I see you're on here with all your mates, Dave.
Wiring looks nice.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Pretty happy with the wiring been testing as I go along
Will power it up when I get back from hols and do a full function test before I mount the body back on the chassis, easier to adjust if necessary
