What did you do with your early bay today

[VeeDubMan]

(is it me- I can't see the pics on your thread, would love to see the van!)

Think I posted them on Facebook some time ago and the links are now dead/they changed. When I get time, I'l re-post to somewhere more permanent!

With a thorough run through of the electrical on my 68, I can finally stop cursing the PO and his :x "handywork." It seems at one time the flasher and signal relays were replaced with a late bay switches, relays and even partial wiring harness ... what a flippin mess under the dash! It took me days to sort through different wiring diagrams and to identify original, late bay and non-VW wires and relays. All in all he really buggered up the clutch, Bowden tube, multiple parts on the engine and hopefully the electrical was the last. All is good and will soon be back on the road after a little lower metal work.

Glad you got it sorted madmike. Makes us appreciate our buses, effort and new skills even more

Last night I replaced the steering coupling with a new OE one from M7 and started to scrape off some of the peeling stonechip ready for some fresh underseal, this afternoon a new gearshift coupling is being fitted and will be removing the new alloys to fit some narrower front tyres! Exciting stuff!

I installed some of my BugoRama swap meet finds.

New to me original tire cover.



Swamp cooler.



Hubby lost a little leg room, but he only rides in it when we go to lunch so not that big of a deal.



I would have put it between the seats but that is where my cup holder is and there isn't enough space between it and my seat. Starbucks overrides being cool. LOL I know it came with cup holders, but don't think they will do much good these days. LOL

LOL Yah, definitely will come in handy over here in the 100 degree weather. Luckily I work for a grocery store so I can buy a bag of ice to dump in it before I leave work. Will be nice an cool on the drive home.

Ha I was there too, briefly (I'm from Llanasa). Loved your bus – and that Karmann Ghia if that was yours?

Seriously contemplating selling the bus and joining the dark side
Need more room and less worrying about what job needs doing next

Sad times
