I'd suggest that you PM Brad Roberts. He sells a custom wiring harness for Spec Boxters that eliminates everything but what's absolutely needed to run the car. Then all you'll have to do is to interface the rest of your custom car to the inputs of the wiring harness and you *should* be able to get it all working.

I don't mean to make it sound simple - its still going to be a ton of work. In my experience, the hard part is matching signal types, voltage ranges (does +12vdc mean off or on? How am I supposed to know that?), etc - but at least someone else will have done the hard part in figuring out what to keep and what can be thrown out and you will have some assurance that if you can get it interfaced correctly, it should work when you're done.
