| Got my caddy van today thanks to wigman on the caddy forum delivering it and taking away my VR.
Here she is folks
As most vans, this 1 has her fair share of battle scar's. She looks pretty sh1t at the mo specially on the stock Rims lol. All cosmetic's though so should look pretty sweet soon.
As you can see in the last pic, i also purchased some 17's off wigman aswell lol. Not my cuppa tea but better than stock and will do for now hey.
Gave them a quick rub down with some 1200 wet and dry then 1 satin black rattle can later, they looked like this.....
Gunna give her a good clean then the mods and and improvements will begin lol
Hope ya likey

good luck getting the bits you need today!  |

| Got the wheels on today.
Lowered the front coilovers approx 10-15mm more. To give you an idea, there's 3inches from the bottom Ring to the bottom of the thread on the shock. Also painted the grill badge black and secured the front bumper sides better.
 .
Looks loads better IMO
I then went out in search of parts for her. Had some nice scrubbage on the way so the angle grinder and hammer will be out on the rear arches in the morning 
Eventually found a centre console and mirrors from a mk2 seat ibiza, £40 for the lot. Also nicked the unused fag lighter and unit along with some dash blanks lol.
Had a bloody good day and to top it off, i got a new job back in the motor trade doing smart repairs! fantastic 
just hope my first day goes well tommorrow

| The Van cost me 750 already lowered professionally by the main man behind vwcaddy. com. Coilovers on the front.
12 months MOT
tax til end may
wheels cost 150
Probs could find a better condition 1 but i had this because it saved me getting the welder out to flip axle and the colour is rare!!
here's the for sale ad link

Cheers ALL!
Ed, got some stumpy mirrors to go, ibiza centre console. Just got a price on new front bumper grills from VW so will be ordering them in morning.
Gunna tidy paint work up as best i can for now, probs satin black the roof to hide the dents lol.
Need to sort some tunes as my new job is in Alconbury so 40 min drive gunna get depressing soon lol.
Fit some VR seats from a donor i used parts off to fix my old VR.
Oh, and just won an auction for pressed plates lol, £17 delivered!.
I did manage to cut back the O/S rear arch a little before i started my new job so it dint scrub lol. Gunna do a better job at a later date for when she's loaded up wit crap lol.
Even though the wheels look a little chavy, think they really work at the mo. Cant really go old skool on a modern truck IMO anyway. Still gunna keep my eyes peeled for 15's though
