Jellybelly's Cabby!! Arty Photos!!!

passed MOT today but broke down on the way home

think it's being starved of fuel

at least it didn't break down during the MOT  :wink:


I always feel like a fresh MOT gives me a little breathing space on fixing things, funny how Mk1's always have a different idea hey  

had a good time on the cabby

made a new parcel shelf at work as the old one was looking a bit tired









looks good and nobody can tell theres some speakers in there





then fitted some rear seat speakers as there wasn't any



then i pulled all the seats out to wash the interior and thought i would sort this amp out



but when i dug a bit deeper i decided to pull the 2 old alarms and the imboaliser out as i think it was draining the battery. so i soon had all the dash out

got a bit carried away opps!!!!



this is what was left of the alarms



then put it all back together



then washed the beast inside and out



then thought i would go to a ice spot to take some snaps not to bad i think













all cleaned a ready to go to gti festival on sunday

she looks nice mate very clean and tidy

Looks sweet mate what are you using on your plastics mine are quite faded and no amount of bumper gel or back to blacks bringing them up like yours

veg oil

looks like a trip to asda !!  

What happens to the parcel shelf when you put the hood down?

i no some guys with t4 vans just run a heatgun on the black bumpers come back like new . :dontknow:

nothing happens to it really it just muffels the sound a bit

still sounds okay though?  i've got some 6x'9s i wanted  to stick in my clipper but thought the hood  down would make them a bit pointless

nice work by the way, love the wheels

right not updated for a while

first of all a bit thanks to chortle for coming round and helping me fit my new roof

before:











After:





now i should have not more leaks

really happy with the out come and a massive thanks to chortle for helping

where did you get it from jelly? is it mohair?

yea mohair, got it off ebay £200

Hi Mate,
no probs with the help today.
At least I have had bit of experience doing them now.
Will sort out the dimensions for the insulation bag, for your Lass lol.
Get her busy on the sewing machine.
I drove through the back roads, lovely scenery lol.
you should put some pics up off the rear of the new hood.
Hopefully leak free now  

It's deffo a 2 man job especially one of them a midget to scramble around in the car.
That hood is fantastic Quality and a reaaly good fit too.

If I do another I will deffo get one.

Cheers for the parcel shelf, was gonna cover it and get it in when I got back, but it just has not stopped lashing down.
