Hey guys,

Getting alot of attention where ever we go, but now for phase 2 and an important one, need some wiring done, as with the old cars that is also a mission. So, can anyone recommend somebody that is in the know.

Please help as i would like Herbie back on the road asap.

Thanks, and remember I am on the East Rand!

Thanks again!

Cheers

Hi neil, pitty about the wiring. Just saw on 66 looker/eugene's build that he got new style fuse box from volkspares. I would say get one and change that with yours and 90% of your wiring woes will be gone.
