Now that I have my van its time to start thinking about improvements! As I am currently completely broke (I bought a van.. tends to deplete funds rather drastically!) I am focusing on fixing the stuff already in the van. This starts with the extremely interesting electrical system that the previous owner has left me with. Wow! What am impressive maze of cables, switches and joins! I'm surprised the car hasn't caught fire yet! I must admit I'm a little fearful of delving deeper into this wire nest he has created. For the most part my knowledge of electricity is knowing to turn off the light switch before changing a light bulb... And I feel that even that rule can be occasionally broken. The encouraging thing is that I can only be shocked by a 12V car battery. That doesn't pack much of a punch does it? Oh, I should probably Google that to make sure... I haven't yet attempted touching the electrics as yet, I'm blaming the cold miserable weather for not wanting to hang out in the back of my van playing with wires. I know this is merely an excuse to hide my terror in facing those wires. I think I'd rather thoroughly scrub the car clean than trace a dodgy wire along the van's body to see where and how its connected!
