Oh, and by the way. I wasn't keeping the car in the bathroom! Just needed
space in the garage to cut drywall, pvc, and insulation, etc.
Ditto on that. My 3A came with rusted out floors and sills, 3 inches of racoon
poop in the engine bay, and fecal dust that blanketed the air as I pounded
brake drums to loosen them enough to push out of a shed in Ossinee, NY.
Replacing the wiring loom seemed...uhm...wise.
No wiring problems since I did it in 2004. Daily driver.
Although. Have gutted the bathroom in our house, so had to move the car
outside for the duration. Even with a top-rated tonneau and a car cover on
top, water still pooled in the trunk and on the floors. Still no problem with
wiring. But have to wonder, how do people actually drive in the rain? Was it
EVER dry inside????

Agreed, my ?3a was a complete replacement and I was glad of it ? the one are
to not worry about. Even now, 16yrs later no worries about that part?.

For my TR3 the fabric on the old loom had mostly rotted away and it was a mess
with many bits of wire spliced in. The actual wire was oxidized even inside the
plastic insulation so doing anything with it was a pita. I opted to replace it
with a new loom and it was money well spent.

Ok so the other project, besides getting the ?3 going is the body replacement
on the spsitsix. I have started to move over, and refurbish, components. I am
looking at the wiring harness and I am wondering, should I pull and reuse the
old one OR put out the cash and get a new harness? Generalized thoughts?
Opinions? Experiences? Suppliers?
