  • my mk2 caddy van build

    we this is my first post so first il say hi

    iv got 3 cars im playing with at the mo and this is my van that im try to get a good stacic stance on so here goes

    i took this


















    R plate (1997)
    4 owners
    full service
    all mot's from new
    173k (so just run in)


    then i took these with alot of lowering and it looked like this




















    i was guna band the g60's but im a split man at hart so they went for these that i got from germany



















































    but as i cant help but spend money this happened




    the van is now rocking pikey steels ;D ;D





    so with all 120 old bolts removed they looked like this






    then this package came to me containing the finest around






    and inside were these













    4x RADINOX outer rims............ 2x 2" for the front and 2x 3" for the rear so van will run 8x15 and 9x15



    i had then acid dipped as im not kean on blasting







    then the bbs came back from the powder coaters and i got busy..............very busy






























































    soooooooooo the verdict is the red is not the same red but all will be explained


    oh and the van will be painted Porsche GT3 RS dark Grey soon i hope

    pic to show colour combo





    now im trying to sort a nice stance out so i ordered koni vw beatle gas shockes to harden the rear up as the front is on coilovers anyway.

    wile i was there i lowered the front and its now running max neg camber to clear the front arches









    gas and adjustable too so respectively there on the hardest lol



















    heres some dish too



    the vans life before i had it was a drinks van but now it spends its live making contact with road




    i rolled/pulled/flared the rear arches to fit the 9s under and ready to be lowered another half an inch when i get time








    iv also made um my own seat subframes and fitted a set of very nice recaro seats













































































































































    so there we are so far i hope you like and enjoy following the build i will update as and when

                      steelies and mk II caddy rule

                      send u pic to c what u can do with steelies

                      must be the pics not doing justice to the wideness then..

                      ps what recaro's are those

                      the pattern resembles mine
                      but the seat itself is totally different

                              thanks guys i will update as and when as it will be changing soon

                              the seats are out of some ford but not the nomal rs turbo ones as these are 5 door seats so i think maybe a rare ford orion upgrade as there not sierra either

                              im from shropshire in the uk too
