Gee's new ex BG Caddy Maxi

[gee101a]

Finally got my ex BG Caddy Maxi at Measham auctions this week. Quite a bit of work (and expense ) planned for the coming weeks.
Ordered a v maxx coil over kit yesterday, hopefully get that on as soon as it arrives.
Booked in the paintshop for colour coding in 2 weeks time. In 2 minds whether to do just bumpers and leave rubbing strips handles and mirrors black for a bit of contrast as I'm also going to be fitting black roof rails. Suggestions /comments welcome!
Quite a bit going to happen quite quickly then be interior and remap when funds allow.
Probably going to need some advice over coming weeks /months please!
I'll add pictures to the thread as I do stuff.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Gee, if you dont mind me asking, how much was your maxi including fees and what was the mileage? I assume is a 1.6 tdi.

Cheers,

Mike

I'm interested in what you're going to do just bought an ex BG maci myself!

[gee101a]

Arrived today.
Very good service!

Mike,
Paid £3950 which is £5270 total including all fees and vat.
Got 82k miles, body pretty good, few bits of paint getting done as well as colour coding probably more cos I'm fussy than really necessary.
Wrote a few prices down as follows.
61 reg 32k need bit of paintwork 4900 plus fees and vat
61 reg 51k 3 main dealer stamps 4800 plus fees and vat
61 reg 75k 1 service 3900 plus fees and vat
61 reg 19k 1 service tidy 5600 plus fees and vat
11 reg 42k no service history bit of paintwork needed 4900 plus fees and vat.
The British Gas vans seemed to get a lot of interest, fetched a little bit more than I was expecting, also spoke to another guy that bought one and he said the same.
If you want any more info let me know.

Yeah hoping to keep posting pictures as I go!

Bit of an update!
The Maxi has gone away for painting today, colour coding the bumpers then there's a few bits here and there that just need tidying up a bit.

Front coil overs are on, just need setting up.

Rear end also done, left it one hole off lowest setting for now, see what it looks like once the wheels are on!

Ready to go to the paint shop

[gee101a]

New brakes arrived today!

MTEC grooved and drilled with black coating, front and back
