getting to the point where i will be starting on Electrical, and I am scared to death of the German wiring - not much good at electronics anyway, and looking at 45 years of degradation.
My buddy has used EZ Wire Kits
http://www.ezwiring.com/store/
in several of his projects, essentially pull out all the wires, put in the EZ wire system. 18 fuses, 21 circuits, all the wires are color coded and labelled every 5 inches, you just take the appropriate wire to the correct location, and attach it. That sounds a whole lot more appealing that trying to figure out german wire diagrams, and chase down what is almost assuredly multiple shorts and ground issues.

Not interested in Historical accuracy - restoring a junk yard find to fun driver, canyon carver! so reliability counts alot!

I too agree with Kent. Unless you have a total mess wiring harness, the stock wiring is all there and can be resurrected with a bit of patience.

If you decide to go the EZ route, let us know how your endeavor goes.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
