Until I saw the pic of the engine, I was thinking "did you find that in a museum?". Damn, it looks good!

Looking GooD :rolleyes:

(with a capital D)

@Airtime: Plans? I hope he's quite finished with it: It looks brandnew, everything done to it in this state won't make it better.

(lowerring and rimms are offcourse the obvious, but hey: it's a caddy: it should at least look like it could haul some tons-o-equipment!)

Sorry for the absence, guys. I've just been having too much fun driving it to be on the puter much. I can't stop grinning and it's starting to hurt.
It's a totally restored truck (took 15 years - hasn't been on the road since 1991) and I'm the first Canadain registered owner. It's got a 1.6TD, 5-speed and Jetta interior with extra gauges. It'll get some engine mods (turbo downpipe, intercooler, TT exhaust, GTD injectors, oil cooler and a G60 Cast valve cover) and I'll probably drop it some and go for some oldskool wheels when I find just the right ones. I'll also be adding newer Mk3 door handles, smoked corner lights and euro headlights with "city lights" (all here new in boxes). :cool:

Thank you! The Truck is coming from Maryland and i bought it from an American Gi here in Germany long ago. It cane with Aircondition and a light grey vinyl interior...
What year is yours? Mine is a 1982.
Can you get me a rear bumper like you have?
Dubdoc
16-04-2006, 20:19
Wow, air conditioning. I miss that in mine and would like to add it. Mine is a 1981 turbodiesel 5-speed with a Jetta/GTI interior.
My bumper is a stock piece and I may know where to get one.

Would you interested in talking to someone in Germany for me?

Nice, didn't know that Caddy's have Scirocco (our it looks a lot like it) front end in the states.

I shouldn't do the Mk3 doorhandles I think. But like the looks already, and am curious how it will be with rims and all!

I wonder if eBay could help?

The square front end is an early (US) Caddy stock front end. Remember, my truck is a 1981. They weren't made in Germany till 84-85, I think. My grill is a Rabbit one, but close to stock.

I allready thought I saw a differnce with the usual stock!!!!

26-04-2006, 22:23
I don't get it:
This front is a stock USA 'rabbit' or A1 front isn't it?

like this GTI @ TechnoClassica Essen 2006:

OR is it a slightly different one?

@Dubdoc: I think better forget about this guy on ebay before you send him money and get nothing for it!!!
Dubdoc

Yeah, the guy in germany doesn't want to sell tonneaus, I guess. :chair:
