The link I provided has the details on the wire harness front and rear from Doc Don for $5.....unless one wants to solder

They are pretty straight shooters. I have purchased very low mileage cars in the past and they all looked fantastic and the idea of it is fabulous but they all needed some TLC, some more than others. Good luck with it
I concur that it is not only hard to find someone near by to work on the ZR-1 it can also be expensive if an issue arises as in some rare situations. My 95' had an electrical issue under the plenum that kept blowing the INJ1 fuse (car was dead shortly after starting). Now after removing the plenum about five or six times (I have TB Coolant blocked) I finally soldered all original splices on main wire harness behind the drivers side Cam Cover and placed all wiring under plenum in separate split loom red tubing. Now that would have been expensive for sure to pay for labor and diagnostics. Oh.....ya....No More INJ1 fuses blowing
