VW-1500 M265 on the streets again!


Ahhhhh so good to have the car registered and on the road for some local cruise's.

So far nothing has proven a problem with it such as brakes etc.

I suppose with only 300-400 miles on the car since it was built in about 2000/2001, it's not exactly knackered and has less mileage than my new MK7 Golf I bought in February which has 4000 km on it now!

Wiring 99% completed on the 1500 'S'

Amazing how quickly the car is now being assembled with the headliner now complete. it almost looks complete in this photo except for the carpets and perhaps the radio once that has been gone through (again) and installed.


As can be seen there are now ZERO loose wires hanging down below the dash which is fantastic.


Next step is to install fuses and test the circuits one by one. I still might replace the globes in the car with LED's me thinks (6v) just as I have already done with the dash bulbs. I think modifications like that are a bit of a no brainer in order to maximise the light output with the 6v.

Another update shortly to show the headlining which was completed before these images but not sure where they are right now.
