Making a full wiring loom from scratch

[Viperz888]

I had the great idea to tear out the bodge-tastic wiring from my project mk2 Escort, in the hopes that 'it would be easy enough' and 'there'll be a guide online'.

Unfortunately, it turns out it's harder than I thought to make a diagram showing me how to organise my new loom.
I don't have a problem with making it; its the designing that I'm struggling with. Fortunately its an older, simple car with very little in the way of amenities.
Its planned to be a road going track car, so there is only the bare minimum requirement for electricals.

Even so, I have questions such as what size of wire do I need for which circuits, where and how the fuses should be grouped.

Has anybody done this before, and can they share any tips?

Send me an email to [e-mail] and post here that you have sent that email, I will then go through the whole job with you and very likely post all the information here.
Your Escort is very uncomplicated

Thank you very much - I have sent you an email to the address above.

Thanks also to the rest of you for your tips and insight.
