its fusebox day today!
After a few days of various problems, rear lights, front lights, etc,
I have decided to tackle the main fusebox rebuild. Problems have been diagnosed, as water is in the fusebox, and time for it to come out!
If anyone has any helpful hints, tips, etc, i will be grateful
I will be near the computer all day, Once i get the thing out of the car!!

You have probably already seen this Donnie but:

I had the battery side box apart recently and had to "lose the fear" before I started. Think that one is more straight forward though!
Make sure it doesn't rain on it when you have it all apart 
Good luck!

i did the battery side fusebox last year, with my brother present, a marine electrical engineer.... so it wasnt daunting at all...
However, im all alone on this one, and the main fusebox is twice the size!
AND its raining today!
hope to get the nose of the car into the garage before i start
