89 Cabby Resto Project/Daily Driver/Toy

Post by RabbidCabby9 »

Waddup forum, posted a few but never any pics.

Here's one to start things off. From NJ but live in the NOVA area.
If anyone's 'round here and wants to get together-please let me know, would love to chat mk1vdubs.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Does that bring back memories to me! Looks a lot like my Posh Bunny did when I first bought it.
Here is what I started with:

Hey no problem. The one thing I do recommend is to take lots of photos of the car as you proceed through the project. It really puts a prospective on what you did when you have finished (I know, nobody ever really finishes a project car).

Just to keep things in prospective, the project took four years, plus another year to finish some of the little things.

One thing to do is go to http://www.cabby-info.com and add your car to the registry.
