What amp fuse are you running on that safety cut off switch on the side of the button box?

Looks near

100 amp for alternator charging.

Not a lot of progress today, still working on the wire loom.
I tested some more today and now have the dash with power.
The Body harness is complete to the firewall, I will complete the front lights tomorrow.
I got to test the diode relays and circuit breakers, today as I accidently wired the trigger wires around the wrong way which shorted one circuit tripping the circuit breaker.
I'm pretty happy with the way things are progressing on the wiring front, but not much to show for the efforts.
Below is a close-up of the body harness firewall plug. Each wire is labelled with a short description and pin number.

Cheers,
I should have some better progress shots tomorrow.
Hopefully with the dash panel reinstalled.
Getting very close to finishing then onto log book time.

Quick update,
I'm sure I have said this 100 times but the wire loom is taking some time to complete, but I really want to get It right.
All the wiring back from the firewall is now complete and tested.
It hasn't been without some teething issues though.
Firstly, I put the ECU power pin in the wrong place which took a while to diagnose (face palm).
Secondly, I had some issues with the Shift light Module (SLM) where it would flash event though I wanted the lights solid.
This was diagnosed as a problem where ECU, Dash and SLM were on the same CAN bus and the ECU and Dash were trying to both use the SLM. When I turned off the SLM functions on the ECU it worked properly.
I've been playing with the ECU/Dash software and have all the channels passed to the Dash now, each time I turn it on I learn so much about how to use it, how to pass extra channels to the dash and maximise spare ECU inputs.
Last issue is a dodgy Master Switch, that sometime won’t turn on (This will have to be replaced - but for now it's ok for testing).
Today I will work on the engine bay part of the loom. The work spent on the other side of the firewall has meant that this should be pretty easy. Each sensor has it's own pins, no wire splicing on the engine bay side.

The Motec Gear is expensive but you know that when you buy into it.
Top gear and the support is excellent as well.
What I liked about it was the software for logging, I convinced my wife to let me spend the extra for this factor.
I weighed up Link/Haltech/Racepak/RaceTechnology combos but couldn't go past the Motec combo for the extra $$.
If you have this combo you can work around the M84 restrictions and maximise the usage of the inputs.
For example the M84 has locked inputs for MAP and MAF, I won't use MAF and have water pressure sensor into this input.
I have no intention for the ECU to make engine adjustments for either MAF or Water pressure, however I can pass the raw signal through to the Dash and allow the dash to convert MAF to Water pressure and then log this data.
Because of this I have, at this point, saved the need to upgrade the Dash to have the 12 I/O function enabled.
In my setup MAF = Water pressure, User 1 = Front Brake Pressure, User 2 = Oil Temp, Gear V = Steering angle.

I had a small win last night.
I finished the Body harness and tested all the elements. Wipers, lights, indicators, starter motor all work as advertised. Dorian timer turned on (forgot to check reverse switch though). The start button lights up, I am hoping this goes out when the alt is charging but won't know that until i get to start the car properly.
Hopefully I'll finish the wiring in the next week. I am so close I finishing this build.

Finally the wiring is finished.
Engine has been sitting for a good couple of years now so it was time to replace the oil and all fluids in the car.
I tested the injectors (No fuel yet) and they were firing in the correct order.
I can't test the coils yet but will work on that next weekend.
I few fine tunes on the motec to set the right sensor values and it appears all sensors are working.
O2 sensor was calibrated and so too was TPS.
Cranked the engine over (Plugs out to build up oil pressure) was happy to see the oil pressure rise.
Finished the weekend with gearbox oil change and started to bleed the brakes and clutch.
Not a lot to look at:
