What a stupid comment to make there is always one priiiick, I meant nice to work on my own vehicle as we build and convert new Transporter's and never have time to build our own stuff had a few friends up to help strip it and had a good bit of banter while getting the job done, so take your stupid comment else where.

Thanks for all the comments guys should be back from paint next Friday but I have told the painter no rush just get it perfect so who knows when its going to be back, found the perfect wheels for it, so my BBS LM reps are up for sale if anyone fancy's them just got to find some Recaro CS Seats or maybe some Mk5 GTI seats, Brembo brakes may pinch them of my Cupra R though, I do fancy a engine transplant to but will have to look into that when I have the funds and time.

Called over to body shop today to fit all doors back on to my van so they could carry on with the flat and polish they have done a amazing job the gun finish was spot on over 16 liters of paint went on to this van paint and lacuer alone coming in at £1100 alone before any labour charge. Should have it back to my workshop tomorrow to get it all built up and wax oiled. I decided to smooth the side rub strips and side repeaters out and so glad I did now looks great and really emphasizes the caddy's smooth clean lines. Will keep you updated on the assembly also will take some detailed pics of the paint work i the right lights as these lights make it look very yellow I think. I have done the vw badges, grills, mirror backs in a textured satin black which I love.
