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…

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?

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!

The Red Rocket! My Mk1 Tdi Build.....
My VAG family:
1982 Mk1, PD130 Tdi, 6 speed, ongoing project, to be my daily driver (one day)!
1983 Mk1, 1.8 Gti, stripped out, ongoing project, track car only.
1990 Mk1 Cabrio, 1.8 8v Turbo, G60 ECU, long term project (17 years so far)!
2008 T5 LWB, 1.9 Tdi, to be converted to camper when I've finished using it as a van!
1999 Audi A4 Avant Quattro, 2.5 Tdi, currently off the road, more work required.
2010 Tiguan R-Line, daily driver.
