Looking really good.
Do you mind me asking how you have fixed the lower seat belt point to the floor?

Top effort bud. And as for feeding the RVC wire through to the back door, I’m with you on the amount of swearing it made me do

Nice work Sam, great progress since I last saw it. Are we allowed to ask what wheels you have gone for.

Re: Whitey's White Caddy 4
Thanks for all the nice comments chaps
@Andy1234
I will get some pics up for you mate. I didn't actually do the welding / fitting of the rear seats myself. I work next door to a horsebox manufacturer (who also do a lot of camper conversions etc) so left the hard work to them. I have used some Touran seatbelts. The anchor has been fixed to the front lower part of the rear arches. The outside inner arch covers were removed and they made some strengthening plates for the bolts to locate to. I haven't fitted the plastic sill covers yet so will take some pics asap
@Hef
Aahhh mate, not sure what you can learn from here considering you have practically done everything possible to not only one, but two Caddys Respect sir
@Gizbod
Haha mate - what a nightmare that was! Glad someone else has experienced that f$*^ing sh%t b&*st1d job too hehe! Lo and behold my RVC isn't working! Got some weird conflict going on with the OPS at the mo
@Gaj69
Cheers Graham, nice to see you got your's lowered mate and I thought you'd never ask ha.... incoming....

Re: Whitey's White Caddy 4
So, for the first time I had the convenience of owning a van! Bumped into parcelforce down my lane with my new alloys. I ceratinly wouldn't have been able to fit them in my car
So here they are, opted for some 19" 8.5J et45 Audi RS7 (replicas.... because I don't have 4k spare for genuine articles ha!)
I like them... a lot
They look bigger than they actually are too... which is nice
Still deciding on tyres. Prob gonna go for some Hankook K120 or the Nokian ZLine's (seem to have good reviews) - 235/35/19s

Whitey's White Caddy 4
I've got 235-35R19 but the cheeks are rubbing in the inner arches. I got these 4 for just €150,- little used.
235 should be 225 max ...

Re: Whitey's White Caddy 4
I have no rubbing and with having XL they run smooth more rubber better ride. I’m still having to use my van as a work van. Looks great runs great. Love my caddy.
