As my last Caddy where sold, i felt for an upgrade to a facelifted one.
I found a great project Caddy, i belive its been what you call a long hauler for a company in norway called thermo transit.
It has 236.000 km on the clock, the service book is full, and the car is in great shape, exept from a pretty rusty hood.

your first pic doesn't seem to have the bbcode available?
sounds like a solid base to start from, minus the bonnet
what are your plans?

you don't need to use the insert image tool when using Flickr. it has the code in the line, so just copy the code out the pop up window and paste it straight in and you're good to go. look forward to seeing the updates. nice wheel choice too

Thanks Blubeard
Yeah Leeh, got rid of them as soon as i got the car home.
Found a set of 18" in my basement, and filled all the chips in the hood with paint. Good for now

Last night i bought 8 spraycans with matte black paint, ripped out the A-pillars, shelf and headliner.
Painted everything black, and installed Golf leather steering wheel and Passat alcantara/leather seats, and i got around to mount my 9" ebay android system.

I have no idea, you can buy my OEM steering wheel cheap if you want to. But you will need a new airbag
Som things have happend during the last days, got a set of vmaxx coilovers mounted. And the Omanyt 9x19 with wintertires on.
