Apologies for lack of recent updates, a personal family tragedy has recently happened, which puts all things VW onto the back burner and into perspective in the greater scheme of things!

after much fun and games (not!), the engine goes in

Anyway, things have still been progressing as various issues get addressed, the main one being the engine! It was running sort of OK-ish, but not brilliantly, so ideally I would want to get it re-built.

Unfortunately, this would take some time to get it booked in and done and would therefore hold up progress on getting the Early Bay Westfalia camper sorted in terms of electrics, MOT, UK registration etc.

However, I am very fortunate to have a good friend (many thanks Ollie!) who has very kindly lent me their spare/back up 1600 cc engine so that progress can continue…

The previous birds nest of electrics has been stripped and re-wired

So further progress has been made and the previous birds nest of 12v electrics has been gone through and re-wired so that everything now works as it should!

To help keep the period/vintage look, the all red rear brake/indicator lights have been kept, but are now just wired up as brake lights and the reversing lights turned into the rear indicators, neat trick!
