good luck with the project vdub.

what is the dub gonna be for? ?a daily drive, a show car, for the strip ?8)

how far u gonna take the project?? ?a rolling shell and start from scratch or a mot'ed runner to make into ur own?

do u have any experience with a welder?? ?i dont so my first requirement was a solid shell to work from. ?that has probably saved me thousands ? ;)

if i had room for another project along side my 2 mark 1s i would look out for a caddy sport, theres not many of them about ?8)

yeah i am thinking of a caddy iv always liked them for some reason it wont be rolling shell as i can not weld at all but then again my best mate can so i have that as an option! i think im gonna go for the caddy sport it wont be a show car as i dont have the dedication to have it up to that kind of spec but it will be of high quality as i have three years to make it to the standard of my liking! thanks for the link vix and jv thanks for the advice as i reckon caddy will be the way to go!
