Groovejunk's MK I Cabby project

I wish my IT fixes could be that simple!  

On wit the next parts for the MOT. Exhaust and the shaft sleeve. Then hitting ebay.de for some goodies.

Need some chrome work for the cabby  

09:25 : waiting for a fellow MK1 driver that will bring me my new wheels…

Later on some photo's of fitting the wheels.  

And here are the pictures!

First with some 40mm adapters at the rear :





That wasn't a big success…. So fitted with some 30mm adapters :





That's a bit better, but not satisfied though. I will buy some 25mm adapters for the rear and 20mm for the front.

9J wheels at the rearend and 8J at the front.

*starting ebay.de*

Let me know what you guys think!  Edit : if you open the pics in original URL they will be 90 degrees rotated and normal to view..

Looks great mate. Nice rims

Thank you! I'm very happy with my new wheels. Only need some converters and wheel bolts.

After doing some more research with my steering column and handles, I found out that my wipers weren't always working also.. Bad for the MOT.
So I ordered myself a set of handles of an MKII with MFA.
Will fit it tomorrow as I'm way to busy with my work.  

If everything goes well, my mechanic will do the rest for the MOT tomorrow evening.

Fingers crossed!

Also ; with a bit of luck my adapters wil arrive this weekend, my wheel bolts and some more stuff to mount my wheels.

Can't wait! Let the sunshine begin. Damn rain here in the Netherlands!

..and she passed MOT today!

Still waiting for some parts to mount my C2's though…  

Congrats on the new MOT, Those wheels look lovely mate!!

Nice car.

I too had the same problem with the horn and was going to suggest it but you beat me to it - by 2 weeks!!! Ha!

There some mighty fine looking wheels, I like the direction you are going with it!!

Thanks all!

Today I will pick her up again and if it's not raining I will do some updates to en shoot some pics as you all love photo's I guess.

I need to polish my daily also. Hard work 2 cars and no garage!    

Did some minor thing today and gave her a wash after that.

Old :



And a fresh refurbished by me :



And as promised, the MKII handles :



Why do all resizers rotate the pictures?  

Did a testfit with the new 25mm adapter.. Really… I need a 30mm at the rear. 25mm is to small and the alloy touches the suspension.    

       

Some bad quality pics, but you'll get the idea  

Nice!!!!!!!!!

Smart looking rims mate. Any plans to adjust the suspension?

yes, I need some new coil overs  / suspension. The ones that I have now are garbage!

But first the exhaust. Appointment is made and it will be fitted on the 19th. Can't wait!

@ Sallyandsean : thanks!

Not much, but a little update..  



And a photo because she's beautiful!  

     

Looks spot on mate.
