Title: put to bed
Post by: AdamB on 24 September 2004, 15:30
The cab has now officially retired for the year. I have just cleaned and waxed it, put it in the garage, removed the battery, claimed the Tax back, and tucked her up with some blankets! I feel quite sad really :'( not going to have her out for at least another 7 months!!!

Always good to do if you want to keep it in A1 condition....! Specially with the color of your car - it may turn orange....!!!!  :D I know it's RED....

Mine's in the garage too for winter now - but taking apart for restore work...

What car are you driving around in Adam for Winter?

its about that time of year again.? :'(

 Im wondering if ill get to have the roof down once more before the tax runs out at the end of the month.? ?mine does leak a bit so its best to put it away before the wet gets a chance to ruin the interior.? ::)

must admit though, im looking forward to it going into the garage.? then i can start stripping it for the makeover. bring on next summer? 8)

will there be any cabs at newark  :-\

The only reason I am putting her to bed, is because I pick up my new toy in the morning, and there is no need to drive it whilst the weather wont make up its mind. It's not a prctical daily driver any more, either, with it being so low. You'll all get to see the new "Beast " at Newark. - and it is a "Beast"!!

Beast.....????!!!!! Is it a VW I hope so...... Give us some idea... a little... go on go on Adam... Who can figure out what Adam new toy is.....????

If it's a VW I think it's a VR6 Carroda if it's not a VW it's a Porsche GT3..... (I can wish away)

There are a few poeple who know what it is, but I'll keep the rest of you guessing till Newark. I have just collected it, and my heart is still racing from the drive home! It is quick - very quick!

You have just become used to the cab scraping on everything so you can only do 10mph  :P

My cab is away for winter now too :'(

Some big mods planned this winter:-

Fit the stainless fuel filler neck
Fit rear discs
Replace the 4 into 1 manifold and downpipe with the 4 into 2 manifold and downpipe and then it'll be off to Powerflow for a new system
Replace the inlet manifold with one that has already been machined for the larger throttle body and obviously change the throttle body

...........that should keep me busy :)
