      I assume you're just ensuring that it all works before you solder...

          You serious? He actually used the twist wire nuts! If anything, I would say he could have possibly used different color ones in order to match wiring, but other than that, i applaud a person willing to go the extra mile. I don't know anyone who still takes that kind of time anymore. Now it's all solder and heat shrink.... fucking shortcuts.

                        I thought there was something off when I was looking under the hood of your 02 last week.

                        That's why the harness was so bulgy.

                          What an artist

                          after 26 years as a splicer for the phone company, all I can say is, You sir are an artist... add some black tape and some cable ties and send that in with a resume and I bet they will hire you as a journeyman splicer.... And I would be awed to see that in a splice case or hanging off a pole..... Awesome, just awesome....:)

                              I'd trust a mess of wire nuts over a solder job done by almost anyone here.

                              I'd bet there is less than 10 guys on here that could properly solder/heatshrink :P

                                Just dip the whole thing in a big ass bucket of this shit. You owe me big time.
