Cabriolet “Luv A Dub” Update 9/14/12

Happy Friday everyone. I am out of the shop for the next few days. I hope to get some time to work on the Luv A Dub this weekend. The progress has been a little slow lately. I had to reorganize my garage to make some room for my new tool box.

I had told you guys that I met the guy that owned the Cabby “pre art”. I finally go the pictures from him.

: I get mad seeing how nice the inside looked

: This is my new at home tool box. I traded my first tool box for a roll kart, then the roll kart for this box!

: Love the rabbit sticker

: I will say, I like the black grill better

: The interior was in GREAT shape

: This is what the Cabby looked like before it got all it’s decorations

: The seats needed a good cleaning, but still look good

: What a great looking car!

As you can see, she was not perfect. She was however a great place to start. It’s okay, this project has been a blast so far. I hope that you all have enjoyed watching the progress so far.

I have spent some time this week taking the 1st VR6 part. The lower part of the engine is completely disassembled. The prognosis is fair. The pistons are pretty banged up. The cylinder walls look okay. I need to clean the bottom end to fully evaluate the condition. The good thing is, all the bearings look good.

I hope that you all have a great weekend. The weather is finally starting to cool off, and that makes working in my garage much more fun!
