Phils Caddy Van

[pip_vrs]

Well i sold the Audi A4 Allroad as the 3.0 V6 TDi was averaging 34mpg and basically a waste of money as i'd racked up 21k in 11 months of ownership.

nearly bought a mk2 fabia vrs bit didnt like the idea of a oil guzzler.

 

I've had a caddy before and theyre perfect for bikes etc so i ended up with this. Facelift 1.6tdi, full A/C, electric windows and mirrors etc.

First thing was hit it with a lowering stick.. wanted it sensible and noce to drive daily but still not 'a van' height. 

Rear done

Fronts done, scope to go about 1.5" lower all round once i find some wheels i like. Probably 16" banded steels.

How can i get a photo under 10MB??

Cleaned out the back, removed all the ply lining so i can put in sound proofing and insulation. Got started on the sound proofing but then it started raining..

Thats never going to keep up with us going to Germany! We will have to give you a days head start ....

It's not bad for 102bhp, I'm sure it'll be mapped by the time we go.

Whilst your at the fuel stations i'll catch up

On a more serious note, if that bar happens to be the width of a bike fork, bike hangers?

I knew you'd come up with a sensible answer in the end.. correct.

It was actually the first thing that came to mind, I'd just much rather be flippant.

He has a Fabia to finish first. Hoping to do a day at Blyton in September to shake down the Ibiza... need his car for bits incase I break any

Finally got round to changing the RARB bushes. Hopefully that stops the knocking over little bumps. New wheels arrived and taking them to get banded tomorrow. 6.5j going to get 1" and 1.5" banding done. Fronts im playing safe as i cba recking the arches.

 

Now i cant even add a picture???

[pip_vrs]

It was because my Freedom ran out

 

Can see in the pic the old bush was well worn out. Drove to work and no squeaks, bangs or rattles now.
