My mate Kris came up yesterday and spent a very hot, humid day stuck under the dashboard sorting through the mess that is my brand new body wiring loom.

The wiring I did for the Haltech EFI is fine, but the body loom I had "professionally" installed in 2016 is junk with poor routing, messy terminations, incorrectly hooked up power - the ignition, starter and accessory circuits were all wired together, which is why I couldn't find power when I hit the starter (no clicks, nothing). The rest of the loom itself is a disaster that will need to be ripped out and replaced from scratch. Kris patched together an ignition circuit together so we could wind the engine over but we weren't able to get it started unfortunately (partly as the timing light wouldn't play ball on this car, which is wasted spark).
