I have an 88GT that burned under the hood and cooked all the wires. It is still very nice from the firewall back. I wanna put a something else in it but I need someone to rewire it and get it ready for a new engine. Can anyone help me out for a good price.

I wonder if it would be cheaper (or at least more cost effective) to just buy a new Painless harness

why a painless if you can pull one from a junk donor car?

Does a Painless go into both sides of the firewall? Both wire harnesses going into the drivers and passengers sides burned up. Does the Painless go to the computer and the ignition? I would love to find a donor to take off all the little parts I need. I need all new cables, front fender, wires, etc. However, I have been having trouble finding a donor car. I have been to the junk yards and they are all already stripped, or they are 4 cylinders.

Exactly what wiring is burned up? I have a spare headlight harness, and a spare alternator harness. It's easy to run new wires for the gauge senders, A/C compressor, and such. I also have a couple incomplete fuel injection harnesses for parts. Got any pic's. Painless, The Detail Zone and a few other company's make the fuel injection harness (around 400bux) but not the rest.

I was going to buy a new engine (Turnkey) with some power! Everything under the hood is burned or melted. I have a fuel injector wire harness but thats it for now. I was thinking about putting a 347 carb turnkey in it since that might help with cost and pain.

If the painless would take care of everything I would like to go with that if I could get someone to install it all for me. I don't know much about what all I need but I would love to find some help. I'm in the Reading area. Once X-mas is over I can start to put money in the car and do it right. I don't plan on ever selling the car so I want to do it all right and with the best.

Did you find all the wiring, etc.....?
JamesjGT
01-20-2008, 06:37 PM
No not yet, Depends on who does the wiring. If they wanna do painless or a used one. I need someone else to take the car and do what they can.
If anyone can rebuild this for my wife I will pay well.

Does anyone wanna take on this job? My wife has decided to sell this car if we can't get it fixed.
It needs all new wire under the hood, the top of the engine redone but I have all the parts for that already.
