Mounted new grey pvc panels in the back of the Caddy, almost no weight, looks good and better than the oem stuff...

Today I ripped 2 1/2 sheets of birch plywood into a pile of bits and if I have my measurements right should make a nice boot buildImageImage
Here's for hoping, I have less than 4 week to turn this into something special plus get it carpeted out, busy busy!

Any pictures sounds interesting and I could do with saving some weight, might have to raise the van at this rate!

More work on the boot build, another 3 or 4 hours and it should be completed. I'll be honest it's a knock off of a "Amdro Boot Jump" even down to the stove and boxes. Image

Spent yesterday at Donington race circuit running support for this Porsche 993 at VAG Tuner Live show. Image

The call of the circuit was real.

The Relentless Tuning coilovers I had fitted have now settled in so it's time to get the geometry set up correctly now.
Image
The adjustable top mounts will help keep the camber at 1.5° and the aim is for 0.0° static Tow to help keep the inside edge of the tyres in good condition.

Triple R Composites front splitter is taking a battering at this height.
Image
I genuinely have no idea how people drive any lower, maybe it takes getting used to.
