Gallows Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 That wiring really looks like a shitshow. Are you going to try and make it work or use the red cars harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 from my understanding, the red cars harness isnt much better. i could be mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Donovan trust me when I pulled the dash I wanted to punch a little child.Bryan - atleast it can't get any worse eh?Gallows - no I would die from being so OCD from doing car audio installs for the last 5 years I have to use a splice pack if I ever have to cut wires. These should be illegal in all 50 states....There's house speaker used in it with wires that have 15 butt connectors it's a shit show that's for sure.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 holy shit as an installer myself that made my knee start tapping looking at all of that. Probably won't be as bad as it looks to fix it if you start by ripping it all out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think most of that is the Digital 7 wiring that is controlling the whole car, along with the necessary wires to make the car still street legal, which isn't very many of them!

Det_Riot Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've heard people use oven degreaser but engine degreaser seems to make a hell of a lot more sense. If you want we might be able to take it down to my buddys shop to sandblast it and then we can just paint it instead of Powdercoating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 This is coming along nicely, I like it. What happened with the pinch weld on the fire wall? Has it been folded up? Also will or was the car an automatic? I don't see the hole that the clutch cable goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
