Whats behind the grill on the buddy seat? escape hatch maybe............?

:lol: Just

:mrgreen:

There was a massive aircon unit built into the buddy seat, it weighed a ton. I will be replacing the grill at some point, but my bro will be making the major decisions on this now. Watch this space. :roll:

Well Faux, It is a sad moment for the family , Moose has been sold and will be going in the next couple of days. One bonus is it is going to a local family who live around the corner and will look after her and we can pop in and visit. Also handy to have somone in the area so we can share the VW obsession with :lol:

Sad to see Moose go, glad to hear it will be close by still.

A couple of bits done today:

Headlights/front sidelights working.
Washer bottle and jets fitted
Sunvisor fitted
Cab mats fitted
One disk changed
Wiper motor wired up (one spindle seized......have a spare in the garage somewhere!)

I need to order a few parts this weekend.

Back to it on Monday.

Looking Good

 

[nags WolVeK]

lookin very good
this is now becoming unbearable your teasing us :wink:

 

[faux]

Hi Bro! :mrgreen:

I am hoping that Dave gets it in for the MOT today. Everything is done, hazards did stop working again but I assume this is one of the wires which I reconnected before and a bit of a tune up on the engine.

Fingers crossed. :wink:

 

[nags WolVeK]

all limbs are crossed

 

[faux]

I haven't heard anything so I assume it will be another day of waiting.

 

[nags WolVeK]

your just teasing us now :wink: starting to get excited now, were like big kids.

Come on Jon!! Did you sort the main beam out? I know Simon is havin problems getting his main beam sorted on his 71. Looks like a combo of the relay and spagetti wiring

 

[faux]

Hi Daz

Sorted main beam. The GSF relay didn't work, I put the old one back in and retraced the wiring to find a loose wire. I am hoping to have it sorted tomorrow, but it is out of my hands now.
