Jonn has been working on our 1975 Volkswagen Beetle. He started by stripping and removing the nearside window regulator, which was found to be worn out. He fitted a larger washer to secure the nearside seat trim and painted it black for a clean finish. He also secured the nearside door mirror.
Jonn then undid both front seatbelts, untwisted them, and resecured them. He burned off the frayed edges and lubricated the belts with silicon spray to improve retraction. Next, he fitted the front number plate to the bumper, removing the old fixing plate, measuring and drilling for the new plate, and securing it in place. Any exposed bolts were painted as needed.
He fabricated a custom bracket to secure the battery, painted it black, and fitted it securely. Wiring hanging near the pedals, identified as speaker wires with no front speakers installed, was tucked neatly behind the dashboard. Jonn inflated the spare tyre before looking at the washers, but the washers did not work upon testing.
To resolve the issue, Jonn traced the pipe to the column switch, which appeared fine. He removed the steering wheel, bent the contact at the switch slightly for better functionality, and retested. Afterwards, the washers worked as intended. He then refitted and secured the steering wheel. Final checks confirmed that both the horn and washers were working correctly.
