aloha!

I need to change my roof on my cabby as it have seen its better days!
So that i was wondering about is, is it hard to change it?
what kind of glue do/did u use

then, the el windows.. i have the parts for it...i hope
i have the motor (yes for the cabby, not the others mk4) and the contacts/buttons in the door handle.. so how do i connect it?

and last as in the picture, a guessing game.. what kind of car is that on the side there.. left in the picture (you could see the headlamp on it)

 

1) Could be tricky if you've never done a roof before, not sure what glue is used but it wont be anything speical as all the areas under stress have screws and strips on them anyway!

Being honest i had to remove the lining on mine from the frame to change the frame as it was bent and i didnt use any glue when i refitted the lining.

2) Windows...........you'll need to rip the dash out and put the electric window loom in behind the dash aswell, and the rubber sections that car from the car to door are fun to get in if you've never done them before.

3) No fucking clue

 

hm, but if u did not use any glue.. is it not very loose on the edges? (the end over the side windows) and what about the rear window.. it is a plastic/rubber sealing around the window.. is that connected to the windows.. so you have to take out the whole window, or could i just bend it over when i cut out the back windows in the top roof? i have a "how to do pdf file here some where.

about the el windows...
is it allot behind the dash? does it has a brain or something?
never connected does before so

 

No because as i say the sides have the metal strips screwed down which firmly grips the material between them and the frame, obviously i strecthed the liner and used the original holes in the fabric.

I didnt remove the rear window i left that on the car and just folded the liner down.

Have a look for yourself





No brain for the windows, just a small wiring loom! Theres not much behind the dash.

 

so when are u coming over to fit my roof
yes.. but.. hm.. ok.. yeah, it looks good.. but have you had the roof down after u fitted it, so it is not just too tight?
have you any pics of the metal strips?
Do you have any pics during the fitting?

el windows ok, then i am going to sort it out tomorrow!

 

You don't have much faith in me do you It folds down perfect, see for yourself:



I did have pictures of a lot of things while i was converting the car but i had to back them up onto DVD-R's and they went corrupt

 

try again! it would help allot! (pics)

oh yes i have faith in u....a little

 

so, did u try again?

 

did i try what again?

 

the dvd with the pics mate!

 

Ohhhhhh, i get ya now i didnt know what you meant when uou posted that!

but yea funnily enough i did try again and they're fucked

they always worked fine on my laptop though but the drive went on that and they've never worked in anything else, and for an identical drive for my laptop its megabucks

 

hm, have you tried in an other computer then?

 

Tried everything mate, the discs do have errors though, whether that drive that was in the laptop was just extremely good or what i don't know, but it didn't last very long for such little use

Im actively looking for another drive so i may well be able to retrieve them in the future.

 

ok, hm.. that was stupid!
hm, a little strange that the driver should do that.. sure your dvd rom/player support reading it..? oh yes, u have tried it

but yeah... u don't want to take the roof off, then put it on again with allot of pictures

 

My PC drive will read the disk i have salvaged probably 7 pictures of all the 3.7GB of stuff on there, most of it appears corrupt.

The laptop drive is a common failure there are loads on ebay that dont work aswell.

 

well,mine is still working and have done it for a long time know
but yeah, some are that.
but have u tried to:
go to my computer
right click on you cd-driver
copy, then put in a map on your desktop?
then open them direct from the hd?
but u cant open the files when u try right? but you see the files there?

 

trust me, its the disc. Ive been into event viewer and everytime i put those discs in the drive the error reports go crazy

Anyway..................back on topic

 

hehe, ok.. send me the dvds so i could try

but do u know what and where i should connect the el windows to, or do i have to find the Haynes manual and look

 

Going from the thread it sounds like 2 blokes talking, looking at the pictures im sure its 2 women though

 

I just knew that would be a constructive reply from you before i even opened the topic, i just saw "Cunts RuS" and knew it would be good

 

hehe,
Have u sorted out the laptop Tony

 

Nope 5+ hours in safe mode so I gave up waiting again

 

hm, in safe mode too, that strange. but, can you uninstall the prog then? and reinstall it? maybe it will work then

 

as u see safechav, mine looks shit... and it is too

 

Ahhhhhhh gutted Tony see my pc is running alright

Alex_86 i would hardly say its shit ive seen far worse, im not a big fan of the RS valances but its Original Ford so it can't be bad, not sure on the wheels though

 

Audi

Tried the de/re Alex (De install / Re install) still wont work

 

What exactly are you trying to re-install

 

stopp bugging my car!
I was talking about the roof, not the rest of the car!
imo it looks OK
And maybe u think i should put one the same wheels that u have?

haha, when i did post up the rest it isnt hard

 

Well as it happens i thought the roof was the best part of the car

So take that as a compliment if you like pmsl
