Philplop Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Thanks boys and girls!Yeah, really pleased with the colour now I've seen it polished and out in the sun. Black fake suede headliner is in, brown carpet almost in, tan leather scirocco seats waiting. Doorcards are being done in the fake suede too, as I couldn't find any leather to match the seats. Will see how it looks, can always change bits like that easily enough later.Cheers match, but seats are sorted! It's a 1.6 diesel powerhouse!I think you are Jon! Not that we could see much sitting on the floor. Well Matt, inspiring people is just what I do on a daily basis. Unfortunatley we've started on project "sort out that sh*thole of a garage" so I can't work on the caddy again just yet, but I'll be on it again as soon as I can.

stealthie Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Good going Phil, mine is still way way off! we only just started the welding and so far have found a load of rot in the rear arches and the bed is Kippered! New arch and sill is tacked in place on the rear right and the bed is also cut out now too.. Mine looks like this:A long way to go yet!

Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Recently started to get into mountain biking a bit, so built a bike rack for the Caddy. Holds 5 bikes.Then got some raised topmounts from Coltech Classics and got the chassis notched. These two mods have improved the ride and comfort massively. It is way nicer to drive now. No constant scraping on the driveshafts and it has a bit of travel in the suspension. And I could go a lot lower if I wanted to. Mega pleased with them.Now I just need to get my arse in to gear and get a front bumper, fit a stereo and get something with a poke under the bonnet.

Silver! Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Creamy! See the Lupo GTI is still in the BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Maybe I will Chris! Need to take it out of MOT mode though, it's currently back on standard top mounts with mega reverse rake and has big indicators cable tied to the grille.The Lupo certainly is still there, sorted all the brakes out the other day, just need to bleed them and I can drop it onto it's freshly refurbed silver Bathursts.Wanna buy it?

Philplop Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Front bumper on. Really finishes off the front end, chuffed with it. Raised the suspension up a bit to a more practical height. Still not sure how long the duckbill will last though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
