Ok i think i made a fatal mistake. I wanted to take all the wiring out of my S13 so that i could abrasive blast it and i decided to cut the wiring under the left front fender to get the entire wiring out without having to take everything apart. I am new at this and i dont have anyone that is experienced to tell me what the best solution is. So my question is can this wiring be fixed? Am i totally screwed??

so you cut the entire giant harness in half? like 30 to 50 wires?

not a smart thing to do but you aren't completely screwed. just have to go through and solder all the wires back together. make sure to do a really good job and cover all the solders with shrink wrap very thoroughly otherwise you'll have them all shorting out against one another.

Are you screwed? No, but by the time you are done you will think you were. You have just learned a valuable lession. You have a large number of hours ahead of you repairing this self induced problem. Just be wsure to take your time and fix it correctly or you will have nothing but trouble.

Good luck
