Default 3 door looms??

Started working on my 3 door track car this week , stripping down what i dont need and getting it read to go to Jacko for paint.
The loom is ropey as are most and i am sure there is stuff on it that i may no longer need.
I was wondering if it is maybe an option to take it all out and get one done with just the bare min requirements.
What do you recon , too much work, too exspensive , silly idea, not possible, oppinions please

A replacement loom is always a good thing

Roosie is doing it as well, on his 3 door track car, good idea imo if not needed, less to go wrong.

Its a bit time consuming if you want to make it look nice....braided up or raychem'd etc but its not overly expensive.
For a basic setup i'd just run a relay box with fused relays, its fairly neat and tidy solution.
Parts available from... vehicle wiring products and polevolt.

Was thinking of you and lew, do you think it would be achievable mate and not a bit over the top to re do the car .
That way i could get the loom out and crack on.
You know the score i will always take advice and offers of assistance

You got any dollys left so could drop the running gear mate or a spit knocking about??
