Well, I've finally had it with the #@#%@#%@#%!%$! wiring job the previous owner did on my car, so it looks like I'm going to be pulling apart the everthing from the console forward and rewiring it... AARRRHH
Is there any good guides for both dissambly(sp) and wiring of this area (the gauges are fine, I did that myself a week ago, but the rest needs help)?

PS, anybody have any idea why a car stereo would stay on after the key and anti-theft faceplate have been removed? I figure its just finally dying (its about 7-8 years old), but still, it just came out of the blue... not acting funny until yesterday.

What, and miss out on the fun of ending the job with a couple extra screws? What's the fun in that?

Seriously, though, I agree with anything big its worth the time (I'm restoring most of the interrior anyway, so I've been doing this anyway

I do have a copy of the TSRM for the '86, don't remember there being any big changes between that and an '85 (weren't they the same car since Toyota was stalling until the Mk III was ready?)

I'll actually finish pulling the dash apart when I find out which roommate took my 10mm rachet (since I've described it as THE tool for working on my car, I think one of them thought it would be funny). Out of curiosity, anybody want pics of a torn apart dash. I know its not a hugely appealing thing, but since I'm going to have it apart anyway...
