Great effort! Bet you're pleased you're not forking out $50 an hour for your time!

Nice one
Good to know how it is all put together as well. I know that has helped me problem solve with my Z18ET. Even if you forget over time, it doesn't take long to refresh your memory.

Re: 1200 coupe z18et project
I know what it is!
I had this exact problem on my 1200. (The charge light wouldn't go off either, but I assume yours isn't running atm?)
I chased the horn wire into the loom, and found that the loom plug where it goes through the firewall wasn't pushed all the way in. it looked together, but it wasn't right home. Go try it, and report back asap!

haha if only i was still using the factory loom and plugs eh! haha! i have to rewire the horn.. but im not sure how the horn circuit works. im not sure if there is a power into the horn or not? some people have said weird things about horn circuits where the switch is just earth.. not power.. but there is only one wire on the horn and at the horn switch.. so im a bit lost haha!
if the horn and windscreen wipers arent working for me today i might start wiring up the motor anyway
