mainly that the loom doesnt match any wiring diagram we have found.
otherwise it was just stuff that takes time, and the drive date is looming really close (power cruise) wouldnt really matter otherwise.

09-11-12, 06:29 GMT+10#111 weird, i've never found anything to not match up, the rest of the build quality from holden is another story, but the wiring has generally been good.
Car is coming along nicely though, stick with it, be worth it when its done
