Leeroy, cheers mate I think you've spotted most of my needs in the one area (Moorabbin) which is great as I only live 10 mins away. Nothing wrong with being lazy, it allows more time for tinkering!
Sideshow, I've got the American Autowire Highway 15 kit but I need all the terminators for my headlight and tail light lamps which come pre-terminated with those brass bullets. But you're dead right, painless/etc is the way to go. The Highway 15 kit is superb value for money and really easy to work with.
Thanks again for all the help today guys.
