First job was to sort the back out and fit a bike rack to make the van more car-like as this is my daily drive. Big thank you to my brother because to be fair I watched him do the carpet and everything I did was heavily guided by him.
Then it was time to go 6 speed as the flywheel was starting to rattle and I managed to get hold of a brand new box very cheap.
Lowering time! I fitted a set of KW V3. Left the caddy looking like this. The ride is very good indeed well worth the extra money I think.
I have recently fitted a Darkside GTB1749V Turbo upgrade with the addition of a de-catted straight through exhaust along with a re-map.
Now the van goes!! I really need it to stop now and I must admit I have always struggled to stop it when loaded on the standard set up.
As I like to be different and I have not seen it done before to a caddy I found some Aston Martin V12 Vantage Front callipers and paired them up with some Jaguar XKR 356mm discs and then spent quite some time on a mill and lathe making up the necassary caliper mounts and spigot rings for the discs.
This only left me with one problem. My brake discs are 14"dia and my wheels 15". so the hunt for some wheels was on. I wanted to be different as I said before and do somthing I had not seen done whilst at the same time look kinda subtle. And after being told that it could not be done, that was it! I had to prove them wrong. This is what I have ended up with.
I hope you like it - comments are always welcome. I am very pleased with the outcome and think all the hard work and swearing has been worth it.
