Some one has been messing with the ignition wires, the magic purple wire that was mentioned that was right on the nail! and the solenoid click on accessories

Some pictures to try help workout what's been done

Ok, all you have to do is cut the smaller red wire off the pink, cut the larger red wire off the purple and the black off the purple, Then join the two purple ones back together. You might have to extend the purple to reach each other now. That’s all you have to do to get that thing out of the pic.
Do me one thing, when this relay and stuff is removed can you get 12v say from the big uncut red wire in the ign plug and use a bit of wire jump it to the purple bit in the main loom side? This should cause the starter to engage providing the rest of the loom is still ok.

Awesome

Some better pictures

So from what your saying and looking at the other loom the solenoid did not exist original right?

I had a look around at the wiring and found this plug, it has pink wires similar to pink ignition wire. but I'm pretty sure it had nothing plugged into it on the part car.
