I'm going to try to start my build log however I picked up the chassis and donor the first of March. I bought the 2009 Turbo at IAAI, Lonny stored it for me until my chassis was done so I could pick both up at the same time. I paid approx. $3k with fees, it has 57k miles. It was hit in the front but not a lot of damage, however after digging into it I could see it was in a front-end collision sometime. The donor is stripped, I have been working on the wiring harness. I have been somewhat unorthodox on my build process, not exactly following Lonny's videos, which was a mistake. I actually have the front suspension on and the motor in. I have run into a couple of issues with the wiring process. I cut the ambient sensor out which I think was a mistake and for the life of me, I can't see where I cut it from or where the sensor was on the car. I checked the multi-plugs thinking I would see the cut stub wire but nothing. Not sure if the two wires are coming out of the ECU plug or the BCM. I also cut the temp sensor but I think I found the wires to re-solder. I cut the light sensor as well which I do think I need and that I am having a hard time finding where that originated from. I have taped the harness coming out of the control box so I may have to open all that back up again. My big problem is I haven't worked on it consistently and since I have CRS, I really get into trouble. If anyone know where these wires originate from I would appreciate a reply. thanks
