Oh, and by the way.  I wasn't keeping the car in the bathroom!  Just needed space in the garage to cut drywall, pvc, and insulation, etc.

Ditto on that.  My 3A came with rusted out floors and sills, 3 inches of racoon poop in the engine bay, and fecal dust that blanketed the air as I pounded brake drums to loosen them enough to push out of a shed in Ossinee, NY.  Replacing the wiring loom seemed...uhm...wise.

No wiring problems since I did it in 2004.  Daily driver.

Although.  Have gutted the bathroom in our house, so had to move the car outside for the duration.  Even with a top-rated tonneau and a car cover on top, water still pooled in the trunk and on the floors.  Still no problem with wiring.  But have to wonder, how do people actually drive in the rain?  Was it EVER dry inside????

For my TR3 the fabric on the old loom had mostly rotted away and it was a mess with many bits of wire spliced in. The actual wire was oxidized even inside the plastic insulation so doing anything with it was a pita. I opted to replace it with a new loom and it was money well spent.

Ok so the other project, besides getting the ‘3 going is the body replacement on the spsitsix.  I have started to move over, and refurbish, components.  I am looking at the wiring harness and I am wondering, should I pull and reuse the old one OR put out the cash and get a new harness?  Generalized thoughts? Opinions?  Experiences? Suppliers?
