Add an extra earth with a jump lead or some such and see if it makes a difference...

The front body loom earth is at a point on the front crossmember near where the steady bar is, sounds like you have damaged it. It's 4 or 5 large ring eyes on black cables, held to the crossmember with a large no.3 Pozi screw. Also sounds like you may have knocked something off the fusebox while working. It would be easier if you told us what car it is, the wiring changed many times over the years.
