Not much posted here so here's what we did last weekend:

Rob, Lee, Amber, Amber's dog, and I went to the Gilmore last weekend and camped on-site for a couple of nights for a double show- Saturday was the German car show, Sunday was a British car show. They had 600 cars last year for the German show ...

Not many posts here lately, much of what I've been working on is non-VW but we did do Rob's propane tank lately, and I wrote an article for the COVVC paper so I'll post it here:

I'm a freeze baby. Both of my buses have great heat and I wouldn't have it any other way...

I'm pretty impressed Marla was able to complete this by herself, very few owners would be able to install a harness and make things work correctly.

Great job!

I wrote a bunch of articles on this for the COVVC rag and sent several of them to Marla. I'll paste some of the important stuff here:

"I just finished a repair job in my shop, it’s a 50’s VW that someone (several owners previous) replaced the wiring harness in. The car had not been driven in many ...
