My son and I have been going bonkers on wiring, trying all different connectors, heat shrink, etc. I think we finally bottomed out on a few great options to have a solid, nearly indestructible solution. This is nothing new for the veterans out there, but this has/is the biggest wiring project I’ve ever experienced. So…
Getting a bit closer to the engine installation timeframe. Had a few more items to cleanup in the bay and we’re getting closer! We ran a lot of the wiring in the engine bay around the perimeters and came upon the O2 sensor wiring. In the FFR directions, we need to split the O2 harness…
Wiring has been a total craze! We wanted to hit this milestone to get the radio setup and working. This would verify that the bundle of wires run to the trunk area are setup properly and working well. Wiring is a daunting process for many. Some folks love it, some folks hate it, I’m somewhat…

Still waiting on the ECU for the Coyote, so I opted to finish the trunk of the car wiring, and get it carpeted. Taking this build in baby steps has been a key to making progress. After much testing, we determined that the rear brake light LED 5:4 converter is simplest to test by applying…
Waiting for the ECU to arrive has been a patience test. Ultimately it needs to get shipped! Finalizing the rear wiring is needed. This required a little more planning, a little more customizing, and a whole lot of mess! Mounting the rear cockpit wall requires the trunk and cubby lighting and power to be finalized….
As part of the customization of the FFR 25th Anniversary car, I opted to get some HELLA horns to give it a little different sound than the standard horns. I think it adds a bit more of the ‘european’ heritage sound. My son and I are not electrical experts by any means, but it’s a…
There’s a ton of chassis and frame/panel work that has been done. Technically I could put the car on all 4 wheels but I’m keeping it on stands for now just to keep the workspace up a bit higher. The next phase is WIRING! Trust me, I’m a novice at electrical – but I plan…
