Matt@Reflex's new Caddy project **Feb 2012 update**(Wheels)

[Matt@Reflex]

Right here we go from the very start.
I have just returned from buying the base for my next Caddy project.
It's not in the best shape but i would be looking at close to a full respray after some body mods.

Anyway here it is. A Cat D SDI 2007, 47,000 miles and yes it will be staying this colour
It will be delivered next week so hopfully get the coilovers on next weekend and work from there.

I'd say those smooth panels will be torcher to get right matt but fair play to ya for saving it from the breaker

I've got a lovely miracle puller that will make light work of the dents and i will be welding up the handle in the side door.
I might buy a new wing though

I will take photos of dents coming out and fingers crossed it will look easy.
I better get the cement mixer ready for the filler

Liking the colour. Should look tasty once your finished with it

As for that front wing, bit of T-Cut will sort that

I was thinking it might need one of those paintless dent removal guys to come out and fix it. I heard they can do miracles

the touran bumper is only the upper part in primer not bump strip, grill lower section etc...

for touran bumper best bet is german ebay.....ebay.de, that where i got mine from worked out about 150quid all in delivered complete

[Matt@Reflex]

Thanks guys but as my van needs a new wing, bonnet,front panel and bumper etc i really should bite the bullet and put the facelift front on it.
I have a vision in my head of it slammed on black rims and the chrome part of the facelift bumper painted black and i have also noticed that some of the new R-line headlights are black inside. I'm just glad the van was cheap and that i got good money for mine. It makes it a lot easier when you are spending free money

[jutty]

Facelift good way to go Matt
