The quest to complete five cars simultaneously continues at a snail pace. Actually, it is not that I am moving slow – but it is rather that there are millions and millions of parts to clean, restore, inspect, and install and we will get to that part later. For now, I want to share my dilemma as to whether I should had made an absolutely a color correct wiring harness or should I had made it as I do for my clients.
One of the challenges of working with an original harness is that there is no documented wiring diagram. A color coded diagram makes it a whole lot easier when working and installing a new wiring harness. Regardless of the merits, I made an executive decision to go with all of the original harness correct color codings. The choice of going this route was not altogether simple, making a wiring harness as the original was time-consuming and at times tricky. Will I do it again? Don’t count on it. Nevertheless, the final results are fantastic and I am happy with it.
This is the rear section or tail section of the harness. Note the color difference. Missing is the White/Black and the Yellow/Black for directional signals. Also, note other color differences. On a similar wiring with all newer color scheme, these would have been White/Black, Yellow/Black, Gray, and WhiteThis photo depicts one of the front turn signal and headlight coloring. We’re on the later or newer color scheme for Headlights we would have had Grey and Green. While here these are represented as Green and Red.Likewise on the relays, can you tell the difference?Headlight plugs before restoration.Plugs after restoration. Can anyone recognize what is from with this photo?Headlight ready to go in.Now waiting for the Lucas headlight rim.The starter wires go under the tunnel and back toward the starter. Often times confuse these wires as too long but they are important for slack during engine vibration.
Thus far we have restored all of the Lucas, and DeLeon Horn and light relays, wiper motors, toggle switches, headlight buckets, and anything related to the car’s electrical accessories. I am not going to get ahead of myself. All of this and more is for later.

After having my Giulietta Sprint Veloce 1st series sitting around for many years I am ready to embark into my long awaiting restoration project. I purchased the car as a rolling shell and after years of collecting the correct parts I have decided to move forward. Although, some correct parts are still missing most of…
It has been a while since I posted on the now famous E06611, the last first series 750 Sprint Veloce. Finally, after taking the plunge into the unknown territory of metal fabrication with the attitude that I should fear nothing but fear itself, I am starting to develop a comfort zone and a shorter than…
Happy to report that progress on my Giulietta Sprint Veloce E0611 is coming full throttle. As of this Saturday, all the floors are done. I was lucky enough to stumble into the correct size bead roller needed to make the floor boards and trunk floor strengthening channels by accident, after numerous attempts to find one….
We have made significant progress on Giulietta Sprint Veloce E06611 since last posted. We are now moving along to the outside skin and inner fenders. As of December 30th, we have logged a total of 130 hours on the car since we started all the metal work. Here are some photos depicting the additional work. First…
