Caddy home finally
 
She's finally home, and I can't stop grinning.





bobby-digital 08-04-2006 16:22

wow, lookin good. are you gonna lower it, or drive it original?

PerL 13-04-2006 00:17

Until I saw the pic of the engine, I was thinking "did you find that in a museum?". Damn, it looks good!

Airtime 13-04-2006 07:16

That looks awesome! What are your plans with it?

sjampoo 13-04-2006 08:46

Looking GooD :rolleyes:

(with a capital D)

@Airtime: Plans? I hope he's quite finished with it: It looks brandnew, everything done to it in this state won't make it better.

(lowerring and rimms are offcourse the obvious, but hey: it's a caddy: it should at least look like it could haul some tons-o-equipment!)

Dubdoc 13-04-2006 14:08

Sorry for the absence, guys. I've just been having too much fun driving it to be on the puter much. I can't stop grinning and it's starting to hurt.
It's a totally restored truck (took 15 years - hasn't been on the road since 1991) and I'm the first Canadain registered owner. It's got a 1.6TD, 5-speed and Jetta interior with extra gauges. It'll get some engine mods (turbo downpipe, intercooler, TT exhaust, GTD injectors, oil cooler and a G60 Cast valve cover) and I'll probably drop it some and go for some oldskool wheels when I find just the right ones. I'll also be adding newer Mk3 door handles, smoked corner lights and euro headlights with "city lights" (all here new in boxes). :cool:

This is my Rabbit,i own it since 1993. It has a tuned GTI Engine in it. I`m pretty sure this would be the only one here in Germany... :D


Dubdoc 16-04-2006 19:42

Very nice truck. Black is rare here.

T2_Ratte 16-04-2006 19:49

Thank you! The Truck is coming from Maryland and i bought it from an American Gi here in Germany long ago. It cane with Aircondition and a light grey vinyl interior...
What year is yours? Mine is a 1982.
Can you get me a rear bumper like you have?

Dubdoc 16-04-2006 20:19

Wow, air conditioning. I miss that in mine and would like to add it. Mine is a 1981 turbodiesel 5-speed with a Jetta/GTI interior.
My bumper is a stock piece and I may know where to get one.

Would you interested in talking to someone in Germany for me?

T2_Ratte 16-04-2006 20:34

RubenD 24-04-2006 22:21

Nice, didn't know that Caddy's have Scirocco (our it looks a lot like it) front end in the states.

I shouldn't do the Mk3 doorhandles I think. But like the looks already, and am curious how it will be with rims and all!

Dubdoc 26-04-2006 21:23

I wonder if eBay could help?

The square front end is an early (US) Caddy stock front end. Remember, my truck is a 1981. They weren't made in Germany till 84-85, I think. My grill is a Rabbit one, but close to stock.

I allready thought I saw a differnce with the usual stock!!!!

sjampoo 26-04-2006 22:23

I don't get it:
This front is a stock USA 'rabbit' or A1 front isn't it?

like this GTI @ TechnoClassica Essen 2006:



OR is it a slightly different one?

T2_Ratte 27-04-2006 20:57

Mine is also build in Michigan/USA...
@Dubdoc: I think better forget about this guy on ebay before you send him money and get nothing for it!!!

Dubdoc 28-04-2006 00:26

Yeah, the guy in germany doesn't want to sell tonneaus, I guess. :chair:
