Default Wiring nightmare.

Wow the guy I bought this car from was no electrician. He decided to put neon in and first of all the tubes don't even fit, so I have to take the actual neon out of the tubes and shove it up outta the way. Secondly he put some fake guage faces on instead of just changing the bulbs. I sorta like them so I dunno if I'll keep em. Somehow when he was putting the guage faces in he didn't realize that you have to screw it out, so he ended up breaking the frame for the guages, now theres some CF painted piece of plastic covering the cracks, looks like crap anyway. Also on this was VAFC unit. The wire was just hanging down next to the gas pedal, if you moved your foot an inch in the wrong direction then you were gonna pull it out! Anyway my point is, if you don't know how to keep wiring out of the way or not break the car while your doing it then let someone else do it right!

umm okay... I say yank those neons out of there and not even mess with trying to clean up the previous owner's wiring job.

you call that a nightmare?
I'll tell you a nightmare
I bought my teg off this kid 6 or so months ago, when I looked at it he had a McCulloch HID kit installed, and I paid extra for him to leave them in the car. Not only did he jip me on the HID kit (at the time $500) BUT the passenger side 9006 wires MELTED from his weak *** attempt to reconnect the factory harnesses that he CUT to install the HID kit. Now my mechanic is calling the sh*t an opened can of worms and he told me I'm lucky the damn thing didn't catch fire...........

top that

With all that wiring laying around after removing stuff just make sure you dont start a fire. Thats worse than getting in an accident.
