Default Bypassing an immobiliser

My shurlock immob has failed and i want to take it out the car completely. Would it be a case of just tracing where the wires goto and rejoin the cars exiting loom back together?

yes
but as the wires were the correct length and have since had a big cut out you will prob be best making a good joint in the black wires

btu worth looking to get a new immbob of same make so you can just swap the control box and fobs
im currently trying to find an early 2000's foxguard cat 1 as mine had no fobs and was turned off til i changed the battery

Pretty much easy yeah but the alarm wiring was in with it all scaring the shit outta me lol , I basically done what i originally thought. Putting one in properly is a different matter of course although not impossible.
Nice bit of profit if it started i reckon your profits would of vanished real fast lol.
Thanks mate

A cat 1 has to have two immobilisation points!

so does a cat2, they often have 3
there is no cat1 immob as to bring it to cat1 you need to add an alarm to be a cat1 alarm/immobiliser
