Engine wiring loom is seperate from the car looms, and should be obtained with the engine. Doesn't even need to be disconnected from the engine for the swap.

that means you are just like 90% of all other drop tops........


I am not fir sure, but from what I was told, the drop tops were about 90% 325's as opposed to the 318's.........
