This week I focus on the mess that is the E30's wiring loom. It was taken from the car a long time ago and has sat in a box ever since. It was really overwhelming at first. But once I had it all laid out everything became clear. Enjoy!

PROCESS:

Firstly, I unraveled the loom. It had been sat in a box for about a year. After it was laid out, I could make more sense of it. I started by stripping everything and anything off the loom. All of the old loom and electrical tape came off. Whilst I was stripping the loom, I used cable ties to keep groups of wires together and to make sure junctions were obvious.

Once all the old stuff was off, I cleaned up the wired, clean a few peripherals with the rotary tool and degreaser. I also re-labeled the entire loom as the old labels were getting hard to understand.

Once all that was done, it was time to rewrap the loom. This took the best part of three days and hurt like hell after a while. My legs and hands were aching at the end of each day like crazy.

Once every single wire was wrapped and the loomed had been sorted, I found the lid for the fuse box, cleaned it up and the restoration was complete. Not a crazy one, just something to keep me going whilst I'm inbetween workshops.

Thanks for watching.
