FL Need some wiring help in Orlando

So I'm nearing the end of my 12a turbo build and I'm getting to the part of this build I've been dreading the most.... wiring.

Basically I've stripped the car of all unnecessary hardware and wiring. No A/C, heat, radio, etc. and I need to clean up what's left of the harness along with wiring in a few other things. I am the first to admit when I don't know something, and well... wiring is not my strong point.

So I'm looking for someone local that is comfortable/familiar with wiring on these cars that might be willing to help out. I'm willing to pay if you need the cash, or buy beer and pizza if you're down for helping out a fellow rotor-head. I'm happy to return the favor if you need any mechanical work done as that is definitely more my strong point. I will also be helping as well, not just watching you work. I've also got some extra parts and stuff laying around that I'd be willing to donate if you need them.

I live in Winter Park, so you'd have to come over to my garage as the car is still waiting on the Diamond Racing wheels and tires.

Thanks in advance guys, and feel free to PM if you prefer.

What issues are you having? Is there a specific prob you need wiring help with?

Ignition (CD boxes), fuel pump, body, interior, etc.....

Let us know what specifically you need help with; and don't say all of it!!!!!

Ha ha... I was waiting for you to chime in Keith.... thank god!

Basically I'm planning to use some of the extra in the fuse box to run the different circuits I've added like wideband and the in-tank walboro. Add some relays, relocate the battery to the bin and re-wire the engine bay. I've got a MSD 6A to wire up as well, and trying to keep the gauge panel illumination and the gauges, other than the water temp, as I broke the sender and have an aftermarket gauge. Also want to keep the head/tailights/turnsignals using the column stalks.

I've got an ignition panel for Quick Car so I'm not going to use the crappy ignition switch for starting, but will use the lock cylinder to lock the column. It's basically a race car wiring job with power windows and stock cluster.... everything else is gone.

I just suck with schematics and do a terrible job of keeping the wiring clean.

So I guess.... sort-of all of it, but the harness is already pulled from the car and de-loomed and mostly stripped, so most of the hard work is done.

Hmmmm, What were the last five words of my last post? You're killing me. PM me your phone #. I might be able to help. My nights and weekends are shot, but I might be free Mondays and Fridays during the day for an hour here or there. PM me your schedule. I am slammed busy for the next few weeks but might have a few hours to meet up and look at what you got and help! I've been wanting to meet you anyways and check out your ride for a while now.....its always good to know the locals!
