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
