Well, sort of.  I finally got around to swapping the trunk off the 5- 
speed which peeled completely for some unknown reason with the one  
off the car I got from John Bysinger.  I cut the harness, and the one  
from John's car had some bad wires right at the hinge point.  I  
gleaned about 2 feet of harness from the inside of my trunk so I was  
able to solder all those with matching colors which made it easier to  
finally solder them in place in the 5-speed.  I even found a roll of  
gaffer's tape in the basement, and after bundling it all up, looks  
pretty stock.  Whole thing probably took me 4-5 hrs with all the  
soldering/heat shrinking and I still have to swap the locks, but it  
was a totally satisfying thing.  Here's the before/after pics.....Tom
