Hello everyone, since im new to the forum, ill might just start off by saying what a great place to share experience about vw.
But my question is, does anyone know much about caddy's ? I really need to know since my first project is a volkswagen caddy.
I need to know, what color it was originally painted from vw factory, styling sites, wheel types etc. Hope someone can help me or give me a site to caddy pictures/gallery. This would be great.
cheers. :D

hello there.
i too have a project caddy, Its been on hold just recently because of moving house andhaving to pay the bills. i know bits and pieces about the caddy but havent been able to find out a great deal and am going on what ive read in mags and on the net. However i have managed to find one website. www.vwcaddy.de it has loads of caddys onit but its in deutch, ive tried speeking to a few off them but havent had much success.
what are you planning to do with your caddy?
Cheers..... Harr1s.....

hey, thanks for replying and giving me that site, helped me a lot.
i havent started my project yet, i need to move back to norway, cos im in australia now, so the project will start in may-june 2004, but i really want to make everything ready for the project, rims etc, styling where to find caddy styling.
but basiclly i will,rims,new paint,lower it,good ice install, and make it a good car all around.
Do u have the possibility to take some pictures of your project car and the procjet it self? would be nice.. cheers.

The cady wasn't really popular for modifying in the UK from what I have seen. You may have better luck searching for aftermarket bits from the USA. Over there they were called a rabbit pick-up. I can remember seeing them all over the place there.
-
hi, hmmm.. i have seen some caddies, at uk shows and german shows, only at pictures that is.. So caddy arnt that popular in EU ?hmmm isee, but where do they get the styling from ? USA websites, do u have any sites ? Cheers.
-
I should have some pics from some of this years shows, including GTI International.........let me see what I can dig out......
-
Rich is right, there were two at the action rallies this summer - a yellow one and an aqua blue one. They looked really tidy, and the guys had done a lot of work to them. there might be a couple of pics in the links on the main page
-
ye, the aqua blue one is just superb, that one is just great, but Im really looking for styling sites, isnt much styling for them, maybe just rear lights would be an option. But ye, would be great with some more pictures of the caddy, cant get enuf inspiration :) cheers for all replies.

I'll try and do some more for you soon. I need to do some spring cleaning on my website as I have run out of webspace so I'll find them and repost them all.
-
Rich, is that the one parked 2 down from my cab, in the show'n'shine at the Beach party?
That was so tidy
-
thanks so much, allready seen the aqua blue one... its just so perfect, its probably one of the most awesome vw ive ever seen, what do u think ? hopefully I can get my caddy project similar to that one :) hopefully, thanks for pictures and future pictures.. I come from norway btw :)
-
Those 2 were from GTI International, but I do have one or 2 more pics that I will dig out.
I need to reorganise my site a little, I have run out of space and I have a lot of unnecessary stuff uploaded.
More to follow.
-
good sh!t mate, u interested in caddy ? or just cab's ?
-
Actually I'm mainly into Mk1's but as you may have gathered I like the cabrio, which like the caddy is a kind of Mk1 derivative. 'harr1s' got me interested in the caddy's..........
-
These are all the photo's I can find that I took this year. Adam, check out number 2, that was at VW-Action, not so dissimilar to number 3 that you saw earlier ;)
