Great read pal. Just read the whole thing. Was already impressed on page 1 with the new steering wheel. Amazed at the rest!

Re: My caddy build and face lift
Thanks. There is still more to do but I'm still waiting for the suspension kit to come for the rear end and funds are short at the mo.

Unreal van Ken. Jealous is an understatement. I wish I had the knowledge to be able to just do half of that. Keep up the good work

Re: My caddy build and face lift
I've been a few things lol.
I was a rolling road tuner for 14 years but for the last 16 years I've been self employed specialising in engine reconditioning and cylinder head work.

Re: My caddy build and face lift
Yea it has been a very long time.
But they have made a few changes which will make the kit even better.
The biggest one in my opinion being that now the 4 links that locate the axel are now equal lengths which means the axel won't cause rear end steering in corners.
