The Kwacker Orange should sit really well with the Brown
nice one Sam. (Slowly) keep up the good work

 

[crezz]

any updates on the caddy?

 

[crezz]

nah mate, im in dire need of a door and compressor, but in the middle of buying a flat so have no money going spare, really want this finished but the way its going, its looking like it will have to be sold

 

[Fl@pper]

sheeeet that grille's gonna look banging on that colour - nice one

paint the door matt black and bang it on dude new craze, better still no door at all

anyway these cars are never finished so go with the flow

 

[crezz]

haha...i so want it done, get a compressor sorted and id get some more inspiration i reckon!.. need it on the road as beefa needs some loving.....arches and bumper! feck sake man!...

 

[rich.h44]

arhh gutted hope you can find the spare cash to keep it it would be a shame to let it go!any good look flat hunting

 

[crezz]

flat has been found, got a date for move too, gota sell up lots of bits and pieces, so far not the caddy sold the estorils to fund council tax but managed to source a cheap cheap set of tyres for the other rims

as for caddy spraying, not having much luck at all with it, considering selling myself on the street and paying somebody to do it for me, ie the final coat, they wont have to do nothing but lay the paint down ect.. may start a fund raiser for me! lol

 

[Martin M]

Liking the wheels, Sam! I bet they're going to be fun to keep clean. Can't wait to see this finished, I have a soft spot for Caddy's

 

[suj]

looks good crezz, they equips?

congrats on the flat

 

[crezz]

im pretty sure they are mate, 7js an offset of et26 iirc...thanks martin be soon, a few lame but taster pics

painting hasnt been completed properly yet as it needs to come out the shed, ive been in there about a yar too long so not in the best books! lol..

it will have a flat and polish and hopefully come up better, then when i get a free weekend and somewhere to do it, il have another go

just bolted up the front bumper, lights, grill, plugged existing loom back in, built back up the drivers door and hung, started sticking the interior back in.....pain in the ass that is! lol

 

[crezz]

i also just done a 200 mile trip to collect a passenger door so that is soon to be stripped prepped primed painted

 

[Fl@pper]

Just wanted to drop in a quick pat on the back for ya m8

I find looking back now and then helps as you realise how far you have got and what you have managed to do as it's easy forgotten with all the involvement and distractions at times

just think this was only what 18 months or so ago ?

mine was/is still chassis since then

Fair F'n Play to ya m8

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yes keep it going , all worth it

built not bought

 

[crezz]
