Bit of an update, not much though....
Decided to attack the wiring harness, as I will be changing everything...
There, fixed....
Today we scrapped an S60R at work (one of our spare shells), and it kindly donated a few parts I will re-use.
Fusebox:
Power steering cooler:
And, I forgot to post the flywheel I'll be using
This weekend I should be starting with the new wiring harness (body harness), new fusebox and relaybox inside the car (away from the heat), and with a much simpler design. After that, I will do an independent harness for the engine. It's a lot of work, but that's what I'm used to do, so....

So I started working on the interior while I wait for the engine work to be finished.
I started fabricating a new wiring harness with "oh surprise"... CONNECTORS!! I hate how stupid a one piece harness is... I just hate it. So now I'm re-wiring everything, each system labeled and independent from one another.
Fuel tank wiring and all the wires for rear lights and central locking, with connectors on the B-pillar
All the crap in the transmission tunnel is gone, I'm just keeping the electric windows switches, also with shorter and independent wires.
I should have pictures of the finished result somewhere though...
Now, interior coming back together!!!
Old carpet
It was pretty disgusting, wanted to get a black one but it wasn't easy, but I found a post talking about the dupli-color spray paint for interiors and decided to give it a try (couldn't be worse....)
It used three cans of the thing, and it looks great. It's not hard to the touch, I was really impressed.....
Anyway, now the dash is "almost" on, windows and sunroof are wired, central locking, mirrors and interior lights.
I now have to find a nice spot for the new fusebox and finish off the wiring for the interior.... yay
