Re: Herbie, The Love Bug Replica Project
Im battling my but off with the wiring. I dont think its the alarm. Every time i touch a wire it breaks at the terminals. Its really brittle. Wish i had another week with the bug to sort the wiring properly.

You need to get a set of full red rear lenses. That would look cool!
