RE: *Member* Clare's BigCab
Sorry, thought these where modified cars? Where does 'need' ever come into this? (apart from when they break I suppose)

Alan

talking to Spener who's here at the moment with his BMW, I reckon BigCab is one of the best VFM cars on here, bearing in mind how long you've owned it and the money thats gone into it (the equation of time divided by money invested makes it look exceptional value for money!).

A Lamborghini Gay-Ardo currently loses over £60k in 3 years, and they aren't as rare or eye-ctaching as the BigCab.

Never seen it in the flesh, so to speak, so I'm looking forward to our first encounter....

RE: *Member* Clare's BigCab
Another big night tonight. Before I leave garage I want:

Boot fitted out with checker plate
Roof pumps wired up and mounted in the boot.
Door rubber on
Wire rear light
Wire front side lights
Try to work out why indicators arnt workin (although they do on alarm and hazards)
Try to work out why cold start valve not working
Rear side panels painted Sierra beige
I'd like the roof on boot we'll see

RE: *Member* Clare's BigCab
The indicators will work off the alarm as it's probably wired right into the fusebox/relays.

I remember my toad alarm being done like that with lots of plain black cables being soldered into the different connectors etc.

The checker plate in the boot took longer than expected so I didnt get chance to look but i suspect its the indicator stalk itself.

Luckily there's another cab outside to do a bit of swapsies.

Should get chance tonight.
