Another Caddy Build...
« on: April 12, 2014, 12:05:57 am »
I picked up a 1981 LX Caddy 1.6  n/a/ from a Estate sale for my son that is in college..

74K original miles and original int , a/c model , all options...

We are doing suspension first ( axle flip/Coilovers front )with a new set of LeCaslett wheels 15 x 6
Roll pan, new rear window in black etc

We looked together at various wheels and he came back and said those whhels on the last caddy were the best..

Plans are a M-TDI , 2.5 s/s exhaust with a custom trans and LSD, G60 brakes

I hope we bond together over this build...
