New to the forum but not my mk1's! *Caddy Build in Progress* *AAZ*

[Jagerauto]

Hey guys my name is Hunter, I'm from Chesapeake, Va.

Had a diesel for a little over a year. Been building it for a year.. yes means I haven't driven it in a year, with the exception of h2o which ended badly.. Head was ruined when I got back home

Anyways I was building a 1.6TD Rabbit 4Dr, and this is close to when it was done, right before the bottom end ate itself and I started new..




To see the build thread see here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5683133-Project-NOT-making-SOWO-2012.-Story-of-a-82-4dr-LS-and-a-1.6l-Turbo-Diesel

Now for the caddy.. Build thread here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5920212-AAZ-Turbo-Diesel-Caddy-Build-*keeper*

When I bought it


Swapped the front suspension (not lowered) ans wheels/adapters


Removed fenders to find some rust..





The motor and 02J as it sits.. (changing color!!!!) Gold!!!



Removed all the undercoating! and POR15'd it all!






Cut a floor pan out of a donor jetta I have.




Thats where I'm at! I have not worked on it in a couple weeks. I need to get the sheet metal ready to weld in, call a buddy to come over and weld it.. call a paint guy, and get a nice cheap paint job..

How long did it take you to do those fender wells? seems like an easy couple days a piece..

5hours straight each side. An iPod and a long playlist and your set. From what I can tell the fenders are the worst/thickest and therefore hardest. I plan to do the rears as well.

[8v-of-fury]

Yeah, I was thinking about it.. but I have an extremely clean 84 Jetta. The only rust is one seam of the trunks floor, loovely lol.

Which is retarded,,, because for the 5 years I have been driving it the rear floor pans have been lakes.

Pulled the trigger on the stage two cam!

Received my CE2 harness/cluster today!

[CrazyAndy]

Looks like you've come quite a ways already.  Like I said in the other thread, old engine colors are too loud, go I'm glad you're taking the color in another direction.  So what will the CE2 harness and cluster do?

Car is definitely in good hands, so keep on keepin' on.

[Jagerauto]

I wanted to swap harness's because the old mk1 wiring had seen its share of jerry riggin, and it had issues.. So swapping to this ce2 harness will give me a newer harness, and the cluster matched with a corrado g60 speedo cable will screw right into the 02J. And the mk2 cluster is not hard to modify into a mk1 dash.

Not to mention if later on I wanted to do a tdi swap its so much easier with a ce2 harness.,

What wiring?? Haha. For anyone south of me you could even leave out GP wiring to clean it up.. -16C I can start my mtdi with no issue.. -23c she moans about it.. But itll start.

[Jagerauto]

Just something that made sense.. So it's happening.. Not to mention how easy wiring wise it is to add power windows/locks.. Ect.

[Jagerauto]

Ripped out the old crappy wiring harness.
