Jon's black caddy, NOW FORSALE

Post by d3jpt »

Hi, after a lot of looking for a suitable caddy for my work I eventually found a black 06 tdi DSG with 45k.
I mananged to pick it up very cheap due to a dent in the side
Image
so picked it up nearly 2 weeks ago and then last week it went of to the body shop to be virtually fully repainted, colour coded and obviously touran bumper. :D
here's some pics when i got it home

Matt@reflex is painting me a sportline spolier and rail kit at the moment too.
As soon as it comes home which should be very soon I need to measure the front struts order and order coilovers, going on a road trip friday to pick up some wheels.
Tuesday its having a cambelt/waterpump and dsg oil change and wed can bus alarm.
Then pos soon ill be able to use it ;)
coments welcome please
Jon

Back from the body shop now, looking good, just been for a cembelt and water pump but he couldnt do the DSG oil change (specialist job :( ) now booked in on monday for that.
Today stripped the back and sound deaden floor and wheel arches (makes hell of a difference) and ply lined the floor. Getting there slowly.
Can bus alarm tomorrow.
Needs a clean already, black is a nightmare!
Pics up as soon as its clean!
