Wilkos gti caddy

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

Hope it all goes well and you get it on the road and out enjoying it soon. Keep us updated on how it all goes.  

Rear dropped looks so much better

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

Its amazing what a huge hammer can do in 5 hours…
  Seriously you did well and glad to hear your back on the job.
p.s Let me know when the next Classic VW meet is  
Marcus.

Lol that hammer got used far too much lol. Yea will give you a text mate.

I’m pleased that I’m getting on with it again I had truly lost all love for it a year ago and nearly sold it but glad I didn’t

Good going  in five hours coming along nicely . Hard to get motivated  sometimes with the  cold and the shorter hours of daylight but that's big chunk of work outa  the way 👍🏻

know the feeling the cabriolet ground to a halt to
