General wiring tips.
1. Don't go cheap. Spend the money on high grade stuff. Don't buy KAPTON period. It dries out and lets the magic smoke out.
2. Shield signal wires and don't run high power near them. Getting induced voltage on signal lines isn't fun.
3. Decide what you want/need in your harness and build your own. Hacking into a 20 year old plus harness isn't worth the time or trouble. Depinning and reusing connectors is fine.
4. Expect to spend crazy amount of time on it.
5. Make your out wiring diagram and label every wire. When close to done run continuity checks on each wire.
6. Check everything at least 56699 times. And you will still cross wires.
