   Hi ive stripped out my interior and looking to remove all the un-need wiring, how do i go about this to i just follow it back to source and pull them out.. or cut them as close as i can get?
   
   Any advice or a thread link would be good!
   
   
   Thanks

   as yo said follow to block and remove, or cut, if possible pull out the fuse to the circuit you cut, and some insulating tape wouldnt go a miss.

   take the complete loom out and trace it all back to do a proper/neat job wouldnt risk cutting it all,looks a mess and a nightmare if you get any problems in the future etc if dead/unused wires are still in the loom
   
   or if its a vt* etc loom just get a loom from a forte or base spec modle has fuck all but the basics on them if you wonna strip futher than that ie no radio/heaters etc it would be a lot easyer to trace back etc

   rob was right about tracing the loom back but the way its wired you will have to cut some wires
