Bob, Once you get started I think that you will find that this project will no 
way take a lot of time. Once the prepwork is done. Be sure as you are going 
along that you check and rehab all elec equipment. Since you will need  take 
out the heater box and fan anyway to route the under dash harness take a close 
look at it.. In my 73 TR there was a lot of crap in the box and it definitely 
needed painting. Make sure the heater core is in good shape, recore if you have 
doubts.  Also I re-lubed the armature shaft on the fan motor. No more squeal on 
start up. That rehab took longer than installing the harness itself. All in all 
though the whole project was completed in less than a week. Of course I only 
did the cockpit and underhood harness, the rear harness was in good shape. You 
will have plenty of time left over for other details. Avoid cutting and 
especially avoid soldering of automotive wires.  It should not be necessary 
with Dans kit.Crimp connections are much less prone to failure than soldered 
ones. Get the crimping tool that is available from British Wiring, not cheap at 
30.00 or 40.00+ but a real time saver. Also the tool that is designed to push 
the bullet connectors into their connections are invaluable. The only wire you 
should have to cut is the old stuff to get it out easily. Finally get a tube of 
dielectric grease and use a dab on every connection to prevent corrosion.
