alright guys having some issues with the 3dr so looking for some guidance,when I turn ignition on the reverse lights come on,put the indicators on and all the lights on the rear flash,headlights done work as they should either,clocks don't light up either.everything worked fine before it was stripped to go to paint.
ive spent a couple of hours on it tonight cleaning up the earths and stuff but nothing what ive done has changed anything,any help would be great.

The rear lights are definitely getting power to them from somewhere when the ignition is turned on,electrics aren't my strong point.i was wondering if I've knicked a wire while putting the car back together.
It almost certainly is an earring issue, as said.
Check the earths are good, i.e. they should be clean metal, not painted, which they may now be.
The reverse lights sounds an independent issue, I think they are switched ground, if so, then as you say a wire has probably been shorted.
