Restoring a z32

I have a 91TT rolling chassis that i want to completely redo
I will need info and help putting a new main harness, fuse box ,and relays back under the hood.

has anyone here taken a 300zx chassis and restored it to a complete running car?

If anyone has any pictures of the fuse box and wiring harness with the engine out of the the car that could give me a clue of where to start.

Im located in austin tx so if there are any local guys or Z shops around? any help would be greatly appriciated.
One last thing is the fuse box integrated with the main harness or do I have to install it wire by wire?

These cars were as much as $40k plus new. I hope you have deeper pockets if you want to restore one. You could likely buy one in immaculate shape and low Kms for wayyyyy cheaper.

Or knock yourself out and good luck. What kind of job do you have?

When I talk in KM's it sound like the milage is high so I can knock the price of a car way down. THAT is what living in a foreign country can do. heh

Does the fuse box have a connection so that I can connect it to the main wiring harness?
Where can I buy an ecu from?
Does anybody know af a reputable company where I can buy a front clip from?

I have a car that I am parting out. I have everithing in the engine bay Minus the EFI harness. a front clip woul dnot be necesaryl the way to go. because the wiring on it is diferent due to the RHD factor. so Unless youre gonna do RHD. I suggest buying a parts car *cough cough* and swaping the stuff from it. if you want pics let me know.

the only difference is the ECU harness which has all the connections for the turbo components such as the boost selenoids etc...the engine bay harness is the same NA vs. TT but does differ btw auto. vs. 5 spd.
