.....I have my car back!
Radiant Red with a Satin Gold Ghost Pearl in with the first clear coat, looks awsome in the sun!!
MOT booked for wednesday!

 

hope all goes well for the MOT

always nice to see another cabby being looked after

 

Lovely motor - ugly bumpers, shame really

 

i dont think the bumpers are that bad, at least they look like they fit unlike most fibreglass bumpers, looks like alot of prep work has gone in to it, mind you weve all got an opinion, im not a lover of the red door locks, looks like couldnt be arsed to remove, but still a nice looking car

 

I've always loved the Cosworth kit on MK4's (which is why i have it lol) but everyone has their own opinion, I purposely left the black rubber around the locks black so it doesnt look like 'couldnt be arsed to remove' you just cant see it in the photo's.

 

Quite nice that colour. A lot of prep work does end up giving a better result.

Like it

 

yeah there was a lot of effort put into the prep work, makes all the difference!

 

i also hate the bumpers but i like the way the back one fits!they normally stick out a mile!would love it with RS bumpers with extensions,but each to their own,colour and finnish look stunning!!good work

 

what's the plan for it now ?

 

yeah the rear bumper had to have the ends cut off and an Inch from each side trimmed out!! It was way too wide!!!

Plan now is run the engine in (rebuilt it before spray job) then down to TOTD and......... 17psi!

Also a full interior retrim in something similair to the 88spec red flec.

 

gorgeous paint job mate truely stunning and i dont even like red lol

 

let me know when your going down to TOTD and ill pop down, be cool to meet up and talk cabbys be good to see it in the flesh as well so to speak
you may even be interested in my Mk4 cabby, its a little bit different from the norm

 

yes mate sounds good! Should be in about 2 weeks depends how long it takes me to run the engine in though!

Get some pics of yours up mate! Always interested!
My brother has just picked up a S1 replica turbo cabby, you can just see the front of it in a couple of the photo's above, thats going on the RR wednesday (local tuners not TOTD though)

 

all that prep and you left the windscreen in and hood on shame as thats where the dreaded stuff starts

 

what are you talking about??? The windscreen was taken out and the hood removed from the back and just left on its frame!!!!

 

A lovely looking cabriolet karlos. I love the colour and you have used some tasteful mods which havent been over done. My cab has got the dreaded rot now so im looking for another cab to start work on. The bumpers work really well.

 

Thanks Juff! Appreciate it!

 

that looks lovely, very nice finish and i think the bodywork suits it nicely- i bet the pics don't do the paint justice

 

Thanks Chris69!
