Default If I can fix it....1989 Porsche 911 Turbo. Kid will pay me big bucks.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/84322/930_1opt.jpg"></center><p>Seems this young guy who owns a web design company has tried to get the car going since he bought it. He can't. It has an electrical problem and since looking at it, I know what is wrong with it. Let's just say somebody tried to run too much amps thru a wire that was not designed too or made to carry such a large load. AND piggy-backed it on a crucial system to the car. Big *** music system*sighs &amp; shakes head*.
The kid is an assh*le know it all and has an atittude problem, but he's a friend of my nephews.
Should I? I rather kick the kid is the ***** and make him pay a Porsche electrician to do it, but nephew keeps asking &amp; begging. Ops??
BTW car pix is just for idea what it is.

Default Skip it. If you get it running you'll be a hero for five minutes. After that...

...anything that ever goes wrong with the car will be your fault.

How 'bout he sells the car to you for cheap?

Default I wouldn't as any/every electrical gremlin that rears its ugly head from the day you finish...

will be "your" fault. And melted/toasted wires have a way of melting/toasting adjacent wires deep within looms and harnesses great distances away from the original spot and going who-knows-where-and-to-what-extent from there.

It's a lose-lose situation.
