Jellybelly's Cabby!! Arty Photos!!!

Hello everyone

i've done it again!!!!! :roll:  :roll:

but this time it's a cabby  

1988 clipper cab 1.8 carb engine

collected it last night with a mate of mine (Top bloke!!!) got it home and that was that    

have a look





interior!



this car is in alot better condition that project rot box so this is going to be the car on the road and the tintop is the project

things will happen to this but slowly, not as slow at project rot box tho    

the only problem is that it doesn't run.

it starts up and rev's but is rough and then it dies after it dies it just doesn't start again for a bit

not sure what but i'll have a look at the weekend

Nice one but why "swirl" the first pic and not the second !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

forgot!

:mrgreen:

nice one jellybelly.
how did you get round mrs j. then?

what i say goes mate

haha yea right

all you have to do is make women think it's their idea and then it's easy

   :roll:

ok mate i'll try that one, but, the problem I've got  is I am out numbered 4 female's to me but i have a stepson who escapes every night says he's going out with his mates :pray:

Jellybelly whats happening with your tin top, i haven't seen any updates for a while . :roll:

thread has gone missing but it will be back

HAHA!

nice one jelly.

Nice looking cab!

As for your running issues, remove the pipe that goes to the fuel filter and pop it in a jerry can with fresh fuel, if it runs better replace all the flexible fuel pipes and filter and see if that makes any difference.

Also check the ignition amp in the scuttle.

Let's hope this one isn't as religious as your tin top… I've never known a car so holey lol !!!!

Looks tidy mate… you bringing this one to the meet if you get it running right?  Missing the updates on your tin top  :cry:

would like to bring it to the mk meet but i'll be coming down the the pug if not!!!

If I can get mine running I'll be in a mk1 for the first time in months… otherwise it's the crappy Vectra again  :roll:

Love the cabby mate… you're doing absolutely nothing for me holding off getting another mk1 though lol !!!

i'm happy with is so far

just need it running really

good for the money reckon if i broke it i could double what i payed    

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

got it running today with a little help from my dad (legend)

took it for a bit of a drive down the road which was good made me smile again  :mrgreen:

problems to sort out:

idle speed it to low so needs adjusting somehow

when you put pedal to the metal nothing really happens

clutch biteing point is very high (new clutch i reakon)

front indercator sometimes works sometime doesn't

should keep me busy  

Great new mate  :clap:

What was it in the end?

the float has a little needle thingy this was jammed in the carb so it was flooding itself

just got sort the idle out and i might be able to drive it somewhere
