my mk4 turbo cabby project
got loads of pics,been at this about a year now,started out cos i wanted an rst, got one cheap but it was fookin rotten,knew it was fooked when i bought it and had planned on a reshell as it only had 75k on the clock and the bits on it were all quite good but at the time just couldnt find a decent shell so went and bought a mint but bare cabby shell off ebay for 100 quid

kind of a shame to change the colour of an all blue but just didnt float my boat,kind of have a soft spot for black so voila

god it looks so manky under there cleaned and painted just about everything when i put it back together but the dust and grime of about 9 months lying idle in the garage
had her back in the garage last week as my mate was on holiday and left me the keys lol,fitted a set of s1 arches and made a few small mods to the front bumper,was originally planning to smooth out the styling lines and cut out the number plate bar but kind of gone off the mutant big mouth front look,just trying to keep it subtle but different
thats all for now,time for a good wash and polish,still got a few small jobs to do before mot time but now kind of thinking about fitting my efi stuff as i have most of the bits lying around and the crap weather and salt is on its way, so maybe just leave her lying in the garage till next spring and do a few more mods by the time she eventually hits the road
