S3c wiring loom
Discussion
Having enjoyed the running Hare from my last post, here is the next!
I see many folk have gone the full body lift chassis refurb and respray of the bodywork involving the inevitable replacement of coilovers and upgraded brakes, etc., but I haven't seen a report of replacing the wiring loom!
Given that TVR wiring is 'notorious' what is the solution? Repair or replace??

Thank you chaps, again, for your feedback.
My wiring appears ok for a 25 year old car although I imagine the engine bay loom has suffered a lot of heating/cooling to the pvc covering. I imagine the engine loom is Ford based but what has been modified, is the question? And all the various (undersized?) earth cables attached to dodgy crimped connections and bolted to corroded chassis members does not make for a reliable electrical system, does it not???
When looking behind the dash at the 'spaghetti' there is clearly a lot of additional earthing wires together with the standard and aftermarket alarm/immobilizer system. I remember when Carl (the guru) Baker changed my Chim alarm I was astonished how much redundant wiring and equipment he removed during his 8 hour surgery!!!
So, once all the cr*p has been removed, rewiring should be straightforward, yes?
