It's been over a month since I've worked on the car. Sunday, I cut off the clamping tabs in the engine bay, shot some self etching primer, and airbrushed some single stage.
Last 2 nights were spent prepping the wiring. Working on one connector at a time, cutting all the tape off, cleaning off the tape slime and depinning any wiring that won't be needed. Haven't pulled as much as I expected so far... ABS, fog lights, corner markers, etc.
Cleaned harness gets bundled and tossed to the back once completed. Pulled wire goes to the right and is neatly bundled in case it needs to be put back in or used as a repair wire.
Found plenty of burned areas in the ignition switch harness... need to be revisit this harness.
Printed and laminated a copy of the A2 Resource. Some of the wire colors aren't accurate, but it's still very helpful.
Verifying everything against the Bentley. Wished the diagrams were as easy to read as the old Rabbit's Bentley.
My trusty VAG terminal puller has served me well for the past 5 years.
Tonight, I finally found a need for the smaller tool. Need to make one....
