Wheel colour really sets the car off. I love a caddy, and this is stunning!

It failed its MOT a few weeks back on a few simple things, wheel bearings, ball joints and steering boots. Finally got around to sorting it all out today with new arms, bushes, ball joints, bearings and boots. Replaced the downpipe for a new one as the original was rotten, what a pisser the C clamps are  |

It passed its MOT the second time around and then sat in the garage, I've not had the chance to drive it a usual. Had it out the garage this morning to drop it off to get a Wolfsburg steering wheel fitted, the large spline spacer is stuck so the whole column had to come out. Didnt get home from work til late so will pick it up in the morning   |

Love your caddy squire! Interested to see how you may do the audio setup as all I have is a 8" sub and head unit and although acceptable, not exactly perfect. Do you know what material was used to spray in the load bin?

That's a very nice looking motor,
You're progressing well with all your attention to the small details that can often let down the best cars.
Do you have any plans for the exhaust tail pipe ??

Do you know what material was used to spray in the load bin? I need to take it across to get the audio setup looked at, it sounds awful and ideally needs replaced. Its raptor liner in the bed, pretty hard wearing and easy to apply |

I've got a few little jobs here and there to do over winter. Main job is to pull the engine and gearbox to tart it up. Plan for the exhaust is to cut the end off to hide it, I'm not a fan of it |

They've got it running this afternoon, shaft was seized for whatever reason and the governor weights stuck. Pump off tomorrow, strip down and rebuild.
This will be the third rebuild in 18 months having covered less than 200 miles

May be because you are not using it enough?
