My 88 cabrio project

[Wiglaf]

coming along good, the plstic bumpers look way better.
if you paint it white then it'll look a lot like my '88 cabbie. even teh wheels you picked are similar..


I still havn't figured out exactly what to do about the rear apron and sides, probly the ebay mtech-II ripoff bumpers. the full kit is way too expensive though.

Wiglaf your ride is sick! Love the interior color. Did you drop yours or is it the turn/braking that makes the front look that low? If so what did you use?

Filip at eurostyle makes a sweet Mtech II rep rear apron for $200. Installing one of those is my next step. Here is a pic of the actual sideskirts and rear apron he made and sold to talltorontoguy on maxbimmer.com:

Still no luck.Just saw this thread on another site though.Maybe this is what I'm doing wrong.

Looks like they are missing the step where you fold the bar back.

There is a support bar that runs the width of the car that needs to be folded back. It is located right around where the back of the front seats would be. It's hard to explain, but once you see it, you'll understand.

I can try to take some pics with my shitty old 3 MP Kodak cam.

I'll give it a shot this weekend and post pics.

More pics! I wrote up that other thread, and if you do the last step where you pull the fabric back, the bar usually flops back by itself. However, more+better pics never hurt!

I finally got it!Had to go around to passenger side to press bar in,which enabled top to stow completely.Thanks for taking the time to explain the steps guys.
