	Avery similar caddy to this used to live around Dartford. I'd say from the looks of the exterior I'm surprised by the amount of rust, but it's a mk1 Caddy! I had a rotten one, learnt from that where they rust, sold it and bought a solid one! Not so easy to do nowadays!

	Not posted in a while but been busy doing lots of little and some big jobs. So far I have repaired the sil, repaired the bed, replaced the panel under the rear window and the rear window. I have also replaced the wings which took hours to get the gaps right.also welded in some lips into the rear arch that was a bit scabby.

	Those rear windows go for a bit over here, I couldn't drive a caddy without one and even then the seat wouldn't go back quite far enough. Looks like you've done a great job, I half cut my last one and swore not to buy another one lol

	Started on the inside today and got bed done. The bed isn't perfect and has a few patches on it but it's solid now and it's getting covered in wood so couldn't see the point in going over the top with it.
