mini van compleate rewire
Turbo Mini Forums

hi all, I have a bare shell, I also have a brand new wiring loom from auto sparks my question is this. is it a diy job or is it best to pay a sparky to do the job? I can hold my own in the garage but never taken on a complete re wire, I have countless wiring diagrams from the web, back of Haynes manual ect but the colours never seam to correspond to anything?! the car is going to be kept to a bare minimal electrically speaking, lights, wipers and a heater. iv even thought of just making a loom myself with a big fuse box.
any advice will be greatly aspirated!
cheers

if its a bare shell there cant be a lot to it

Done now needs redoing lol

no I know there's not a lot to it its just I have miles of wire for a 850 van and im putting in a metro turbo lump so I know im going to have to cut and rewire certain things to suit the new engine ect so was thinking a home made loom with minimal wiring would be the way forward??

I'd just pic up a s/h loom, maybe one from a later model.

with regards to the metty turbo lump, it dosent really need anything in terms of extra wiring, or anything that does can be removed.

yea the loom had been modified to a certain extent from a dyno to an alt. so I think I will just plod on as I am and if I get no joy ill get a sparky in!
thanks for the advice guys

If you get stuck I'll be down in two weeks, I'm pretty handy with electrical stuff, do you still want the 8mm copper off Shauna too?

Hi yea I completely forgot about the copper pipe I do still want it. If u pm me ur number I can give u a call and sort something out! As far as the wiring goes it's going to be a while before I'm ready to to start connecting stuff up due to funding issues, a lot of stuff I was planing to buy has to be put on the bk burner now especially with Xmas coming up and 2 kids to buy junk for that they'll never use lol

I wired my car from scratch, diagrams in my build thread '1275gts'. It's easy enough if you think it through.
