The Next Car Project
Well, the Porsche and the Renault 5 projects are almost done and I was looking for a new challenge when I stumbled on this for the paltry sum of £250.
Its a 1986 VW Caddy, not sure what ill do with i yet.

Its got some seats in the back, but they belong in the front. :lol1:
-
I think that’ll look great when finished. 😀
-
Its going to be sitting on its belly, painted a nice grey colour and a cool set of wheels.
Thats about it.

it would be cheaper just to buy a late model skoda pickup, and just swap the tailgate…..

Peter, Peter, Peter, I am trying to recapture my youth and remain cool in my 30’s.
A Skoda just wouldnt do.
Can anyone surf?? :lol1:

Think it would look pretty cool in black and on its knees, a bit like this one

I a vain attempt to recapture my youth, I am renovating a 1971 MGB. It now runs lovely and just needs a new sill and back valence before the spray job. Should be ready (money allowing) for the Spring/Summer of 2009. Nice little day trips to Whitby, the sun out, the roof down…. 😀

It is a Chrome Bumper (not those horrid black rubber ones) and also it is the wire wheel version. I am trying to keep it as near the 1971 spec as possible. It only came in Red, Green and Black that year. The one thing I am putting on it that differs from the 1971 model is, Seats with Headrests and an anti roll bar, as I have no confidence that the windscreen would save my neck in the event of turning the car over.
As for the lead free fuel..You have to add a lead additive to the fuel every time you fill up

Craig, im sure Moss do an unleaded head conversion. Doubt it will be cheap though.
-
Ha!
Moss do every thing from a spring to a body shell and beyond.
I have spent hours pouring over their magazine, it is just like a Haines manual but with less oil and dirt over it!!

Due to the amount of Mini’s ive done I am a little too familiar with Moss lol!
