Default 1981 242 TI wiring help please

I bought this car as a project for my dad and I. We didn’t think the wiring would be an issue.rats chewed up the wiring on the driver side fender area. I tried to find a harness to buy, new and used and cannot find anywhere. I’m trying to find a place with legible maps/ guides but I can’t seem to understand it. Is there anyone that knows where I can find this info? It seems I’ll have to rewire, which I don’t mind but need some help as to what goes where. Thank u in advance

Have no clue as to where these go. The diagrams I’m finding online aren’t helping much.

Is this for a 1981 242 turbo?

If you open it it is a wiring diagram for a '93 which is quite a bit different from your car as they had different fuel injection systems.

Hey man,
If you look on the diagrams it shows some 1985-1991 wiring diagrams that's different from the 93 wiring.

my memory tells me it does not have wiring for a turbo.

I would use it as a guide to show you what colour wire is what. Especially in that fender area. But please double check a few connections to make sure there are no big differences.

I am not familiar with other year models and their major wiring differences if any.
