Default Long Shot!

I know this is a long shot guys and gals, but I could really do with a stroke of luck so here goes.

I am rebuilding my 2wd sapphire and would really benefit from some help. Would by any far stroke of luck would any of you cossie owners be in the New Milton/Christchurch/Lymington (8 miles from Bournemouth) area between now and Sunday eve?

I'll make it clear I am not asking for anyone to come and rebuild my car for me. My main issue is I have had my engine loom repaired and re-wrapped to eliminate any dead wires. Unfortunately I now cannot work out where all the plugs and connectors go as not all the colours are original and it is all wrapped in blue! lol
I am thinking if I could have another cossie next to mine I will be able to work it out, or failing that someone can say 'that goes there' etc.
I am not expecting anyone to say yes, but it is worth an ask.

No worries. Not like it's 'just round the corner' from where you are. In fact, probably not possible to be much further! lol

This should give you an idea of what I'm up against. Much easier to see it with your eyes than pics



This is an old pic and a lot more has gone on since then but you can see the loom

All plugs are original Ford so can't imagine it would be too hard to copy when seeing one plugged in next to it.
I appreciate the offer of the loom Steve, but I don't have the funds spare to buy a new one or the time for delivery/fitting as have a baby due inside 2 weeks. Missus says I need to have the car finished before that so this weekend is the deadline.

Hi all. Many thanks for all the replies and PM's. Even the comedy ones which cheered me up a bit when things were getting on top of me! lol

The good news is that the loom is all identified and labelled now and only a couple of small jobs left to do. Shouldn't be more than 2 days work to get it ready for the MOT so hopefully the baby will be late and I'll get to finish it before the lil one arrives.

Thanks again guys.
