Hello all!
« on: 15 November 2005, 16:40 »
Hello folks, WICKED site u got going here, very very impressed!

Found you from a mate "Horney" who i know from the mini scene!

Well ive just got my 1st VW which i picked up yesterday after selling the Escort RS2000 earlier in the morning.

Its a White F reg Caddy which  plan to keep very very tidy, its not been much of work horse over its life so its very tidy, its had a big plastic van sort of cover on hte back for 8 years so the bed is in great condition with very little rust!

It came with 12mts mot and 6 tax, perrelli alloys with brand new rubber on them and a small box of odds and sods!

If any one has any good surgestions to what can be done to these car please let me know! im new to Dubs and havnt really paid any attention to the parts available!

I want to deck it asap so any info on how would rock!

I do have a small list of parts id like already so ill post them up in the Wanted section if i can find it!!

Flippy aka Ryan

Arrow.  :cool:


G6dub on here has a caddy, and they have 20vt'd it. So i would think they are the people to get in touch with if you need any massive tuning advice from them. Other than that, mk1 section is your place to be.  :cool:

all you need to do now is drop the front using mk1 golf shox and flip the rear axle over to lower the back. i think you can buy a kit to do it but its meant to be easy enough with whats already there.
