With all the repairs done we focused on using original and correct parts for the car. This required lots of knowledge and patience to track down the parts. The complete wiring harness was changed in the car. Custom ordered from England with the correct factory color coded cloth wrapping. Let me just state that the harness was a work of art! Now ALL the electrical works on the car. elieve it or not.
