okay so blinkers didn't work so got them fixed... I swear if I see another splice connector done wrong I'm gonna scream there was about a dozen wires that were done very wrong

Welcome to the VW club!! You've encountered the electric nightmare that all VWs have :P

[hannahheart]

is it a rule that if your going to sell a VW to the strange things to the electrical first?

I just saw this amazing VW Bug camper trailer from the '70s, and I totally thought of you.

My advise on the wiring is get rid of the old spaghetti system of wiring and buy a cheap predone harness and just rewire everything with fresh new wire. I'm still fighting the stock harness on my 63... I should replace it with the one I bought been waiting for nice weather though.

Fair warning with it being a 1970 the front end will need re-enforced if you're going to take it offroad and be a little rough with it.

I'm trying to restore it I'm not out for a offroad thingey and most the weiring is in great shape so I've fixed it.

The body looks very good overall, and the rear battery tray can be bought new. :)
