Hi All,
After some thought I've decided to hang on to my mate Bill (1970 VW Bug) and see if I can get it up to a higher standard than what it is currently...........mind you, a lot has been done on it "looks wise' i.e. full body off repaint, full upholstery, roof lining, upgrade motor to 1776cc, disk brakes to front and lot's of other bits and pieces. I've tried to keep him as standard as much of I can.
I'd like to use him a bit more but am concerned with 3 things that I'd like to get some advice on these 3 issues:
- Electrical wiring/ lights are an absolute mess. Spaghetti everywhere and headights are very dull. I'm thinking of getting it all updated but am not capable of doing it myself. Anyone have any idea of the cost this may be set me back to have it done professional and any recommendation as to who I could talk to?
- Heating system is stuffed !! Is it worthwhile trying to fix this or is it just too hard ?? Again, any suggestions in regards to costs and mechanic who could help with this would be appreciated.
- Front/ rear suspension and steering. All pretty loose at the moment. I'm not interested in any height adjustments or anything. Just want to feel a bit safer going around corners and a little less banging and bumping from underneath 😂 Open to suggestions here ??
I'm located in north Brisbane area and would welcome any recommendation as to who people may think I could talk to about these things in detail.
