If I had to re-wire a Mk1...

[nealtovsen@yahoo.com (Neal Tovsen)]

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". That's my motto.
Even though I pulled every scrap of wiring out of the
'77, I didn't replace much of anything when it went
back in...and that car hasn't run since '92. With a
couple of exceptions that were easy to fix, everything
worked pretty darn good. The only problems I had
weren't in the wiring, but in the switches and the
cluster.
