[G6dub]

Ok the new caddy project 20vt 6 speed, and retro styling is underway, here is a few pic's


The steering colum with mod pedel box that is being welded in later today.
 

 

 
Ok I got a opening window, I have polished it and couldn't resist fitting it to see what it looked like.


This is what I have done to the engine bay so far, removed servo etc... off to teh body shop tomo morning have holes I don't need sorted out and engine bay painted


 The orig clock showing the low miles


And this is my lovely straight mint orig tail gate, this caddy took a long time to find but is worth it.
And soon teh reg will changed to G6DUB too 
Hope to have it finished around April.

Will be bale to see my new motor, replacing the crashed one hopefully in a new haze of glory by showtime, (license allowing)

id love to do a project like that, looks fun

is the caddy body very stiff? i would have thought you would have to seam weld the whole shell

[richard ellison]

thats in brilliant condition from the looks of it.

sure it will be stunning when finished!

Don't be silly, a caddy is prob stronger than a mk1 GTi, as it was orig designed to take brick rubble!

Your not going to seam weld the whole of your 16v are you? 

[VeeDubGTI16v]

i would, but

it wasnt made for 300bhp or whatever your gonna make the 1.8t tho

in a hatchback id put a rollcage joining the suspension turrets (space cage or something ), but you couldnt do that in the cab, would look crap i would do the engine bay at least
