HI all,

i am sure there has been a lot of people doing this build so this build wont come to anything out of the ordinary.
I do like to try and do everything my self to keep the cost down.
so here it is a 2010 caddy SDI , i bought for £500 due to the engine knocking , ( upon inspection it has ZERO oil in the engine )

I have some parts for the engine conversion from other projects iv had previously i will upload some pictures shortly.

hi again all,

here is the van ex British gas ?
it cleans up not to bad the body work has some poor bits but it’s to be expected i’m going to have a bash at repairing and painting my self ... what’s to lose ?

iv been and bought a touran bumper and i’m having a go at painting for the first time ,

i am also in the proses of buildings the spare pd150 engine i have here some pictures i will be porting the cylinder head as the cylinder head is off so i don’t know why you wouldn’t !

Hello and wellcome! I see you already have big plans for the van, from an SDI to a PD150 ( also with mods from what I see) I think it's gonna be quite a difference. For sure I will keep an eye on your build. What other upgrades do you have for the engine?
Good luck with the build

hi There,

thanks i hope i will not disappoint iv built a good hand full off 300+bhp PD engines , from ground up , with this caddy i wont be going for big power at all really , everything i build is on a tight budget with everything being done my self saving a lot of money in labor.
I am thinking to run a fairly small turbo gt1856 maybe with a ball bearing conversion , but lets see what comes up i will upload everything here and post as many pictures as i can.

all the best mate and stay safe

How’s your colour match?

I have not fitted yet due to the rain , but when i fit them i will upload a picture mate, Its my first time paining to i think the match maybe quite bad.
I do have a polish machine so maybe i can somehow get it to look some what ok.

keep an eye on the thread ! All the best mate

hi all,

Not much of an update,
iv finished porting the head may just need a polish but i will be skimming the head tomorrow.

here’s a few photos.

i am yet to collect mk5 gti seats and steering wheel
and also waiting for a delivery of side door rail covers
new wheels
and new turbo

i will add pictures of the parts once i get them
