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

i'll sort you out his number, he can do it mobile too

what did he charge you for your sill?

he definately seems like he does a bloody good job

he did more than my sill

only the left one though other side is perfect.

this mot'ed yet?

did a few bits today

cut the brake compensator off the rear axle so it doesn't fail MOT.

took the angle grinder to the calipers as they where catching the rims.

Fitted new spigots rings made by Curtis_Caddy, very very tight fit but jobs a good un. all rims are on now

fitted new fog light

buffed front bumper with shoe polish.....lol

fitted smaller wing mirrors but may have to repair the drivers side as the adjuster is missing, the glass moves when driving along from judders and road bumps.

took a couple of snaps

i love it mate!

for some reason i think it looks awesome as it is haha, is it all going that beige colour? Incase you hadnt noticed i do like beige caddys haha

I like it on those wheels looks good

it'll be a similar colour to the beige when i have funds for paint job. I'm just using rattle cans on repairs at the mo

I love the wheels, being 13's mean it sits low to ground, think i might have some clearance issues

Looking Good.
Caddy's rule on 13's, just get a sump gaurd, Tiz knocked up one for me and i used it as a big ski to protect the sump, it grouded out loads but i never did any damage to any thing important.

looking good mate always wanted a caddy keep up the great work dude

i've just been tinkering about with the caddy and noticed the carpet under the drivers seat is soaking wet, it only appears to be the rear section.............any ideas where it may be coming in..?

rear window? does it have sealant, has the sealant gone hard?
i had mk3 cortina that leaked water seeped in the front screen when sitting about,the sealant had gone hard and the water run in through the cracks resealed it and it was fine.

nice caddy i see it hiding yesterday

when i took the window out for welding i picked all the hard sealant out, i didnt re-seal it as i wasnt sure what to use.....whats the best stuff..???

you saw my Caddy..??....you live near me then...??

Windscreen sealant try ebay i guess, give it plenty along the bottom of the window as the water runs down and round the window due to its shape.
i had the misfortune of trying to navigate my way round that estate in a
dustcart yeterday due to the main driver being off.

ahhhhh i saw u as i was getting in my audi, i wanted to get out quick before you blocked the road...............lol

caddy looks great mate

i think that beige colour would set it off nicely

haha i think we made that sumpgaurd a bit thick, we had to use the van to bend it but at least it protected everything

went for MOT today and...........................................................Failed ....................looks like it'll be the Audi again for the meet this Friday.

Failed on welding to rear quarter panels/inner arch
CV boot
no side repeaters (i knew it might as i didnt wanna drill my new wings)

all in all not a bad result tho

Doesn't sound like a bad fail. Nothing too major. Stick the repeaters on temporarily for the mot. Good luck getting it done.
December meet grand unveiling

i did think about pulling the wire up and taping the indicators to the wing mirrors, reckon they'd twig that i'll remove them again tho......lol.....might try and find some discreet led ones.......im pleased overall tho

as long as its legal at the time of the test then its all good
