So on goes the Caddy build. It's now been painted, just the rebuild now. Few pictures of it during paint.

We're getting there. Bit of work over the weekend and the van will be put back together, outside will be finished, lowered and wheels on. Then it's away for plylining.

Thanks fella's, There is certainly an massive amount of pride seeing the little Caddy in the condition it is now compared to what it was 6 weeks ago. @Phil, yea it's about 33 mile from where I am, not that far away tbf, I was there last week actually :lol:

Great job Gareth. Did you tackle the painting yourself or get it done somewhere? It looks like a great job! I'm also based in Belfast actually.

Progress has been slow on the van as it's the 12th holidays here in Northern Ireland. Only back into working on the van today.

I was able to get a set of Touran front seats, Bulkhead covers and a glove box door.

Image

Was able to do my axle flip and get my coils fitted today, pretty happy with how it's sitting already. I'm not planning on lowering it anymore at the rear as I'm looking to put a tool box in the rear of the van. Also got my spoiler fitted tonight, just need to get all the handles back onto the van and the cabin sorted and it's nearly there.

Pretty delighted with the way the vans turning out, so much I still want to do to it. Touran carpet and armrest in the front next, along with new steering wheel. Then maybe after that a set of VW Motorsports, but I like the look of the Rotors ATM.
