Awesome VW! I never really liked those, but I find myself attracted to yours...

[csroka]

Cool Bullterrier to !!

This truck is perfect in every sense of the word.

I wish I could find a decently clean one to start with here; but they're nowhere to be found.

Yep, he's cool. It's my sisters dog. He's called Boris.

Thanks! This was also pretty beat up. There wasn't that much rust compared to other Caddys in Finland but it was full of dents. The sides close to the rear wheels were really bad. They still aren't that straight but alot better. This really needs one more respray (probably with the same manilla green but with clear coat this time). You can't really tell that from the pictures but it's not as good I would like it to be. But I'm slowly pursuing the vision I have in my head of this car.

wait this caddy was ARC9's caddy.

Correct-a-mundo Minty_Fresh. We are both from this tiny city of Turku. Never met the fella though, I bought this from his friend Lauri.

So finally the summer is once again here. As the Tramonts were nice enough to keep but kinda shy on the spec side I decided to make them wider. So now they are 8,5 inches wide in the front and 10 inches in the back. Beefy.

On the side I've been slowly building this 16v engine. If everything goes as planned it should be ready in couple months.
