Looking good so far, wish I could have a nice work area like that.
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Re: Flatcaps adventure into the unknown
think of wiring as a hydraulics system. wires are pipework, resistors are a restriction, and diodes are one way valves.
My advice is concentrate on one system at a time so first off start with ignition, then front and rear position/running lights, then indicators and finally ancillary systems.
Just take your time over the whole system and do it step by step.

Re: Flatcaps adventure into the unknown
Have a bit of a setback with the project as I discovered light scratches appearing on the powdercoat job done 2 months ago The chap who did the work came around to my place to take a look and offered to redo the work and apologised so Im at least happy there wasn't WW3 to get it sorted! Problem is I have to strip out all the work already done including the bleedin wiring
