the no roof car skip to main skip to sidebar the no roof car thursday february 7 2008 heated seats and new battery 2 4 08 adrian and i checked the switches wiring etc and it seems likely that the elements are bad i need to see if i can at least replace the drivers seat i also had to replace the battery i tried to charge it but that didn t help i kept getting stranded anyway luckily i found a warranty receipt in the glove box and it saved me 20 on a replacement posted by extrem4 at 11 27 am 1 comment thursday january 24 2008 01 24 08 replaced front axle shafts the car was still making some nasty noises in the front suspension such that i was scared to drive it i took it in to jeff s and figured it was the passenger cv joint it turns out they were both bad and they were replaced suspension is much better with no horrendous noises emanating out of the front in 423 00 forgot to have him check the master brake cylinder as i think it needs to be replaced in stop and go with regular use the brakes fade to the floor and will only work with pumping posted by extrem4 at 3 39 pm no comments 12 13 08 oil change i have decided it would be a good idea to add maintenance and repairs to the blog so i can see what i have done and when so this is the first oil change i also thought that maybe the wheel bearings were bad but they checked out fine after talking with jeff it is likely the cj joints axle and i will have to take it in then got off pretty easy 40 posted by extrem4 at 3 35 pm no comments saturday march 24 2007 for those requesting pictures here are a few posted

be continued posted by extrem4 at 11 17 pm 3 comments the story of the no roof car once upon a time a family decide that they did not need two nice fancy cars in the garage but rather they should sell one of the cars and buy a cheaper car for around town this car should get good gas mileage and be a fun car so the dad said i know i have always wanted a convertible and this is the time to buy a classic car and restore it and keep it for 20 years and sell it and make a small fortune or keep it and pass it down the family in his growing up years the dad s dad had just a car like this it was a 1954 black mgtf this is not the actual car but this is the same color and style we loved the car and had great fun taking short jaunts in it unfortunately one day it was sold as the price was right and now it is worth 30xs what it was purchased for new and 6x more then he sold it for used now the other bit of nostalgia is that the first car the dad had was a roofed version of the no roof car this car is no longer around and while it is not the favorite car the dad has ever had it is one that was well loved i will admit to more then a little buyers remorse after the car was purchased for starters this meant the dad was going to have to sell his current fairly new somewhat customized to his liking sporty turbocharged car for a car with less then 60 of the horsepower of his current cushy car there have also been a number of improvements in the 10 years that span the two cars and the new car is not in mint condition far from it it has potential but needs mild restoration anyone who knows the dad knows that the car is a vw and he found after some looking that the car to get would be a 1993 vw cabriolet collectors edition with all of the bells and whistles that a 93 vw had including heated leather seats air conditoning cruise control and other things the place to look when trying to locate a car like this is craigslist and i found one only 2 states away in wa it was low miles 76 000 and in reasonable shape we brought it home and have already started on the project so far we replace the trunk deck as it was in bad shape we fixed the turn signals and a few other lights not functioning we have identified the need for new front shocks and a new cv boot we have ordered a new door handle and need to locate a new front grille the idea behind the blog is to document our progress in restoring this little no roof car from a semi wornout convertible back to its glory days it should be a fun project and a fun little runabout for the family as you can tell this purchase was for the family as all purchases should be pictures will follow posted by extrem4 at 10 27 pm 3 comments home subscribe to posts atom 1993 vw cabriolet collectors edition extrem car history it all started at the age of 16 with the first car being a 1978 vw rabbit diesel this car was in mint condition and had just 7500 miles on it when it was purchased in 1984 this was the story of the car that the little old man drove 1x a week to keep it up since that time there have been a myriad of vw s that he come and gone including the following 1986 gti 1990 golf 1997 jetta gls 2002 passat wagon and now the 1993 cabriolet i am thinking down the road a beetle convertible with the 1 8 turbo would be a good one to have sites to see car care exterior e vw parts interiors 1st vw parts vw vortex the
