I'm liking this thread.
Shame Caddys didn't come with the same rear suspension as the Tourans - installing the 4motion in my Touran was fairly easily.
Keep it up!

So just a quick up date on this a few more bit have been ordered like uprated anti-roll bar for the front new front wheel bearing and anther set of big front brakes I've removed all the spot welds from the bits on the rear chassis legs and cleaned up was going to send it away to have it all dipped but at £300 I didn't think it was worth it as majority of it will be cut off.the unit has been cleaned and floors painted ready for next weekend when the big strip down starts on the caddy front and rear of it just gota get the big stands built to hold the van up lol

Also forgot to say obviously because I'm running the heldex rear diff I've been a bit worried about it working with my engine ecu but after a long time researching I have found a company that does a stand alone ECU control unit what allows me to play around with the heldex have a look

I just took my aero mud flaps off when I repaired my rear wheel arch. Broke them getting them off so they won't be going back on
