No, the alternator wire runs to the distribution block on the drivers side, from there it runs through the ignition switch fusible link back to the battery..........if you run a wire from the back straight to the battery you will bypass the block..............in short, if you need to remove the positive lead with the engine running it will keep running...........found this out when I had an ECU fault!
In saying so I can't see a problem with it..........just make sure you keep the factory wire in place.
Cheers mate. So if i just add a 4 gauge power wire from alt (+) to battery (+), and leave the factory wire where it is, it should be sweet?

good job mate.
if it was my car i would remove door handles, locks, molds etc
pretty much strip it down makes it easy to buff as well no oversprays.
i see your using star gun .
i only use star guns for primer or (GMH black) black paint used for underbody of car or guide coat for
primer.
i find star gun loads the material on even if you adjust the needle for less material.
other words you will get a heavy peel look and lots of buffing will be needed.
but it gets job done
some of you probably disagree im ok with anyone opinion.
all the best
Your right it did need a lot of buffing. I think i could get it looking better with a bit more too. I did it well over a year ago now though. Thought about removing all the little things like door handles but i only had under a week to do it and just got it done. Was my only car back then. I would have liked to have had a better gun to spray with but wasn't really worth the expenditure. Like you said though, got the job done. But definitely could have been done better.
