- 1990 vw caddy mk1, decided it was time for a respray as the paint had crazed and cracked badly, after a very short time it was clear paint wasn't the main concern and so begun the restoration. lots of previous bodge job bits of welding cut out and repaired properly(not just a plate slapped over the rust n welded on), a few new panels and lots of hard work. was great fun doing it and I learnt a lot along the way.
p.s. the light blue was just a test coat so we could see any imperfections in the panels before we did the final matt metallic blue
Love those little trucks. Nice job.
Well done!
Good work👍🏿
Good job dude
Very nice! Looking to do all the body work on my Caddy soon. Luckily there will be a little less work! Well done.
Cheers mate, it's hard work but well worth it in the end, always smiling when I'm driving it now. Good luck with yours
Awesome restoration VW POWER
Cheers mate
Respect
Moi j'ai eu ce problème de corrosion avec mon caddy mk1 et il va à la casse
what is the wheel size and tire size
15x7 front 15x8 rear with 195/50 all round
@@mehammyg thx for the fast answer i was looking for some 16 bbs for mine Caddy but 15 looks good
@@aca192maric 👍 15s are a decent size to go for speedo still reads about right and doesn't affect acceleration, although seen plenty with 16s on so it cant be that bad
@@mehammyg real reason why i need 16 with tall rubber is becouse tomorow im buing automatic transmision 3 speed to put in my caddy and gearing is to low for diesel 1.6 engine and there is no way to make it geard properly with automatic transmision so... 16 is the must :D
@@aca192maric ah fair enough mate, gearing is definitely very important with that engine mine was a 1.6d when I got it but it died so I replaced it with a 1.9td aaz engine
Not a fan of those wooden planks
The stake sides, fair enough entitled to your opinion, goes with all the other wood inside and outside kind of the theme 😁👍
I have an 81 caddy.
And swapped over to the wood grain instrument surround as soon as I could.
