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

Re: Herbie, The Love Bug Replica Project
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.

Wow, Herbie looks fantastic. I agree, those Rostyles look great. Love the interior custom paintjob.
Well done to all involved.
