Well here in Northern California it has been dry for the past two months, the
afternoons have been pretty fair  and it has been a good time to catch up on
some old Vanagon installs I have been putting off. I installed a Hella air horn,
 I put it and and the compressor up on the right front in back of the stock
mount but tucked away from the road spray. The darn thing is really loud and I
am not at  all sure it is a good idea. I wish the pitch was a lot lower and I
may rework it but hey at least I can scare off small wild life or so I hope. I
also installed new shocks, only third time in 28 years, a new muffler also third
in 28 years. I got the rear bench seat foam replaced with high density foam. Now
when we go camping we can be a little kinder to are rear ends. Last but not
least I am installing a power amp for my radio ipod player which has a audio
input jack that we can connect to our dvd player and watch movies on if it is
too cold  or wet to be out side. I have two 8" woofers/mid range and two 5"by 2"
horn tweeters  so the sound is pretty sweet. All of this stuff was been waiting
for a long time until I got around to it. I am going to power it off the Aux.
Battery. We hope to go camping soon up on Hwy 1. O and it looks like I can get
access to those Leds on my heater controls  by removing  the instrument cluster
or am I wrong?
