Right here we go this is hard for me but ive had so many caddys i feel it may be time for a change
i purchased this truck a year ago and on the way home the rear wheel bearing exploded so i felt it needed a good over haul!
Before reading this or offering me swaps or coming to view please note this is not a mint truck, thats not what was intended when i did it, its ratty, there are many imperfections and its used as a truck! saying that it is very solid as far as caddys go and its very reliable and ive never had a car that turns so many heads!
i took it in the garage and completely stripped it then the work started it has had:
American early westy front grille headlights and front panel imported from the states (very rare+expensive)
1600 gtd engine+ 5 speed box out of a b3 passat having covered 110,000 miles (cambelt kit+waterpump+service)
Big front mount intercooler with 2.25inch pipework
straight through 2.25 inch mild steel exhaust that comes out in the bed like a tractor with a flapper on it
fully undersealed
completey polybushed throughout
new gear linkage bush kit
braided fuel lines and new brake lines both run inside the cab to avoid catching them on the floor
classic ford zephyr bench seat modifyed to fit and looks perfect!
hand brake has been moved next to the gear stick!
brand new flat glass rear window
brand new rear bed panel
new bearing and brakes done before i took it off the road
coilovers up front
flipped axle on the rear with extended u bolts and 3 inch blocks
rear axle has been shortened an inch each side to allow for the wide wheels!
banded steels 8.5j fronts 10j rears, tyres all good tread rears have slight scrubbing
custom made rear bumper
beetle aeriel bolted to passenger wing
tiki style wooden gear knob!
resprayed in old english white can come with a spare 2ish litres of paint
bad bits
handbrake was only a temporary measure its not the prettiest i was planning on having a leaver in the dash
the jacking points at the front are a little sacabby and may require a small amount of work in the future
the floor pans are dented as previous owner had it very low, no rot or rust though
head liner is a bit tatty
the engine has a slight out leak pretty sure it just needs a new sump gasket
Has slight clutch slip but i will be investigating this this weekend altough they are only about 50 quid and a couple of hours work
heater has recently stopped working i think i pulled a wire apart behind the dash
bit of a ding in the passenger wind where i let it down to fast on a jack (adds to charecter)
the paint job is far from mint, it looks very cool but up close there are runs and parts without enough paint, i had never sprayed before and i feel i did ok but its far from mint! yet its exactly as i wanted it ratty and not afraid to use it!
ive probably forgot a few bits good or bad so ask if you want to know anything?
?
The engine is bullet proof, a few weeks ago me and a friend did an 850 mile round trip to newquay and back faultlessly, the first big journey and it did me proud, and it only cost 60 quid in diesel! this thing just goes forever having a sip every 10 minutes! its had the fuel wound up so it flys and smokes like a tractor which is perfect considering the exhaust!
it really is my pride and joy and i love it too bits I'm sure ill slap my self for advertising it but hey hoe
its got about 4 months tax and mot is out in 8 days so will be re mot'd
price wise I'm after £3500 considering what i paid and the amount the parts have cost me
also open to offers on anything cool, aircooled, diesel, anything really i can only say no!
any questions please text me on 07557911534 as my notifications wont alert to my phone
I'm located in wisbech norfolk
cheers for looking
