    Splicing cables together for @innovatemotors mtx wideband O2 sensor & gauge- but there are identical colour signal wires and can’t find multimeter to check – make diy continuity meter with battery & tiny motor :)wires are common – all fixed and sealed – next install in #vwt3 doka

    Failed Dizzy in the T3 Westie?

    Installing 4.2lites of#wbx power in the #vwt3 doka – in preparation for an engine swap tomorrow – like installing bunk bed engines… Then run the doka and engine thru the jet wash then onto prep with new water pump, gaskets, studs, clutch and flywheel … had fun building up the swap engine in the bed…

  • Fixed the T3 double slider with a spoon… #dublife

    Out in the grey #vwt3 race van for the first time in a few months for a shakedown – it broke down – dead starter motor – possible sticky solenoid- unfortunately forgot to take tools so fixed it with a spoon from the #westfalia kitchen drawer… #dublife
