e30 shops or garages that do good wiring

i just bought a 325e with an is engine swap. problem is he did a hack job on the wiring... now i have a short i cant find popping fuses, my dash lights dont work, my gauges are off, and i think it would be better to just completely redo it all at this point. i tried searching but some places are charging me atronomical prices that a 19 year old college kid really cant afford. thanks everyone, i know this is the place to come for help. i checked german tech in thousand oaks already and a couple shops in the valley. found some bmw techs on craigslist but i dont know if i should trust them... dont want to end up with another headache

Three letters:

DIY.

There's nothing like a free weekend, a case of beer, and re-wiring an old ass BMW. I think everyone should experience this. Builds character.

Mitch (lifeiskaos) works there and I've heard he's a wiring savant.

hahahaha i had a free weekend and got a huge headache... i dont know to much about cars. im 19 just starting to learn about all this stuff. i ordered the manual for the car so once that gets here hopefully i should be squared away. its me and my moms boyfriend working on it. he can do all the mechanical stuff but wiring isnt his strong point so im just trying to get it sorted before i get pulled over again.

best bet, read the info from this forum, there is a huge wealth of knowledge here. look through the project index and there has to be everything you need to know there.

If you post specific issues and pictures, R3V can likely help.

unless you are a douche about it, then we tell you to go fuck yourself.

[beanerguitarist]

[Dozyproductions]

Electrical gremlins are the worst job. Especially when somebody hacked into the harness.
