wbx bug works again!

 i went to somero, with some new battery cables etc to fix that pesky little bug, nutlike i earlier thought, that the problem is with the ground, so i dismantled the battery cable and put wire back in the cable shoe, and the extra wires very tight, and suddenly there was power in the battery. and now it even starts, and runs, and i drove it. i also made it to the cottage, and it was the best day, in a month. yesterday, i picked up a turn signal switch, but looks like it isn't like the original part. but have to check youtube for some help. 

if i got it working again - that might be the biggest issue for that bug, one brake bulb needs to be changed too, and the exhaust needs some welding but then its inspection time. and the turbo kit is getting better all the time. but that's another story.

 Some good and some bad, the bad things first, theres a broken front axle there. and some rust holes too, and the engine coolant is leaking... BUT the good thing is that the leak is an easy fix, changing merely one gasket. (maybe changing the whole wasser-pump ...could be wise) ...the axle can be welded, or getting a new one. rust holes are always bad, as i haven't seen them yet. good thing is that the start-up will be at this week, maybe in 24 hours. i hope that the long block aint broken... but will see and you will hear.
