well that harness i took out. i dont need that for my car to run.
all i need from it is lights, indicators and thermos. So the rest will get tucked away/cut away and those wires extended to run along the chassis most likely

I did a wire tuck on my red na6, it's a lot easier than people anticipate as long as you make a hole to run the wires back thru further down the front guards. Nice progress Charlie! keep at it, even though your slow :P
