So I started my "wire Tuck"

Hey guys,

I bought my car about 3 months ago. Its a bigger piece than I thought it was goining into it but I'm slowly working all the problems out and fixing all the BS the last owner did with all his ghetto awesomeness.
I relocated my fuse box this weekend. Going to work on the rest of the harness next weekend. Its a slow job but it looks nice and I'm fixing all the hack jobs he did to the harness along the way!

I measured how much I needed to add. Cut a F*** load of wires to that exact legnth and cut, soldered and heat shrinked one wire at a time to make sure nothing got crossed!

A few Pics






Moved the fuse box behind the driver headlight

When your done you should do a writeup. There's not too many detailed ones around.

uggg. i hate seeing people do this to there harness,

You need to space out the cuts, not just cut straight in one location. Now you just have this huge bulk of wire that will always be there and will never look clean.

I wasn't worried about that on this section since its all hidden in the fender well. Besides its not that big of a difference if you use the right sized wire. Maybe my version of huge and yours is different though.

its not saying that it wont work, but i do electronics on aircraft for a living, and i would never be allowed to get away witt that here haha. plus all of our wires are white haha.

So the overall outcome will function, so still looking forward to seeing this done as ill be doing mine when i get around to it. I want the motor to be in and running prior to me going to town on the harness.

This is a very time consuming process but will look great once finished. Good job!
