My lovely Blue 1.6D Caddy....First Project!!

i hope i haven't taken on too much but i'm determined to get her back on the road and tidy. The farmer that had it before Chris needs shooting, the carpets were nailed in alone the seals !!......the weld plate that holds the accelerator lets in water and it has the biggest hole under the passenger seat, not to mention the expanding foam in the windscreen pillar...!
Thanks to Chris for selling this onto me and thx to Curtis for helping out on the night

looks like a good project, if i'd have had the cash i would have had it

for £250 i couldnt say no !

The carpets are nailed in from factory mate

Good luck with the caddy

I like seeing these types of resto's evolve

going to be a good'n once shes done dude, cant wait for updates

done a few bits while im waiting for new floor pans and sill to be delivered. attempted to remove rear bumpers but they wouldnt shift.

Tailgate off

Started to buff plastic window as i couldnt see jack sh*t thru it



then got carried away and waxed the whole thing.....lol

hi, i have a cabby shell thaty has a few bits that you may want.

pm me if your interested.

dean

did a few more bits, progress is slow as im doing what i can in the evenings after work, having to work outside which doesnt help.





Wings were welded to front panel so had to be grinded off

ive been reading this restoration/and slight modificatons of a caddy on Retro rides,
it might give you some ideas and its a bit long winded.
