Hi all new to the site and just thought i would tell you all about me and the cabby.

 

names Scott and I'm 28 from Mansfield. Dad of 3 and own and run my own furniture business.

 

I bought the cabby just under 2 years ago, with the intention of getting it back on the road.

The rear shoes was replaced along with the fuel filter, battery and some fresh fuel.

Engine runs fine but the cooling fan is not kicking in and after lowering the car back on the ground the front spring snapped.

Shortly after I took a business over and the car got left.

Now its time to start again.

 

Job list:

New front springs (thinking of lowering it 30\40mm all round)

Service the engine running again and fix the fan.

New sills. (thoughts on replacements)

MOT

Try and work out whats wrong with the power hood

new bumpers, set of side skirts and a roll tip cherry bomb.

re-spray

 

will get some pictures taken soon.

all ideas and knowledge welcome.
