She had a bunch of wiring nightmares going on. 2 alternators, solenoids, switches, fuses, terminal blocks, and lots more.
My philosophy is keep it simple. Planning to fit a 130A 3G alternator in place, remove all the 'extras' and put a few relays in for cooling fans. I will have to chase down some issues as both batteries were dead and several things didn't work (lights, dash gauges, ARB compressor, etc).
I removed the one alternator that was wired all funky. The fan belt it used was literally about 1/8" thick. It looked like a belt used in a R/C car. After that, I removed alternator brackets and the exhaust manifold hidden underneath. It had a bad exhaust leak as the bolts were loose and a few of the gaskets were blown.
Here are a few unexciting pics. All that rats nest of wire on the driver's side will be gone!
