I bought this on Wednesday with a blown up engine, wanted one for years, and have spent yesterday afternoon and today with my very good freind mending it... I am so gutted to have to do this, but I just don't fit in it!! I cant get the seat back far enough to be comfortable...  Anyway, its an '84 Caddy, it used to be a diesel but has been converted to MK1 Golf Gti spec including 5 speed Gearbox, 1800 DX Code engine, Gti Dash, Fuel injection... you get the picture. Today we have replaced the bottom end with another DX engine we had in stock, its had a full service, new Gates cambelt, new clutch, new coreplugs, its had new top mounts. we generaly went through it as if I was going to put it to use as my daily. It runs lovely, drives well and pulls good through all the gears. The rear axle has been flipped to lower it, the Front strutts are aftermarket Gas units as are the rear shocks, it has lowered front springs... Its basicaly a very good little Truck!! Inside it has Bucket seats which are fitted to bases which use the standard runners, which means you can put standard seats back in if you want, as I was going too!! It has a badgless grill too.... The only things wrong with it are the heater switch doesnt work, there are no carpets fitted although I have a GTI carpet in Blue if you want it, and there are a couple of minor marks and small rust scabs on the bodywork, but I do mean minor!! They are getting realy hard to find as straight as this, especialy with no sunroof... Its taxed and mot'ed till october and I have all the Documents here. So, I am after 1495 for it, which is more or less what it owes me, but I am always up for a deal, so what you got??? Have some pictures...   the bonnet is open in this pic     If you are interested I live on Canvey Island, Essex, near southend, my numbers are 01268 512247 and 07818 888708 Thanks for looking!! |

How tall are you then? Would you fit with the standard seats do you think?
Cheers..

Its not the height of me, I'm not the slimmest person in the world though... I like to drive quite far away from the steering wheel and I just cant get the seats back far enough, I am sure that standard seats would make a difference. I also have a '97 Skoda Pick up, I bought the Caddy to replace it as I have tha same problem in that too, that and I have a Fetish for Mk1 Golfs....

It will be those seats that will be restricting you mate, why not just get some others installed?

I have to move something on and the skoda does its job well, I would have to spend more money sorting out the seats, swapping over Insurance and paying the extra... You get the picture, I had to spend more than I thought I was going to, when we got it apart we found the clutch was on its last legs so that had to be done, and the other engine was a Carb engine so the Head wasn't drilled for injectors, so that had to be changed for a GTI one... It all got a bit involved in the end!! I have run out of money now and this is the most sellable thing at the moment... I don't have a Bike License mate, and bikes kind of scare the curse word out of me!!..

Dude Try some Scirocco or Corrado seat in there before you ditch the truck. These seats are height adjustable and as they drop down at the back it creates more room in front of you. There's a "how to:" on fitting corrado or mk2 seats in a caddy on www.caddyforum.comCheers Dubmonkey |

it "a state" but a saloon version, only got the one picture I'm afraid but can get more if your intetersed, it needs carpet inside but its ok inside other than that, it was green and everything you cant see is still green ie door shguts etc etc, drives quite well and its solid but it should its had more welding than most modern ferries ;-)  |
