Nice  

cheers peeps  

first of all cool car love it  .  ive just bought a 92 clipper nice body kit leather seats looks good but i work in electronics & really dont know anything about cars starting to learn with manuel . fluid in motor in boot for hood is under min dont know where or what to fill it up with advice would be must appreciated .. just starting out on the classic car love it  but help welcome cheers you must have a happy missus with a nice cab like that

dont realy know that much my self but the folk on heer are great and they will help you out big time .im not to shure where you put the oil my self  ops: i would take it it would be the big nut on top but i might be wrong as for the oil there was a btl of power steering fluid in my boot when i got the car the part no is g002 000 so as the caby hasent got power steering i take it thats what im ment to use  ops:  any way cheers for the coments and if you put up a post in the fourm about that then i think some one on heer would know more than me lol

to top up the hood fluid you have to undo the nut on top of the pump in the boot and fill it to max with the roof up (i think!!) then work it up and down a few times and let it settle and check the level again.

As a follow Cabby owner I am Lovin the work thats been done! 8)

Got any further plans?

Nice job - good transformation!

just fitted the mirror adjusters
from this


to this


the plans for the cabby is realy just to get it running and looking to as near as new as pos with just a few mods  ops:  to make it a bit diffrent  from other cabbys as there is 3  white ones that run about up heer .then hope fully get to some meets and shows over the summer and get to meet some off yous on heer  

looking good mate my old seats look alot better in there  8)

Car looks fab!!!  I hope your wife gets many happy years of driving it  

caddyman they are sooo nice and totaly change the car they make it look a lot younger than it is  

anji she has only driven once  ops:  the locks where being a bit off a pain in the bum and kept on jaming but i just got new one today and now its all sorted    i have driven it a good few time and its one off the best cars i have driven even with the auto box   so i hope she starts to drive it now  

Trust me, as soon as the car is up and ready and your wife has driven it …. she will find that her bum becomes welded to the drivers seat, her feet will become attached to the pedals and her left hand will weld itself to the gearstick.  Well … it happened to me when I drove mine  ops:

well she has been driving it now and she loves it  

i done a we install for her just a fast one ill do a real one in the summer for her  to go with the seats but this will do for now .i just showed her it after she got back from work and she realy likes it and the  sound of it is great    heers a few pics

before




and after

what price do yous think i should sell it for :cry:

sell the other car & keep this one

 

lol

Shame about the job situation, if at all possible may be worth trying to hold onto the cab until closer to summer even if it's sorn (if you have off road parking) as they are not selling for a great deal at the moment.

Good luck whatever you do.
