what about the loser who sold a running and driving 71 V6 manual Capri GT for $300.
Then found it was one of those Stillwell specials
(guilty).

Anyone got a decent photo on how the wiring loom is routed in the fuse box area under the dash?

Yep that's a good start, thanks Marty, behind the kick panel too if you can please?

Pretty sure I've got it ran proper now - the rear wiring section wasn't in the right spot so I had the grey plug too low - sits nice with it unplugged so I'll have to mess about with the rear and get that ran proper.
 


That blue wire is a constant 12v feed from the ignition, that will be wired to trigger a constant duty relay which will feed power to all the other relays to power thermos, ecu, wideband, radio etc. Will probably dual (triple?) purpose the ECU, Radio and Wideband all off one relay and individually fuse each circuit, still thinking that through though.
I also cleaned up the window regs, repacked them with grease and chucked them in too, and the door latches are in. The passengers door closes perfectly, the drivers needs adjustment - that was the side that got the new quarter panel. The latch contacts the door as you can see below. Looking at it the door needs to go forward and the back edge of the door needs to come down ever so slightly. Not a huge issue - panel beater wanted it back to check all this stuff anyway after it was mostly back together.

Sorry mate I got all busy n stuff today.
It's a bit dark now but there's the grey taped bunch of wires , they go down the side kick panel and there's a multi plug near the base from where the rear loom plugs into and that it's fed under the seat box rib to the back.
The pic I previously sent is a 76mk2 so could be slightly different to your car. Tomorrow I'll get you the kick pic!

Edit, looking close at your pic, is correct, if your still wanting the pic let me know

All good mate I think I have it handled now, I'm pretty sure I've ran the rear loom the wrong way to the right hand rear tail light, which has made the amount left up front too short.

Cool, the rear loom splits at the parcel shelf and from memory most of the loom it hooked up along the underside of the shelf, you'll see tabs near the boot opening. A local guy here in Adel does YT vids of his yellow RS and did the loom a while back , look up Si Fiction RS2
