haven't ordered any of the little shit I need I figured I might as well get started on the shittiest part of the project. The harness. I really kicked around the idea of getting this but the cost would push back the project into at least fall/winter for completion. I can always do that at a later date. So I'm going to make due with what I have, which isn't too bad considering the age of everything.

Here's the oil pressure/alternator section. All chewed up, needs some new wires.




Here is what I thought was some other hack job, but it seems as if it's factory. the connection seems strong so I'll just throw some better shielding on it and seal it back up.






CAS:



2g MAF solder job. All of it is buried in electrical tape. I'll have Matt D. re-solder and heat shrink it.


And then I labeled everything. Took me a while to figure it all out since it's been so long, but I found a few very helpful threads on tuners supplemented by the fsm. I will likely do as little as possible to make this work with the previous tuck job because I would like this car on the road. Not going for pretty, as long as everything works I'm happy. I have someone who has offered their services in helping me solder things and get good electrical connections in the crappy parts of the harness here since it is not my strong suit.
