Started with the wiring on some the instruments

Are all those screws part of the bus? I hope you know where they all go. LOL

LOL, no that is not for the DC, that comes out of my screw can.

awesome.............man I love your DC.......................keep it up........

Thanks FFF

Here is some more work done on it, battling with the waterpipes as the PO did a hack job of pipeing, now waiting for one new pipe from the workshop then i can ad water, oja and a new water expantion tank.

man I want your DC..................what's the going rate on a running DC?

You can get a good one for anything from 16k to 30k.Here in PE I know of an abandoned project that is going for 16k.

lol, found out this weekend that the only way I'm going to get another project through the doors is if it can do it under it's own power.............lol.

Well there is another one here,in very good condition,running well,for 35k.

My budget stretches to about 15K.

fff i saw one standing the other day there in Zambesi rylaan for R13500, did not stop to look at it

I saw that one a while ago, but man it's been butcherd, I'd rather have a sad looking running one.......than have that one.

Okay so the Dc was standing for a few months, and i did 0 nothing F$%@#$%all to it, (dem cow that cept me busy and my wallet bussy on the POLO) so now yesterday i washed it again as the dust was nearly a inch thick on it, i have moved it back into the double garage and i fitted its new steering wheel from the 2007 model chico, actualy got the steering wheel for the polo but decided to put it in the DC - ja ja i know this is wortless without pictures, i will take some pictures this afternoon, i had a look at its wireing and man, there is one big FU$##up, and i know zults about the origenal wireing and its codes and all, even consulted the workshopmanual, but i do not anderstand German, he he he he, so i strongly think of fetching my sidecutters and clean out all the wires in the DC and do the wireing like i did with the buggy, only one thing that is troubling my mind is how do you couple the electric fan up to a temperature switch, but i think i will take it step by step, sort out first all the tail and emergency lights, then the headlamps and then the viper moter and water bottle, then i will do the heater fan and radiator fan. then i will do the engine then last i will do all the instrementation on the dash.

You not the only one who has a tangled mess of wiring. I'm also tempted to rip out all of the wiring fro m my Fastback, but my neighbour who is a qualified auto electrician insists that there's no need to and that he can figure it out.

I'm sure that the DC isn't that complicated to wire up considering that there's no fuel injection etc?
