Here she is sat on the snowflakes

Car is pretty much back together now I want to replace the side window seals and scrapers and put the chrome surround on grill

Also got very bad running issues but I think it's down to the carb. I've got just under a month to sort it for the Agm

How she's looking at the moment:

The car looks awesome mate if mine comes back from the spray shop as nice then i will be a happy man!!!  Good luck with the running issues to

Its looking great mate and you've done really well, we will get it running sweet before AGM :-)

right mnaged to sort out the running issues, was the timing but i think its over feuling as its using so much petrol think the carb needs adjusting but im not gonna temp fate 3 days beforethe agm

ive been meaning to uplad these for a while heres a few before and after pics:

During Respray:






















How it looks now:





Ive since invested in an XL wind deflector and Im replacing the seals and scrapers round the side windows at the moment, gonna get a chrome surround for the grill, sort out the worn drivers bolster and maybe over winter replace the vinyl roof with a new mohair then call it a day and maybe invest in a tintop project

Scott

looking soooo good :-)

Very nice mate

The respray looks great on your cab m8  :wink: makin' me sway towards a winter cabbie project lol!

How much would a spray like that cost nowadays?

Really like the interior in this one, great work!
Where did therearvseats with headrests come from, - I want!

will16v - thanks! i was well chuffed with how it turned out, having a cab is wicked brought it with me to work today its in the car park with the roof down waiting for home time
the paint cost me £1200 but that was that included prep work, masking, paint, laubour etc + new windscreen and dropping it back to my door.

and r32guy the seats were just a tintop rear bench modified to have headrests and retrimmed in leather, but i sold them cus they never fit properly and was too crowded in the back of a cabby

What kind off money are you going to spend.

Always nice to see someone elses car in bits lol,i didnt think i would ever finish mine! Well i dont think i did really coz its about to undergo its third stint under the knife :roll: Just love the cabbys i wanted one since i was five,had it 9 years now and could never imagine parting with it :punk:

Hey Bud, awesome looking Cabby, great to see from how its evolved! Just out of interest, where did you get the front bumper indicators, been trying to find some decent ones for ages!

Ash  

Hi thanks mate
the clear indicators were actually quite hard to find, all the ones on ebay and i could find brand new were for small bumpers, i got lucky and found a pair for sale on this forum

Scott

Little update on what ive been upto.
One of my indicatores fell off but thats fixed now ive replaced the roof seals, tightened roof handles ready for winter. now the water is staying on the outside of the car!

ive also bought new inner door locks + rear drums and shoes
