My cabby clean up

Managed to get hold of a manual roof frame with a black vinyl hood so swapped out the old power frame and blue hood/ripped liner. Definitely suits the grey more and doesn't leak!

Nice one. Looks cool.    

So it's been a while but back to it, I've had the dash out, replaced some broken clips, sorted the radio out and removed about 10 metres of excess extra wiring along with an old antenna cable.

I've also stripped the interior out, carpets up and shampooed and amazing found not a single patch of rust!

Carpet all clean and back in.

I've also changed the coil overs that were on it back to original gear as I was fed up of the crashy ride. I think it also sits better too.
Got the steels ready for some tyres.


And have got hold of a new six bolt manifold and down pipe to get rid of the stupid toilet bowl system.

Good going buddy, it looks great :-)

Getting excited for the next bit if work to do to the golf, here's a quick sneaky peak at a small bit of what's to come…

Ready for paint.

just had a flick through and your cab is looking loveley

i have the same hub caps on my car and they polish up nice would get yours on with the steels if your going for the standard look

oh and you drive that thing like a gangsta!!

 

Thanks, am trying to get it nice and tidy for the summer. I have a busy weekend planned unless the garage has blown away. 

Yes am thinking of the steelies going on or I might have some scala snowflakes coming to me.

It's the only way to drive!  or at least get to the pedal box to change cables over.

And so with an early start, some horrid weather and rugby forcing an early finish not a lot has been done.

But here are the picture updates

Started making a move on replacing as many rusty nuts and bolts with stainless ones

Put the rear windscreen back in

And fitted the new interior





And changed the window winders and door handles with chrome ones

After

Looking good matey. Keep the pics coming

Smudger

Next job, filler neck, exhaust and the 'in thing' of tidying up the boot with some black lining carpet and some 3mm neoprene to go behind the carpet to give it a nice soft touch.

Boot cards out and lined with neoprene ready for black carpeting.

Before

Good going and boot cards make such a difference covered. As I have just done mine and chuffed with the results.

Keep up the good progress :-)

New toys

Just a bit of elbow grease going to be needed on these!

Boot all done


Vinyl rear seat card


Start of wheel polishing


And the rear interior finished


Along with a new filler neck in and it's been a busy busy day
