Well, things aren't going too bad. The work itself isn't bad if you've spent time reading schematics and are comfortable with them (I am). BTW, the factory location of the 944 fuse box simply proves that Porsche engineers are sadistic. Put a roll cage in and wow what a PITFA.
Like I said though, this is much easier than a wholesale rewire of a normal car because most of the systems are removed and most of the stuff in the dash is gone. Lots of access. As for the first picture of the factory fuse box - the only thing I'm keeping in all of that is the DME relay. Everything else is being removed. In fact, the main fuse box is already out. Most of the past month has been planning, parts acquisition and design. In a project like this, the design phase is 70% of the work and is the real hard part. With a good design on paper, the "crimping the wire" part of the project is pretty simple and straight forward.
Updates will follow as they occur. The new wiring diagrams are almost done. I'm going to fab up the new fuse panel tonight or tomorrow. The wiring itself should be a one day job considering I've done all of the planning in advance. I have a lot of incentive to get this heap out of my garage ASAP - suspension parts for my car have started to trickle in.
