Project Caddy... MOT... 200k & Beyond



The time has come to take my Golf GTD off the road and remove the engine for my caddy... Im car-less now so going to have to get it done ASAP.. Hoping to get it running over the weekend/early next week... so i and in for its MOT and I can take it to bugjam, Im just waiting on the remaining parts to come... Bug pack bush kit (every bush pretty much), gear linkage kit and beetle rear shocks

I hate working on diesels (esp in the rain).. everything is covered in an inch of oilly s**te :mad:

Sorry for the poor pics... i left it a little late in the evening and i was covered in the above s**te lol

The 5's taking a back seat... I will finish it... some time... Just saving up to get it how i want it :)

The french show scene is done and dusted for 09..... There is still loads of VW shows left to attend thus the focus on the caddy + I fancy hitting the track in late 09 with the caddy... It will be a Valver eater lol

not read all the thread

what engine is going in the caddy??

also, going to paint it up or rust ftw???
 
  MERCEDES CLS AMG
Thinking of dropping a 440 lump in a caddy - been offered a lump with quad set up ( will change for sixpack ) + suregrip rear & prop for £800. It will sit perfect in rear of a caddy. Will just chop back end of and fabricate a a frame for the lump and build it into the cab. Need a caddy first though. Think the vdub scene needs some fresh material.





Winston - i have a 1.9 T lump for sale fully built up with integrated engineering rods, JE pistons ( 82.5mm bored ) and AGU head ( big port ) Its timed and ready to roll. Just needs a turbo & inlet manifold. I will throw in a standard 02J box + paddle clutch and solid flywheel. The engine is good for 500 bhp. Its £1350 - cost £2000 to build. If you know of anyone that wants one theres a 1'er in it for you.
 
Matt - I will ask about.... Give up on the ibiza?... Caddys are ripe for abit of RWD action

Fil b - a 1.6 Turbo Diesel from my Mk2 GTD with a few mods... should push 130bhp+

Mugglesquop - once you get it you won't stop smiling..esp when your driving it

After rolling it off the drive to get some other cars on, we heard some scraping/rubbing.... Turns out the 8x13's had been rubbing on the shock (not to much damage)... so they where removed for now plus the 5 needs to lend them back for its photoshoot ;)
