Hi guys
Been on the forum for some couple of months now.
I got myself a 2005 Caddy Life 1.6i Natural Grey with 242000 on the clock.
Was a bit abused but I had a bigger vision.

Removed the interior panels

Re: Natural Grey Caddy Build From SA
Stop using photobucket - it sucks arse, and it won't be around much longer It's REALLLLLLLY slow, and doesn't let me look at the pictures anyway I'd like to see them too!
How does the 1.6i go?
I was thinking about putting that engine in a Touran, to avoid all the FSI crap... I already have one that's mostly R32 converted, so I might just make a FWD version 3.2 instead. The 1.6 is probably a good around town runner though - right?

Hi
How would i upload pics ? please advise.
The 1.6 is great fuel wise but dead slow on take off.
but generally happy with it, i'd love to install a Gold 5 GTI motor in it and have a R32 box installed.
will see how it goes.

Use the Tapatalk app. Then you can upload photos straight from your phone.
