first time electrician... help

[peon_slayer]

ok so i am totally stripping 2 talons to make 1 good one and eventually buy another motor and wiring harness for the second.... but i have never taken out a wiring harness before and i have to.... is this a PITA to do?cause i will need to do this twice... my other question is once its out i was thinking about relocating everything to the trunk, what do you guys think about that? also how hard on a scale of 1-10 will the removal of the harness be....

What are you relocating to the trunk? It takes time to do no doubt. But take your time and follow the harness and you'll be fine.

the main fuse box, and the fuse box right near the driver, im not to bad at soldering things up im more worried about getting the harnesses out of the cars... any thoughts on that?

It can be difficult especially if the car is complete. Engine harness is not so bad because it has connection points to the chassis (I'd give it a 5) But I have removed a couple. When you get into the cockpit then the blower can get in the way. So if your just talking about the engine harness, its not too bad, but you get into the complete harness and it gets a little hairy but doable. Just take your time.

The fuse box by the driver is for all the dash and ignition system control. Relocating that may get difficult unless you were building a track car.

ya i basically am building a track car, the interiors are being swapped as well and the one car is motorless atm. and its interior except for the dash is gutted but that is getting done in a few mins. i will put a blog entry up and show my work as of now and how it sits so i can get the most help available thanks guys.
