Hi there. 

I've just signed up, and I'm here to show I can follow the rules

Who am I?
I'm a middle-aged bloke, father of two, A Mechanical Engineer for a huge Swedish company, classic over-thinker, and armed/hindered by severe ADHD. 
I'm not a Swede by birth, but I am by citizenship - The rest of my life is a stereotype: We drive Volvos, my Missus used to design for Ikea, and we drunkenly dance like frogs around a giant phallic symbol for midsummer... (this coming Friday) 
None of that is useful info...  But maybe this is? My Garage, Carport and workshop areas 

What brought me here?
I recently got my filthy hands on a 2000 VW Caddy (II), which seems to essentially be a Felicia Pickup with uglier badges on it. Every time I had a question over the last week or two, it has been instantly answered by a google result with BriSkoda's forums coming up with the the goods. Hats off to the creators for keeping most of the content available for Non-Members. 

What am I going to be asking about and doing?
The Pickup I have is a "spare" vehicle, that I can enjoy working on when I have time. It'll eventually become a "hunting vehicle". (Slightly increased ground clearance, chunkier rubber, room behind the seats for a couple of rifles, and maybe a winch system for getting wild boar into the back.. or something....)

But for starters it's getting the interior and some features from a 1.6 GLX I found in a mate's scrap yard. It'll also get some seats from an old 3-door Astra, (because they flip forwards) and a full going-over to eliminate rust and rattles... and THEN I'll head down the road of over-engineering fun stuff. 

Med Vänlig Hälsningar!
