If you ever lose motivation for your build have a look at what i have to deal with "eventually"
If the pic doesnt show the extent of my problems, there is two of almost everywire running into the immobiliser (which i have not yet found a home for)
Ten wires merged onto the one fuse at one point

makes yours look tidy as

by the time i crammed the wiring for alarm, central locking, power windows, 5 extra guages, MP3 head, 2 amps and an ipod interface theres one big arse jumble of wires tucked up under my dash

and i still have subaru wiring to add to it :crazy:

in reality you need maybe 6 wires to drive it ;) but if you want headlights, indicators etc add a few more :P

All this makes me feel better regarding my wiring. I am always trying to identify what wire is what and they were painted when last person painted car. Also I have added 3 gauges, alarm, air horns, dvd player, amp, sub and 6x9s with 4 more speakers to fit as well as central locking, 4 driving lights, interior lights. It's a very colourful display of spahetti.
