New Mk1 Cab owner. *pic added*
« on: 21 November 2011, 09:49 »
Just got a mk1 cab, got it off egay so hoping it's all as it seems n not been royally ripped off. I've been out of the dub loop for ages but from what I've seen things are going back to more original look?

Anyways expect lots of stupid questions  :smiley:

Welcome back to Dubism...  :cool:

Original(ish) is the way forward for the older dubs at least... there's nothing worse than mk'1s with 90's or later styling on them IMO..

Any questions, you fire away, be good to see some pics of it when you can.  :cool:

I'm hoping to go back a bit with the styling. The rear lights are gonna be the first to go.

Sadly I'm not new, same old trailer trash just new shoes
;)

Looks tidy.  :cool:

See what you mean about the add ons.. those rear lights definitely need to go, interesting that it's got a smooth boot, shame the relocated plate looks a bit out of place, might just be the photo though.

What's it like condition wise overall, the roof ok?

Yeah I'm not a fan of it either. It's in really good condition the roof does have a slight tear but no leakage. It's a bit overstyled for my liking so will be throttling it back a bit.

It has the debadged single grill which I used to love but I'm not sure on that either. I must admit my heart did take over and she was bought on a bit of a whim but between Brad and I we can deal with it. She won't be my everyday driver so I will prob be working on her over the winter n bringing her out to play in the summer :)

Sounds good.  :cool:

I was a fan of single light grille's in the 90's for a short while but as you say, it's all about Original now..  Mines not exactly original but everything on it is pretty much correct for the era and would never have anything but a black badged twin grille now.

I'd be tempted to sell your wheels too.  :lipsrsealed:

I don't think leccy roofs cause too much trouble.
