How long is the wiring going to take dude? This might be my chance to catch up

Im hoping for the best, preparing for the worst..
When i bought the car, despite the fact it was running, no electrics worked

What is the strut top situation?

^ What he said, what are they?

As for the wiring, Peter mentioned you may be getting a fusebox from him mate, if so I recently converted my fusebox to blade style fuses and have had 0 (touch wood) issues what so ever. Have a look on my build thread for the cabby and you can see it. Hit me up with a pm if you want more info. I personally find it the easiest and most reliable way of running blade style fuses.

Update! She runs! (Not for long periods of time though.. ignition issue..)
Most wires are sorted and we are getting closer and closer to rego!!!!! Yay!
Just a few things to sort out like thermo fan and shortening the clutch cable.. why are they so fricken long?!?!?!
Also in need of electronic ignition, ie. Distributor and the unit. Already have a gt40r coil but i have no resistor and the contact breaker is having a hard time running 12v haha
