Sarah, I'll say this: Anyone who can make sense out of that bird's nest is a genius. More than that, anyone who can unravel that and make it all work is a super-genius.

Agree 💯 - like many a shade tree mechanic wiring is my kryptonite

@korbendallas4232 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely!

@donreinke5863 2 ай бұрын

Its time consuming but not that difficult if you start at the end of the circuit and work back to the switch or power source. Once the wire is installed, check the circuit for proper operation. Multiple wires from the end of the circuit to several power sources makes it somewhat more difficult but certainly doable. Ive rewired vehicles that had the entire wiring harness removed from them with nothing more than a factory shop wiring diagram.

When you started taking the gauge cluster out, I had flashbacks to my old Celicas and some of the wiring I had to do. Fairly straightforward for sure, but definitely not a lot of excess space in there! Keep doing what and how you do, it's what brings most of us to watch these faithfully every week!

We, your loyal audience, have the patience to watch you do the job correctly. We also know that you WILL take the time to do things right and that is why we love your channel 🐧❤️🐧❤️🐧.

@@SarahnTuned I hope this teaches you that older is in many cases better. Materials were higher quality in many cases, so was craftsmanship and the work ethic necessary to build a higher quality product was in many cases still present.

You are to be commended for that...from someone who has been in automotive repair for 52 years.

The first thing I think about when I see a car described as a 'resto mod' (although I don't see that term as much now as it seems they use the simpler term 'customized') is that they RUINED the dash by putting in some fugly lookin' gauges! I too love the 'original' look but, then again, I am old...
