Hi,
I ran out of money and time so need to sell my Caddy as soon as possible. It's very solid. Body is in great condition with no serious rust spots, just really really minor ones. Underneath it's suprisingly solid with just a couple of small holes under the bed but nothing major. Wheelarches are intact and under the body there's no major problems. This is due to the pickup being used daily for the last 19 years up until the day I bought it around a month ago. The interior is complete and in very good condition apart from seats. Dashboard is perfect, I took it out completely, cleaned it, waxed it and it looks great as well as all the electrics are perfect. There's no rust whatsoever inside the cab. The floor is very healthy. I also put in some nice soundproofing underlay and brown carpet from golf mk1. The car has MOT until 14/09 and tax till the end of August so it has to go soon. It has brand new brake discs and brake pads that haven't done any miles. There are few bad (but not too bad) points. One of the springs (driver's side) is probably snapped or just sagging a bit. Also rear brakes need attention because one wheel is a bit seized (it moves).  One of the back bumper bits is snapped off but it's there if someone wants to repair it. I was going to ditch them both. Wishbones would probably do with a change for MOT but they should be ok. One wheel is very rusty but there's a spare in better condition. Tyres are still legal (although I'm not sure, need to have a look). Driver's door is dropped a bit and the handle doesn't work very well + I painted it inside very badly (I was going to change the door anyway). Inside the back wall is painted in matt US Army Camo paint (I planned to paint the whole car like this and I still have all the paint left - can include in sale). The engine is sweet! It start first time every time and the battery is good to. I haven't started it in 3 weeks, gave it literally 5 seconds of cables and started with first touch. Now I start it every few days and there's no problem at all. It runs smooth with no weird noises. The engine is 1600d with 81k miles on the clock. The gearbox is 5 speed but has small problems with finding 1st and 2nd. It's had 2 owners from new (both on one farm). It comes with Ifor Williams style canopy. Despite the pickup having MOT and Tax I would not recommend driving it because of the spring and rear brakes. I'll answer any questions as soon as possible. I know how hard is it to find a Caddy as solid as this because I saw about 10 before I bought this one and seriously if I had a bit more money I would not even think about selling it! Give me a call on 07912605620 the price is £650 and it's really really cheap! Pictures won't really show how good the body is, the car is located in Aberystwyth, Mid Wales, come and have a look! Thanks
