THE CABBY

jus thought i might start a thread on my cabby ,not much done yet but starting with the wheels,i want it ready for the summer,this took me so long to do this,u all know wat they look like std(never again)
opinions pls



sorry about the pic its a phone cam

jus got a gti servo and 22mm m/c ,ready for my brake up grade





Now lowerd WHOOOOOP,jus need to lose the barry boi wheels for the teledials,and not to sure about the grill



it needs a clean i know

still cound'nt decide what colour to do the calipers and carriers so i bought the cheapest
Had my bearins pressed in the disks and this is what happend with the first set

so then they were replaced with these,much better

oh and this is the calipers,not to sure on the colour i may change ,What do you think


little bit off a update ,ive finally fitted my weber carb just waitin for the breather filter for the top of the rocker to turn up,and to source the filter i want





oh and i thought id throw this in its a big one huh



wright so a little update

was'nt happy withe the rear brakes looked really crap did'nt have any backplates ,hated the colour,and to top it off one of the calipers were seized
so heres what they look like now what do u think






oh and a little bit of poly-bushing



can a cheeky one of the carb now its all plumbed in

Same colour as mine mate..... How does it run with the webbers?... is an upgrade i am thinking about..

Have you got the adapters for the wheels?

its so much better ,done away with auto choke to cus its a pain inthe arse and the throttle response is so much better,idols like a dream

I was offered one the othe week for £160.... is that a good price? Mine runs ok on the pierburg, but a little lumpy when cold...
I got a new hood to fit on mine too, but not sure i wanna tackle that on my own....lol

i need a new hood ,160s not bad ,i got mine really cheap £50 then i bought a carb service kit for £25,but i think the carbs are about £300 new

I have got a blue mohair hood for mine.... bargain price of £180 too....
Are you on the mk1 gti site?

Yeah tis a really good source for info n that mate.... I have bought loads of stuff from there too... Funkstar is a good lad to deal with for bits..

youll want a blue dash next tom

it looks good as does the grill.

badgeless is a trend that has bin and gone

you read my mind mr bad or maybe leather with the re-trim

looks ace mate. i have a soft spot for cabby's

That looks spot on mate love it.

my brand new mohair roof is ordered and will be fitted on thursday ,g60 front brakes to be fitted ,new bonnett bra ,and gettin ready for a re-trim when i can find some who can do it

rivage models came with leather tom see if you can find one being broken

for a decent rivage interior you looking at serious money...same with sportline..

How much we talking for the brake upgrade Tom? and what is included..
