Re: wiring-
I have a nice Fluke DMM. I'll follow the same protocol we use when powering up machines running 208vac and 480vac. Pre-power up: Check resistance to ground for each individual circuit at a time by closing CB's (or installing fuses). Same when powering up; one circuit at a time.
An early notch is on my dream car list. Sunroof would just be icing... I have a saved search for them on a CL app. Have to resist every time they come up! Also have a folder full of T3 pics and surf the Samba regularly.
