1990 restoration
I have a 1990 convertible that I am restoring. Under hood fire casued significant wire damage. Any ideas on where I can get the complete under hood harness (computer looks OK).
Also, the engine and trans have 130k, so do I replace or have rebuilt? This is a 1/25 built in boling green with active suspension, so I don't know if matching numbers is important for future collectability or not. Thoughts.

I used to build a few burn cars. Salvage? No collectability, Non-salvage probably not with a burn history. Why did it burn? Insurance payoff? Just about any harness will work for a doner if you want to solder wires, but there should be a few 90's in yards around the country. If you solder, butt solder and heat shrink ALL repairs. It's actually fairly easy if you can read a road map (my wife can't seem to
) Make sure that you space the repairs out over the harness, or you will have a big lump! As far as the engine/trans fix the wires first, then decide. Both are very good units to rebuild if necessary, one or both may be all right.
