82 Wiring harness

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

I would just get the whole fusebox and wiring harness from a newer rocco.
If you pull the entire thing, you should be able to make it work without too
many problems.  To save yourself issues just pull everything electrical you
can out of the donor car.

I've been wanting to do that to my 82 for ages - but thankfully mine hasn't
rusted out too bad.  When I had my dash off - I did build a drip shield to
stop any potential windshield leaks from getting the fusebox.  I just bent
up a piece of abs plastic and mounted it as best I could.
