This is ace!

good work :)

cheer guys , I'm trying ,,

just when i thougfht i was getting somewere i deceied to rip the rear carparts out to find more rot ,,, didnt look bad until i gave it a few wacks with the hammer

there was more too below the seat mounts so thought chuff it , i rip it out

poped a plate on

then bent the gearstick to save catching the dash

quick fit of the carpet ,

then realised like i idiot , i need a rear carpet , too lol ,ill make a mount for the gear surround to tidy that bit up too

right not mutch to this after , due to wheather

so , thought id modify the mk1 heater controls to fit the mk4 controls and they work a treat

then refitted it

and wired up the cig lighter lol (may come in for something)

and double checked all the dash wireing all seems fine

next i need a decent steering wheel i reckon

wow... just wow! what a guy, some skills serious skills! i reckon a wood sectioned leather wheel woudl eb cool to match your 4 motion knob :-)

i think ill have it plastic coated instead as if i spray it will rub off quick,

tuck a risk and bought this with removeable boss, as i thought its come from a mk1 , should be ok for the caddy(i think)

and oil cooler arrived too ,, more things to fit lol

right small start on the wishbones

first some solid round bar

then cut and weld in place

and bit of black spray poped on and refit

may help a bit i supose

right thought id better start on the seat frame again didnt want it ripping out of the floor so add some decent 2x2 box and rips the old seat mounts out

then made a decent strong box for the seat mount that shouldnt go any were soon ,and add some chassi strengh too ,

then add to make a few adjustments as I'm 6ft 5 and not a lot of room with the size of the dash in a caddy ,,

have to get more steel to finsh the other side lol

i was looking under the wear the old leaf springs used to be and the chassi and wasnt happy with it , so , it had to be ripped out ,

as I've now realiseing i need a stronger chassi

fits bang on inside the caddy chassi ,

carnt see that buggar going any were soon

not mutch due to coming down with the useal man flu ,,lol

so managed to finish off the welding ading more strengh to the chassi too

so decided I'm going to make a fuel tank on the rear as this will help with weight transfor as well/once I've finshed off the other side too

so ill not be needing a fuel flap anymore so ill weld that up as well

and nice clutch pot arrived too ,unsure if ill use it thow

this is quality mate should get some serious speed out of this, although for looks go stealth mate muchos respect

no ideas regards colours ill run it rough look first until I've finished adapting , these are ok for 160 plus

dam gispsy/pikys tryed nicking my caddy yesterday afternoon , they knocked on the door and just because no one was in they wrapped a chain around it and pulled it across the yard and wer just about to grab it and thow it on the rear of there wagen when lucky a neibougher spotted, them , so it was time to move it and fast , lucky they only damaged the towbar/discs and covers along with the engine sump , ,,as aparnlty pikeys have a law which is any vechical with no wheels belongs to them ,, wait till i catch up the the fu....ing assholes

few pics

well not too mutch to add at the moment

so steering wheel arrived and fits spot on with the electronic steering

and thought id chop the ecu loom to fit a contector to try match standalone to stock mk3 golf wireing plug and what a stressful job ,, lol mind finaly all cut ,colour colourd and wired up ready for re fitment

i blow the stand alone ecu ,start of last week,with a coil back feed grrr , so , more re strip of wireing and repairing ,but after a week ,managed to refit the parts and pop a quick few map/setings to get it runing ,(stressfull with settings lol/

then thought might as well add the wideband , another headack ,because of were the exhaust is i had to make a hole back of the bulk head (2 layers of steel ) then because of the large plug , had to attempt to resolder stainless wire (nighmare /with a soldering iron lol) now sorted

(still no gauges working thow/speedo/works lol

thought id add the led for the wideband heater flashers til its ready , works a treat

short video of the ms video ,, needs more tuning ,but now main problems are sorted as well as i wire had come off in the ms contector causeing stress

View My Video

more tuning when the intercooler is piped and sorted

thought id have a hour at makeing a fuel tank ,

first lump of stainless, should add some extra weight balance too

then tryed out my plazma cutter great piece of kit

then a quick buzz around with the welder lol

filled it with water to check my welds lol (leak free left it for a hour )

top and pipes to sort 2moz

a dam oil leak too ,, another prob to be sorted

height of the caddy /it will have to do

bit of tank makeing 2day ...

more plazma cutting

quick zip around for fuel sensor

then a couple of tempory fits ,,nicely clears anti roll bar

make a few fasterners tomoz ready for fuel pipe work next

thats is dedication to dubbing :)

u got skills mate.

fair play

Yea phenominal skills there mate. Honestly

awesome mate just awesome! sorry to hear about the pikeys, they wodul of been shocked when they got it home... this mofo has 4wd haha! i can picture it now.

cheers guys , just a bit of homemade fun to me ,, but if u all like it , thumbs up from me lol , little more this after

well managed to sort a few bits this after , first made some fuel lines for the caddy

next deceied to chop the fuel flap out the boady

rare site lol, inside ,rot free

then went around the other side and chopped another hole out for the to refit the feul flap

not bad for a trail cut ,there was a slight gap so ,thought id add a filler rod , and welded up nicely

quick weld up

and grinded off

then oppss first thought id welded it wrong because its upside down ,must have got a bit carryed away , but i pref it to open this way lol ,little late now anyway

then a quick filler neck start on the pipe

Think he used a plasma cutter to cut it out, thats why its so thin.

awesome! thats one thin ass grinding disk mate haha! why did you cut it out 1 side and refit in the other btw?

just marked it around the fuel flap and cut it out with a thin cutting disc , same with other side so i could replace , old hole with the other piece of steel ,,plazma cutter was better on stainless and saved a lot of time ,, :-D

ahh fair enough looks great, i thought it was abit streight for a plasma cutter....

Good luck

its not a problem getting straight/curved cuts with the plazma too ,, i.e fuel tank :-)

well its now burning rubber well , and upgraded to the r32 engine 3.2 24v turbo 6speed 4wd holds well, along with changeing ratios,runing 25psi of boost , and says bye to the little evos , too ,lol few pics
