Hello, I saw your post to the Project binky topic
Are you serious?
Well, I AM going to need a loom...Are you serious?
Looking at this as a (very expensive) reference point:
https://www.motorsport-tools.com/escort-mk1-mk2-mo...
I can get a duratec to emerald harness here:

So i'd be needing a loom similar to the one above from motorsport-tools - and gauges and switches and fuse boxes etc etc - and indicator stalks etc.
I'd prefer my switches on a centre console panel like this:

In the above topic that goes back nearly one year ago you will see that the person I have and still am helping is rewiring an Escort Mk2
Are you any good with a roll of tape, sleeving, wire cutters and crimpers?
Why I ask is that the person I am helping has done nothing like this job in the past yet is having a go and is not so far away from completion, he hasn't had much free time to get on the job hence we are now one year down the line
I have several diagrams that I have put together and other information for an Escort Mk2 rewire

Hmmm, I’d love to have a go actually! Like your friend I think, I’m scared by the thought of it
Going on what jobs you are undertaking on this build you don't have anything to be scared of when wiring itOnce you know whats going in the center panel and where the relays and fuse box are going to be fitted the rest is straight forward
There isn't that many circuits in the car when completed
Let me know
Regards the wiring, there's an absolute wizard at it near to me. He travels all over the world and has harnesses in cars as far away as Japan. Has done lots of rally cars here. Maybe he will be worth an email. Don't ask me what he will charge but he's a solid bloke and might steer you the right way at least.

Nothing difficult in making your own wiring harness for the like of an Escort. I did all the wiring from scratch on my Escort LS1 including wiring of the original ecu. Mind I did need the engine wiring diagrams for the LS1 engine! I even wired it for a modern SVA test.
