Design Edition Cabby

[Rav335uk]

Bumpstops are your friend now Murphy.
Where's the lights???

[bss325i]

Silver centres.

And why is the front panel below your grills not Neon blue?

[eko]

On its arse lol
No idea on the rear one rubbing though.
Rear beam bushes ok?Had new arch with wider lip than normal maybe?

[oomz1975]

This is looking rude now...
Check the rear beam bushes, as already suggested.

[MurphyE30]

they look nice mate, I would say go with black or anthracite. definately not neon blue!

After having them on a few days i do like them with the black centres, but thinking they might look better with silver centres

that front end is fookin low murph i like to hate this car sometimes.

no more getting on your drive lol

Those's rims really change the stance of your cab

i agree, has totaly changed the look. i like it

Bumpstops are your friend now Murphy.
Where's the lights???

will get them on soon mate

Silver centres.

And why is the front panel below your grills not Neon blue?

I have considered silver centres, i might have to ask if anyone can do a few photoshops

The panel below the grill was sprayed black by mistake by the painter, will be corrected when i have the funds for a respray

On its arse lol
No idea on the rear one rubbing though.

will have to check the rear beam bushes out

No update as such, although after cracking the passenger rear arch last week I spoke to painter today to get some rear arch repair panels and sort out a respray thinking about having the arches rolled out and flaired when they are fitted.

i think im going to have to go for a full coilover set up so i can alter the height to where i want it and have them set stiff to cope with the Borbets

Gave the Idle control valve a clean out with some carb cleaner today and that seems to of sorted the issues i was having with idleing to low

[tonybtonyb]

At least we'll see you coming'Bad boy Murph' looking cooler than ICE!

[MurphyE30]

Well after having some issues with the cabby and loosing heart with it i have considered breaking it and putting the proceeds into the chromie,

i have done alot of thinking on it today and i am going to get the the cabby put up on the drive and under cover and have it off the road till i can afford to rectify all the issues ive got to fix.

I just cant bring myslef to break it down after all the money and time thats been put into it over the last 6-7 months,

Still got a good few ££££'s worth to get it back into shape but im just going to have to start putting away for it.

On the to do list:
Replace gearbox ( possibly have current box refurbished)
Dye new carpet and fit
Have a Z3 short shifter
front and rear brake wear sensors
Replace 4 tyres
Rear subframe bushes ( possibly polybush)
New steering rack needed ( may aswell Upgrade to E36)
Hook up power steering
Suspension overhall ( Gaz coilovers fitted)
Respray along with New outer rear arches
New roof
Interior needs Retrim (fit Audiosport pods)
Fit Head light was wiper set up
Replace Pedal board

Took a few pics today before she comes off the road

[Ali786]

What a car!!! It was the right desicion murph

[Rav335uk]

[mercdriver]

Murphy, you know it was beyond stupidity killing a machine that looked that good. Great move!

[tonybtonyb]

Murph these things take time to put right,now that you've got your cab looking sweet!!It will take time sorting out what your going to do first take one step at a time,you will get there mate.Good luck

[bmw325mad]

Fook! this car has come along way from when i first saw it
My kind of car, love the stance.

[MurphyE30]

Well unfortunately the cabby is at the end of its days, tax and mot are up at the end of next month and my insurance is due up the day after Pod. So when we get back from pod the cab will be stripped of all its parts for mynew project.

I will be keeping a hold of the Tech II kit, Engine and 6 branch along with my lights as they cost a fair bit to build.

then the rest will be advertised for sale before she goes the journey. Sad times but this has to go to make way for the the new project
