I've taken car looms out, and I wouldn't want to have to put one back in with the standard routing (luckily I've completely re-worked mine, so I won't have to).

In my opinion, the worst areas are where the loom goes up the inside of the A pillar on the drivers side, and across the front and rear headers to feed the interior roof lights. Would be a nightmare to refit, even with the complete interior (including headlining) removed.

as you say if you label certain parts of it , it may well make life a lot easier. maybe take a few pics for reference, if you come to any problems tackle each one at a time, go for it mate if your feeling up to it. If u can its always good to have some help at hand too. At least you tidy any suspect areas prior to installing it and you,ll feel good once it all comes together. What is wrong with the loom in the car at the mo?

Only connections between the car loom and engine loom is the revcounter IIRC

Took me an afternoon to change the engine loom on my car. I removed the lower dash to make things easier.

then the next day it was the heater blower stopped completely , fine i thought as it was late summer anyway , now its winter its fookin freezin and the other half doesnt like me going sideways with all the windows misted up either funny that women eh!!

anway decided to investigate and stumbled upon were my fusebox once used to sit as i thought maybe time to check fuses etc

well to my suprise theres all my fuses and the fusebox itself sort of a pile of molten plastic
lol bit late for banging in another 10 amp methinks

have a full spare loom just looked a mare
cheers for the help also curious does the fusebox fit through bulkhead or do all the wiring from inside need to come out via here first

jon@work

the whole loom needs to pass through the bulkhead beneath the fuse box

Engine loom is easy once you have done it a couple of times, doesn't take me long at all to do now.

The car loom i have never tried but i can see it being a pig of a job.

Some days I'm glad my car is LHD. The engine loom routing is a joke.

If you have a spare to go in, hang it to dry inside, clean the crap off it, buy some dieletric grease and lube the connectors up, add some nice "covering" of your choice beit vinyl tape, loom tape, spiral wind or that fancy fabric that goes 3x the size when bunched up to go over connectors (I use that stuff).

In other words if you are going to go to all the trouble, make it pretty. Oh, and I hope you own a multimeter!
