VW Info, Parts and Restoration

Thursday is what my wife lovingly refers to as double cab night. This is the night if the week that is singled out to work on double cabs and such. On this glorious night me and a close friend get together and work on our own Volkswagens (Me on my 1961 double cab and him on him on his 1955 VW Spring frame). Starting directly after work this will usually take us into the wee-hours of the night and more times then not into Friday morning. This makes for some interesting Fridays at work. We both have a lot of work to do so we can get these on the road but on the whole it is a lot of fun and for some reason we cant seem to get enough of it. Last week we worked on getting the electrical done on my 61 double cab. Any of you that have worked on old Volkswagen electrical know that it can be a simple fix or you rewire the whole thing and it still doesn’t work properly, rarely is it something in-between. The funny thing abut this situation is that the only thing that wasn’t working was the rear driver side blinker. After 6 hr of working on it we found that the problem was the ground. Buy the way that was the first thing that we check when we started. We just did not check it out properly.
