*Member* Alanman & Clare's Crap Cab

Finally back on road all taxed tested and everything.




The car is basically sound. A good base to start with. So just needs a bit of effort and money and it'll be a nice car. Took those god awfull twins off and replaced with good old standard lights.

The car has some gucci bit already such as:

1. RS Turbo Bonnet
2. RS Turbo Wheels
3. RS Turbo Recaros
4. RS lower skirts and bompers
5. RS boot spoiler
6. KnN panel filter
7. Electric roof / windows wtc

But the maintenence and general condition is needing work, so, things on the "to do list" are:

(as cheap as poss)

01. Scrap yard tomorrow morning to buy:

Battery (fucked of with pushing it)
Nut and bolt to secure alternator (peice of wood working so far but for how long)
Bulb and holder for front indicators (Stole them of BigCab for now)
Plastic bush on steering rack (to stop steering wheel up/down movement)

02. 3 x puncture repairs
03. Fit lowered springs back
04. Fit clamps to lower front
05. fit 4 branch manifould, thats right, lol, we have a 4 branch for it.
06. Paint bonnet and boot until we can do full paint job
07. clean, touch up and buff the whole car
08. Clean the inside
09. secure boot spoiler

Then when thats all done and if we have any money we would then like to do:

1. New roof (BicCab would get one to be fair and Crap Cab would have the old one.
1.(b) If no new roof then it might be made back to a pickup, but we'll see.
2. Full Paint same colour or something slightly different, nothing mad
3. 17" alloys, I want white but Clare's not convinced
4. New engine, if we can get a donor cheap enough, an RS Turbo, if not just another XR3i.
5.

It looks good on photos. lol.

Right,

new battery on and it starts everytime

bolts fitted to alternator so it carries on starting

bush fitted to steering wheel

new exhaust back box fitted


So it should start from now on. fingers crossed
