MG Midget Madness (i.e. It was either this or kill it with fire)

One 1987 GXL RX-7 wiring harness, complete front to rear, ready for transplant into the MG.

I figured I would work on this while waiting for my muffler stuff and radiator.

This is the harness that came out of the same car as the engine and transmission. I will need to do a fair amount of modification to make it work with all the MG peripherals. Considering how 40 years of previous owners have performed a Texas chainsaw massacre on my original harness, it will be necessary to replace the wiring anyway. This way I know everything matches and I get a relatively modern fusebox and connectors for everything in the car, not to mention being able to keep the cruise control and other modern refinements if I need them. This will be a street driven car, so a few creature comforts will make it more enjoyable to use.

Now on to stripping the wiring out of the MG.
