I love the og wheels gota be wrapped in white walls though, thought about painting the vw logo black in the centre of the domes as ive seen it before and thought it looked good, any thoughts, thanks Dean
 
Well today wired the brake lights that went well cant beleive you just need to take the centre wire off the back of the hazard warning lights switch then run a new wire off that to the lights, got out the electrians rods and run it in the chassis leg along side the loom 8) , then got the horn working the earth had come off the spade connector under the sterring column 8) , so that was every thing working on the bus and running, but remembered i hadnt tested the windowscreen washers, i didnt know they worked by pressure so filled the water up, wired in a cigarette lighter cause ive only got a cigarette lighter electrical car tyre pump, pressurise the water bottle and BANG :x , bloodly hose spilt behind the dash, water everywere, so got the clocks out and it had spilt right on the back of the switch, luckly had enough lenght to cut it and connect it up again, job done, well suprised how good they are :D , got the complete new seal kit on the pop top and started putting curtins in, need some new cips though so ordered them from just kampers, mot next week me thinks,Thanks Dean
