    Default Millworm's daily caddy build

    It's a well know fact that i cant help but fiddle with any car i own, and my new daily is no exception. After I realised that my escort was a giant money pit i decided to git rid and ended up taking a mk1 caddy in part ex. a few days later my nova was written off leaving me without a car so the caddy being a reliable diesel took it's place. When i got it it was rotten words can't explain how bad it was but after a few afternoons welding its actually come up really well, part of the deal in taking it was that it came with a the panels it needed so was a winner for me.

    pic of when I got it, note the hole in the front panel ,and the lower part not even bothering to exist (the comps didn't come with it, i tried my best though )








    I got it home and wasted no time taking the front panel off as i knew if i didn't it'd end up being put off for ages





    found a bit of rust behind the rotten wing, as it's hidden I just cut it out and plated it

    it came with a rebuilt flipped axle and a set of coil overs so it would have been rude not to...



    being multicoloured wasn't doing it for me so i got my spray on, fitted a white wing and tided up the tailgate





    Picked upm some crystalk clear headlisghts off a mate, and got a splitter and clear indicators too and shrunk my number plate while I was at it


    the 1.6 na diesel isn't cutting it anymore so I got this... 1.9td time, no ecu pure mechanical diesel so winding up boost and fuel shouldn't be a problem

    I've had several VAG cars mate, as most know I spend some time with the boys at The Phirm, (VAG gods) if I didn't have a nova I'd have a Mk1 golf, the scene is proper cliquey though and modifying a Mk1 is sacrilege!! Where as no one cares about a nova!!!

    Really like the caddy, I'm not into vw's but I've always liked these. Just need some decent rims to finish it off.
