'92 vw caddy sport

[scott1380]

well i still havent got the wheels on it, but ive been working away on the suspension in preparation. put the helpers back IN, as i can go low enough with them in and it keeps everything the way it should be, but i guessed the height a bit wrong and went a bit lower than previously




thats a 1p, which is 20mm. so i had to raise it back up a bit.

also got some new pictures with my brother the other day, pre-wheel pics







it can get out the drive again, just,


hopefully have some nice new pitures soon with the wheels, just need tyres!

rollpans look great, and i would be running one if it wasnt for the rear bumper. that bumper only ever came with the sport model, which makes it a bit of a rarity, not only that but its a minter too, so i couldnt part with it!

cheers for the comments guys, the stance is still under construction lol.

thats pretty cool mate. are those 14 inch rs's?

awesome, if only i could find one and i had the funds

i was lucky with this one, didnt have much cash at the time this came up but i just managed to scrape enough together, not knowing just how much would need to be spent on it lol. finding a good one is the main problem.

Dude you have done some really rad work here! I am loving the build. Keep up the great work!

right well i got my tyres fitted last week, so now its just a case of making the wheels fit! lol

i knew they fitted no problem, and with a fair bit of stretch all round it would have been easy, but i dont really want a lot of stretch, so went for slightly wider tyres

all 4 rubbed but after a fair bit of adjustment and refinement i think i have it cracked!

few final adjustment's needing done and i'll get some pics up

[scott1380]

Wheels are on!

well after all the promises of pictures i finally have some im happy to post. wheels are on, but stance isnt final, still some adjustment required to cure the scrubbing im getting on lock.

picked these up back in september and have spent the last few months refurbing them and getting them ready for fitting in the better weather, but couldnt resist a few pictures just now!

they're OZ Fittipaldi "fitti stars" as everyone seems to call them, havent seen another set over here, but i know there are a few on this forum already

3 piece splits, 4x100, 15x7 et28 and 15x8 et15.

when i got them, needing bolts and center cap badges, but looking pretty good! i'll put a wheel refurb "build" up later on.



couldnt resist a test fit, been dying to post this picture since september lol


built them up and sealed them with sikaflex


but had to change the colour 1st... body coloured centers ftw


got them all fitted the other night at about 10pm so went out for some late night shots, my brothers work again







well hopefully it was worth the wait! its the most complete its ever been, but still far from finished

thats 195/45 falkens all round, which seemed like a great idea at the time as 165/50's are so common on a 7j rim, but to be honest, trying to tuck a 195 under a mk1 arch wasnt easy (and still rubs a bit!) especially as i need to run a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper making the offset et23

comments always welcome guys
