MK1 Caddy Re-Build

Here's my MK1 Caddy. She's had a lot of love from myself and previous owners, but daily use has taken it's toll on her. The time has come for a full re-build…



Standard 1.6D Engine Out




MK2 GTD Engine Out of Donor Car, Engine Mounts Corrected




Almost Empty Engine Bay


Began Stripping for Bodywork



Next Stage is to Re-build GTD Engine, and prepare Caddy for Paint…

 

Looks like a tidy motor - good luck with the build!

I think most members on here would have said it looks finished compared to theirs….mine included.

Nice mate, that's a great engine to put in.

Agree with Matt, why's it need paint? You changing the colour or keeping the same?

nice looking caddy    any other plans after the engine and paint?

Good looking Caddy, are you keeping it the same colour?

Putting in a MK2 Golf 1.6 Diesel Turbo (GTD) with a 5 Speed Box. Not the fastest Engine, but I had one spare, and it's used daily for work.

There's a few nasty dents in the Body, along with Bubbling Rust, so it's being Stripped Back, Repaired and Sprayed a different colour. Looks better in Photos than in person!

New Wheels, ready for a Refurb

Those wheels look gooooood  

Finally moved into my new Workshop today, time to get this Caddy finished!

It'll look awesome on those wheels mate
