The weather has improved so there was some time spent in the garage. One thing that needed to be done is to sort out the wiring harness. I pulled the harness, nearly complete, from the donor car. along with most of the computers, switches, fuse boxes etc.. To make it easy to sort out I pinned the wiring up on the wall and then plugged in all the computers and switches. This made it much easier to find the wires I need to keep and what I need to ditch.
While it is there I also plan to use it to test run the motor. With the wiring and computers on the wall I ran the cable for the engine ECU to the car and plugged it in. Also ran some grounding straps to connect the critical items. Put the key in and it lights up and unlocks the steering column and shifter. It looks like every error light still lights though, oh well, I won't be using that cluster anyway so no worries there.
The oil filter and dipstick need to be fitted to the engine before I can even see if it turns over. That's next on the "to do" list.
