Don't be scared off by the wiring, it's really not that hard.

Get a copy of John Dicken's book on automotive wiring, it's really easy to follow. I made my loom from scratch following the book, 1 circuit at a time, and I'd never even attempted anything like it before.

Or you could just strip back the donor loom for reuse it which is what I am doing, if you have a haynes manual for the car with it's wiring diagrams it's a fairly simple process and one that needs doing if your going to keep the engine loom for a ECU based engine. What's your donor?

im not goin to be using a donor everything will be brand new
