I do like a Caravelle or a California. This T5.1 California was a very high spec. Unfortunately the sat nav seemed to have got itself a bit stuck, so the customer wanted to upgrade but not lose all the factory features.

This is the Kenwood DMX8021DABS fitted using the correct wiring harness to keep all those factory options on that screen. Also gives the user WiFi for wireless Apple Carplay or Android Auto, DAB and FM radio, USB and HDMI inputs and up to 4 camera inputs. Even managed to retain the factory reverse camera along with the optical parking sensors.

Also using the 3D printed USB and HDMI from

Returning customer back for an upgrade. Change out the Slick speakers to the Slick SQ's and the Vibe Slick 10" underseat subwoofer mounted in the boot.

A lovely meet in Bentley Bridge with WVVW today, first time I've taken the Rallye to one.

Looking forward to the Midlands Dub Klub meet at Chase water in Brownhills tomorrow.

Well she's finally driven home after a few years of being a trailer queen.

I can't believe I built this car in this single garage. Started 19 years ago, probably took 6.5 years of evenings and weekends to build. So glad I can now just jump in and go for a drive.

Well that was another fun build. A 1974 VW Karmann Ghia California import. Someone had previously done a Pioneer install of stereo and some 4" and 5" coaxials under the dash and cut into the back seat.

So I went with a similar setup to the beach buggy from earlier this year, a full Vibe Black Air build with an Audiotec Fischer Match UP8DSP. I used the vw3dprinting front pod to house the front tweeters and mid woofers with the URC.3 and a remote switch. As someone had already cut the rear seats and you can't really get a person in the back I went with that. I had to enlarge the holes for the 6" coaxials and then cut the centre for the subwoofer. Past the point of no return.

Then all tuned using the Audiotec Fischer software.
