Electronics guru needed in AZ

Are there any good electronics people that you guys know here in the Southwest region that is knowledgeable with rewiring or installing a new engine harness on the FD?

I am in serious need of rewiring because my engine bay is absolute garbage...I can't even explain it to you guys but I will take a picture later on. I would rather it be a local guy or shop instead of me towing it somewhere like a different state. Let me know if you guys have any input.

Mods - If this is in the wrong forum, can I please get directed to the correct one? I'm having trouble locating the electronics and/or wiring area...

If your willing to have the car towed take it to Jeff at jordaninnovations in Irwindale, California he is the man when it comes to wiring.

BTW, the FSM is a great tool to have... what year is yours?

Re-wiring a harness is fairing different from just installing a new harness.
Not that I'm trying to push my for sale items, but I have a nice clean harness in my garage waiting for a new owner.

My car's ECU harness and I'm assuming some sort of body control module harness are both mutilated in every way possible. The set-up of my car has moved many OEM things from their normal spot. I have a GT40 single turbo, upgraded radiator, upgraded intercooler, no A/C, no power steering, etc. The people who owned the car previously cut, spliced, stripped, and ripped many wires in the engine bay. There have also been wires that were exposed that were flapping around everywhere.

These things the previous owner has "upgraded" or done to the car has left a LOT of plugs and connectors loose and useless in the engine bay. I am basically looking for somebody who knows their **** that can work with me to cut wires, plug in connectors that have been unplugged, and tidy up my engine bay so it doesn't look like a rat's nest lol.

Anyways, I am hoping to learn more about this car and I will provide some cash, beer, and food haha to anybody that can help me!

What is an FSM? Haha sorry but I'm unsure what you mean.

I understand yours is for sale, but by the time I can afford anything else for the car it will be August at the earliest. I need to buy a bunch of stuff for my other car that I'm trying to fix and sell!

FSM = "Factory Service Manual."

Harness work; such joy. Even on a relatively simple car like an SA, it can be fun.

I have a 93 and nobody has eve used the term 'joy' with wiring lol unless you truly enjoy it or are sarcastic. Haha so hopefully I can get somebody's attention that could help. I'm assuming it would be faster to start from scratch then to rewire the one I have already. I will take some pictures today to show you guys.

I guess that if the wiring looked like that, it would be quite a bit more fun than the rat's nest that I am having to deal with right now lol

FB versus FD, completely different world. multiply that dinky thing times 30 and you have an FD harness.

even i would probably cringe diving knee deep into a FR and emissions harness on the FD.

it would probably be cheaper and easier to find a good harness to replace it with.
