1987 Mk1 Cab
Was a bit awkward to remove but managed it with a budget DeWalt 18V drill and an extra pair of hands:
As it stands now I have removed the hood and much of the interior as it will be getting a lick of paint:
She looks a little sorry for herself at the moment but anything is better than the bumpers that it had on.
Strangely we came across 6 hair curlers (see a selection below), I have no idea why a Cabby would have implements such as hair curlers in it…
Also found some old Wrigley's chewing gum (still smells quite minty), a receipt from 1996 when fuel was a lot cheaper and half of a love letter to a man named David.
Hoping to crack on over the next few month's and plan to chip away as and when time permits!

Whats your plans for it?

I have a few plans, tore the hood slightly and cried a bit because it was the best part of the car (minus the lining which was torn), so am going to purchase a mohair this week, not planning on staying black though… Going to try and replace the parts that are missing or have been changed with originals, have a few items on way from ebay and the like.
Was hoping to fit a clipper kit and have sourced one but am concerned that as mine came with the smaller bumpers it may be a little fiddly to fit?
Also on the lookout for some nice wheels but I am putting that on hold until I have had it painted (staying white).

Hi Woody, I am from Elmtree but now reside in a dark horrible village a little up the road…

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
