My 1989 VW Mk1 Caddy
In December, 2010 about 3 days before Christmas...i bought my Caddy
Heres the pic that won me over
Here she is, looking good but with half finished paint.
First thing i did to it was the things that HAD to be done...finish the paint job, install a sound system...and MORE STICKERS!! I also made a side exit as ive always wanted one
PIPE
4 months later...its slowly getting closer to the Caddy I had in my mind when i saw the Pistonheads advert. I have installed new crosshair lights, a Gti Front Lip, a new Grant Steering Wheel, and a pair of 8x13 Weller Wheels on the back, and a pair of 7x13 Weller Wheels on the front. All with just enough stretch to give it that attitude it deserves
Now, ive slammed it as far to the floor as i can without having my sump dragging on the floor (gonna look into raising my lump ) As you can see the lip had taken a beating and definitely isn't how it used to be haha but in my eyes...it suits the truck down to the ground!!
I then went onto checker my roof and re-checker my fuel cap using Frog tape and good ole Halfords rattle cans with the help of my Golden Retriever puppy Keith
At players 2011
Some random edits at my local skatepark
Enjoy and welcome to DubWhores!

Cheers buddy!!
I made my sidepipe Armed with an angle grinder and U-clamps. The original rear of the exhaust acts as the bend in the pipe. Can't wait to see your caddy bro
