Thats a nice straight bed shame to cover it with the checker plate tbh. as for engine either 1.6/1.9td if you like a nippy good on fuel truck or a 2.0 16v if you want a quick and not good on fuel truck, the 16vs are a fun engine. nice truck

2k wtf!! the bodyshop I use (if i buy the paint and do a little prepwork) only charges about £500 to prime paint then colour sand...
maybe you should try doin some of the prep yourself, get the cost down abit

Yeah but the 2k involes a lot of welding, including the windscreen scuttle cut and replaced ect , all nasty places to weld, and plus its full of dents ect!,
and the reason for the checker is to perserve the bed like it is as i carry a lot of stuff, move stuff for people ect, so its just there for protection atm!

Like the new rabbit hutch and the grille. Just need to get some red paint on that aluminium so you have a matching back end. Like the friend's Caddy too, especially the Wolfsburg crest on the door.

Aye its toms caddy, think hes been back a week or so! he wanted a drum off the other caddy iv got so we did a swap, and his had just come out of storage then! only ever seen the diesel on the panel vans ( hatch with solid windows) nice tailgate brave without chunky bumpers. Humm might be a rare badge then! the tail gate is off atm in my unit as i don't want it stolen or hit :/ so I'm running my blue on off the other caddy! |

Been a while, Iv now taken the caddy off the road and starting a stip down resto on her, got diffeint engine plans now to will reveale all when iv done it!  also found this hole which i need to sort as the tow bar will mount on there for my caddy trailer :/  09/03/ Done a little bit more! Removed the ally side strips to reveal the holes it was fixed on with and lots of other :/ so I'm going to be busy welding up a few holes!    And also made a start on some very bad filler! i did this shortly after getting the caddy thinking it wont take much to sort then two pots of filler later and still unfinished and i never did finsih so out it comes to be sorted proper!   |
