allright i dont want to catch a bunch of bullshit for this but i need some help the car is just about done, i need to get my new intake and exhaust manifolds and hook up the axles the engine needs to be wired in, pete convinced me to do this swap and i was told that he would help me out with the wiring cause i have no idea about wiring and i cant stand it, i texted him to see when he could give me a hand cause he said it would be quick and easy. but apparently he “has a life” and doesnt have time so now im officialy fucked because im getting a new job soon and i need some source of transportation and my car is just sitting in the driveway waiting to be wired and im running out of money so if any of you guys could give me a hand sort through this wiring that would be awesome just let me know…my car is a '84 rabbit convert. with a 1.8L 16v and 5sp trans, all of the 8v harness has been removed (pass side harness and the box near the wiper motor) and the rest of the harness thats attached to the fuse box has just been pulled through the fire wall (laying on the floor) and i have ALL of the wiring out of the donor car including the ECU and fuse box someone please help me out ---
