Mk3/4 cabriolet resurection of A200SKK
ok some of you might remember me asking for info on a cab a while back from a member on here well i actually recieved it to my house over the weekend ready for the resurection of this old show stopping cab so here is a few pics of when john till had it
these are from 2005 when he then decided to break the cab and sell shell on it then from what i gather sat for next 3 years in a barn or dry stored somewhere then sold on to the guy i bought it off who had it sat outside around 12 or so months
here it is back in 2000 when john had it featured in preformance ford nov 2000 issue
and these are a couple of when john first recieved it
and these are a few that where taken for me to see condition before i parted with cash for it
i will get more pics up of how it is now when i get chance
first bit of work i done is start to make door mirrors electric from manual as they mirrors have door switches in and also saves time in spraying these lol
will get pics up in next day or so hope you all like
thanx alain

its staying mk4 and at first will probably just get it back on road got a cutout bumper with lower fibreglass splitter attached (needs work yet) and lower splitter attached to rear bumper
biggest issue will be keeping bonnet closed as its not got the bonnet catch hole but think that will be bonnet pins
will attach bumpers and a bonnet in a few days to give you a feel of what it will look like for now then we shall take it from there not sure what engine yet either probably just get a rst donor vehicle for now too and swap everything over we shall see
thanx for reply guys glad you all like it
