Wow… I read all that believe it or not… 😎 Thank you Chad for all the info!!! I hope this can go as smoothly as possible!!!
Wiring was “ok” It may have worked, but it is so messy I have to work on it, Little things like the main coil wire was fused, thats not how vw did it.. If you blow a fuse on the keyed circuit your car shouldn’t stop dead in it’s tracks… 😎 😎 That might be inconvenient… 😎 I see you have this three wire late model turn signal switch… “Euro”…never seen one 😎 8-). So that’s why you have the trailer harness in there? For the brake light circuit, that is seperate from the t-signal circuit. 😎 and the extra wires for what? Gauges I reckon.. if your gonna run irs, you’ll probably want a shit ton of gauges too… 😎 😎 😎 The ambulance fan power wire looks to be run through a voltage drop, but was hooked up to your running light circuit… 😎 😎 And the ground situation was getting out of hand… 😎 😎 Like I said it may have worked.. but you would have to remember your ambulance fans would only work if your lights were on, and them two motors probably draw enough current to blow the running light circuit, and if you hooked it to your ignition curcuit, it might have blown that too, leaving you stopped… 😎 😎 I’ll get ya fixed right up!! 😎
Proud and Stubborn 👍🏻

Electrical: Thanks for looking at it John, make it JJ approved! I know the guy that wired it for me ran a couple “spare” wires for whatever. Not planning on any gauges beyond stock. I’m hoping to not even hook up the EFI monitor, or at least not permanently.
Looking at the vin tag this morning. It appears this bus would be a late December 65 chassis number 236 095 *** being about 3000 to the start of January production…. doing the math it appears that VW produced about 509 busses a day ….So we’re about 6-ish days back from the end of the month, making this a true Christmas bus.
Franz printed up the inst. for me. Thanks for getting those so quick!
Drilled and mounted hinges to the roof. Bolted the basics up to make sure it all worked.
Wooo!!!!
We will build it if it comes.
We went through all of the boxes and haven’t come across any component sets…?
JJ started on safari assy yesterday.
Stripped the top of parts for paint prep.
The plastic coating on the handle was cracking so I pealed it off and welded up the ends. It will be painted with the top.
Riley is bead blasting little parts this morning.
We will build it if it comes.
