So I bought this 79 Special and there are some fried wires, melted connectors and a lot of stuff that is wired that I don't plan on using.
I want to run the bare min in Michgian, tail, break, head lamp.
I've pulled out the entire harness, right or wrong, I started trying to just isolate what I wanted to keep and replace what was bad but there was too much bad and now it's all out.
I've looked at the wiring diagrams and some look more simple than others, and I think I can follow them for the most part but I'd like some tips and pointers for this job. Should I just buy a bunch of wire and connectors and start from scratch, or would it be wise to just pull apart the sleeves that hold the wire together and protect it and reuse the OEM stuff and connectors.
This is my first build, and my first go at anything elec aside from some small stuff on a honda dirtbike that I had for a few years.
