What did you do to your cabby today?

[BFDeihl]

Installed new JVC media receiver. Mounted bluetooth microphone in top switch blank-- works great!

[czastrow]

[Lunchbox2021]

Obnoxious straight pipe!!!!

[Sanityana]

Recharged A/C, Replaced cruddy old vacum lines

[mileycyrus]

put in a K&N box filter.....weeeee

[BIGDAVE1050]

Took off the "CABRIO" badge from the trunk. Driving with the top down all day since its sunny and in the 80"s in Charlotte today.

[Sanityana]

Finally picked up a center cap for the one wheel that was missing it from LakeView, made a big difference to me anyway

[ToplessBunny85]

Took advantage of the warm weather and filled in the badge holes in my hatch in preparation for the cars makeover. Also took the fender flares off and painted them black..... and discovered a hole rotted underneath the driver rear one.

Oh well, that just means next year I'll be cutting them out and welding on some wider flares!

[trbodubn]

Finished up replacing the axles and lower ball joints

[cab89]

I spent most of the day taking the top apart to adjust the fit, clear silicone under/on everything, condition/clean the rubber seals, to try and stop the famous "leg leak". Now waiting on ANOTHER latch. The USPS tore the box to pieces for the other latch, it fell out of the box, so they delivered me a torn up empty box. Great job USPS!It's not like those things are easy to get

[Stashm2]

Took off the aftermarket fiberglass bumper.. ( I broke it loose at a steep intersection... woops) and found rusty horors beneath.. Should be an easy fix just ugly.. And yes the horible ricer front clip will go back on as I like it.

Pulled it all apart and removed windsheild to fix the rust there :-)

[czastrow]

decided not to sell it and looked up possible solutions to problems to tackle tomorrow

[briano1234]

Found that my dang near 20 year old radiator is leaking at the upper hose, so I spose I will replacing that in the next few weeks....

[Sanityana]

Installed Drivers side Door window and rear quarter window motors and regulators. I'm feeling a massive since of accomplishment get this done

I also got rid of my occasional skip with a new rotor button and cap.

Best day for the car so far.

[trbodubn]

Replaced the clutch cable and did the ghetto fab firewall grommet repair, a few more weekends and the little cabby will be ready for some fun stuff.

[tinygiant]

ordered a speedo cable this morning

fab'd a bumper up for the rear of the car.. tomorrow I am going to finish a matching one for the front









I just bought it sunday.. so i'm doing what i have to for NH inspection

[mileycyrus]

made a rear deck for mini golf........from Home Depot supplies, 20$.....including steel bars and the hardware.

[s2kvondeutschland]

Washed it, swapped in the proper reverse light switch, re-wired my ECU to a prettier location, JB-welded my rearview until tinker mails me the one off of his parts car, test fitted some OG Rial 13x6 ET13's, and drove it to make this stupid video of my 750i with open headers:



Miley, the golf carpet is the cat's meow.

[18t papa]

Washed and vacuumed the girlfriends Cabby!

[tinygiant]

okay i finished the front bumper..

i made some changes..

I decided that i wanted more visible blinkers.. So i bought some tiny little marker lights and wired them to the existing blinkers so that they would blink when the marker lights do. I ran the wires through the tube that I used for the bumper.. so its really clean looking. I will get a picture in the morning. I'm really digging these tube bumpers




It was dark when i finished so i will snap some pics for you guys when i get a chance tomorrow!


speedometer cable came in today.. anyone know where i can get instructions on how to install it?





I'm torn on keeping it silver.. or painting it black like the back one.. I kind of like the silver.. which would mean taking the paint off the rear one to match it.. so idk lol

[lil_squeeker]

got my duckbill installed, and swapped in new headlights.

[tinygiant]

Sent from my VM670

[pherlopolus]

just given my seats and door cards a quick clean, it's sitting in the sun drying now

[mileycyrus]

so far i looked at it from my livingroom windows a few times......

[T5i drives a VW]

Bought a 89 Cabby Yesterday... Needs few things but one of the coolest dubs I have owned.

[euroteknique]

I got mad at it after working on it and went into the house today is a new day.

I hope

[boner]

pulled it outta the garage on the weekend for the first time this year. gave it a quick wash and vacuum and tossed the keys to the wife. job done. gotta get the steering looked at tomorrow though.

still, two summers and this will be the first service issue other than a couple of teething issues when it was completed. not expecting anything else this year (just jixed it i know )

[spam16v]

ordered the few hoses left to be replaced from GAP, cap/rotor, plugs and a valve cover gasket. Back in service when parts get here tomorrow.
