Will get a polish up eventually but the cabby dash is starting to look good in the caddy. Much better than the bland original parts

I'd buy a chrome pen and make your gti badge silver to match the rest of the front, and add white indicator lenses with orange bulbs!
Well done on all the work!

Well I have done everything possible I could do with this it’s now off to a garage to do the final finishing touches and to be motd. Been a rollercoaster of a project but could easily do it all again

Unfortunately it’s been almost a year since I last did anything on the caddy tbh I nearly put it up for sale as with work and home life I just never had the chance to do anything with it.
However the garage where I get all my work done on my daily and all my MOTs done have kindly said I have free run of the place at weekends and evenings including all their own tools and ramps.
So today went down there gave her a quick look over and fitted a new water pump and a full set of silicone hoses. It’s not much but it’s a start hopefully will be done by spring as would love to drive her.
I have also been given a omp deep dish steering wheel to try then buy

Last year I had these made for me by retro retrims still yet to fit but will be one of the last things I do to stop them getting damp and mouldy

Got the cambelt, drivers engine mount and front suspension done in 5 hours this morning. Not bad considering all the rusted bolts
