it is a good idea.. but it'd be good if it was done properly and everything was wired up.... i want to salvage as much of the wires as possible i am unsure how to break it open....

Most of them shouldn't be there in the 1st place...

it already has a rear disc conversion, weber carb with manual choke, lowered on coilovers. very solid underneath and no sign of any rust.

so much planned for it, full restore of interior, tidy up of exterior and fresh paint, new wheels and arches(arches are cracked) bigger engine in the future. so much planned

lots of pics to be uploaded, as will need advice and help.

thanks

got a st of 90 spec arches is very good condition if u interested

Possibly relays inside that for headlights? Seen something like that before

I'm not sure if its ingenious or really dumb. Keep all the connections locked up, using a tupawear container filled with jelly.

done!!!!
took it all out and broke it up with a hammer and chisel to be safe instead of just smashing it, all it had inside was some relays(I think) and some wires, sub+amp wire was in there pointlessly and was only wiring for lights thank god. ive now re wired the lights and for now there just taped to my battery until I find a way to get them tucked away somewhere, I also rewired up my door card speakers as the wire had snapped..
took pics of what I was doing
 
breaking the 'box'

box broken


rewired


works better than before I'd say, lights seem a lot brighter
