Update 3

Today I got to the main part of the wiring today. I took out the rest of the interior items in the vehicle and stripped it down to almost nothing. Our cat hasn't stopped laying on the old carpet that I took out so I may save that. Otherwise everything went down to the trash. We have a community dumpster at the end of our street and the neighbors must think I'm running a chop shop because I've been throwing away obsolete car parts in the for days now.




Imagine that you boiled 40 pounds of spaghetti with each piece being 100 feet long. After the spaghetti is done cooking try to untangle it all. Keep in mind that if you get a piece wrong it could be the difference of the vehicle working or not. The engine starting or not. This still has been the best part of the project so far. I've gone through an entire roll of duct tape labeling connectors. I have no idea where all these computers and modules will be mounted on the 818 but all this wiring will go back into it. I'll post more pictures when I get it all out of the vehicle. Probably another day then I will be ready to do the heavy stuff. The engine, transmission, drive axles etc.
