325i cabbie progress pics

[paul1985]

i've not had my cabby very long its been emotional so far
first off my ecu packed up after 3 days of ownership
then my autobox spat its dummy all within a month or so

BUT all is well now

i got an ecu from ebay
and a mate of mine let me strip his rotten tintop for a manual conversion in exchange for me doing oddjobs round his house

so were all back on the road and happy
and as i've had a half day off i gave her a bath
anyway heres some pics

let us know what ya think??

















please ignore the horrible gear knob its one i borrowed until i find the one i want

I like it mate, looks very retro, in a cool way Not to sure on the black trim just above the sill, what is that?

[paul1985]

the trims as per standard as far as i know but its suppossed to be black below the trim
i may be wrong like sure some one will correct me if i am
i dunno weather to paint it black or red below the trim as its mainly overspray instead of being painted

[Kemix]

Ahh now it makes sense... I think you should have the sills black if that trim is going to be there, if not, have the sills red.. like my sig picture

[paul1985]

problem is if i remove it i'll be left with clip holes that'll need welding
hmmm decisions

looks very nice and the same as mine if you click my sig pic below it will show you what colour the sill should be, key it up they use stone chip and after thats dry a coat os satin black will make the black trim not so prominant! looks very low to

yeah my mate had a full set of apex springs and shox i dunno what its lower by but it feels decked

[trevski]

must be at least 60/40 , halfrauds do big can of stone chip spray and also the satin black paint for your sills! a good going over with a red scotch pad soaked in soapy water will key and also clean them ready for paint, simple but very effective

[paul1985]

cheers for the advice trevski
ps your car looks awesome red cabby ftw lmao

Trevski, cool pic of you & Jock, but you need to massively reduce it in size please.

[Alex]

looks great, needs pedal rubbers though pennys from the dealers

Nice looking Cab, that! I'd change the front indicator lenses to standard clears or smoked rather than the 'crystal' ones on it now but otherwise, really nice!
