Cant see the pics as at work but sounds like things are moving well for you.

Good work matey.

 

[CraigW]

Fair play to you mate by taking on a project like this.

You have did a fair bit of work since the start. You will get there in the end and it will all be worth it.

Like someone has already said, built not bought

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ye me

and literally built ,, from scratch

 

[crezz]

haha, indeed.. hopefully get an hour or two on monday to get a few more bits done, fingers crossed

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

finish it off and sell up to me mates rates

i would love one but the 2 seats will be a problem , mrs wont be happy sitting in the house when me and the son goes out

 

[crezz]

well, the caddy has been on hold for quite some time due to buying my first property, also it was time the caddy came out of the shed it was in, was meant to be in there three months...2 years later! haha, whats a real shame is that in total, ive barely been there and working on it at all the past two years

any how, it was on the move today, wound the coilovers up, inflated tyres, charged battery, first turn of the key, and a wham bam boo a wham bam bee, it fired up....stuck it on a trailor and transported it 20miles closer to me

seeing as the weather was nice, it was time to strip it down and get the last of he paint on, sadly i only had a litre and couldnt afford any more so mixed it up and away i went

got a better coverage then previous efforts and finally got the hang of the gun..well somewhat

pics

sorry bout the not so good pictures, paint didnt go down overly best but thats prob to do with the fact i dont know what im doing, i reckon a wet flat and a polish up would dod it good. here we are, mid rebuild... oh and it will be lower once i have mot done, cant get it on the ramps else

 

[Martin M]

Awesome stuff, Sam! I'm glad to see it's near completion!

 

[crezz]

Caddy looks amazing mate . The paint looks really good, great effort for your first attempt at it. .

Just think of it this way Definetely 'Built Not Bought'.
