doing your own wiring

I knew only basic electric theory, but never really got the hang of electric wiring until I learned about basic wiring techniques and "good wiring habits" from a long and late night conversation with a knowledgeable friend. Basically a good technique and a familiarity of the proper tools and types of connectors will go a long way for those of us with our feet halfway through the door.
there is also a somewhat good write up on basic auto wiring in grassroots motorsports vol 20 number 7 nov 2003. for those who are interested. It breifly covers tools, wire chioce and connectors. My biggest breakthrough, buying a decent crimper! high quality tools make high quality connections. The difference was night and day.

If I were to completly rewire a GTV I would put some of the theory to use as well. Upgrade the fusebox, lights, and add relays appropriatly.
