Newish members 1St Caddy

Post by gee101a »

Hi, joined the group just over a month ago after deciding to buy a Caddy. Bought a 82k miles ex British Gas maxi.
I'm a 47 year old married dad of 2 girls that works as a firefighter for last 20 years. Wife thinks I'm having a mid life crisis! :lol:
I've finally got the Caddy on the road after a vmaxx coil over kit, Axe CSLite 19's, colour coding and a bit of paintwork. Planning to do a bit to the interior and will be going through the forum for some inspiration.
I'm looking at putting a 2nd row of seats in the back, I know people will say get sirius to do it but I'm actually enjoying doing everything myself, (except the paintwork), if anyone has any genuine Caddy Maxi rear seats for sale with belts and brackets I may well be interested.
Posted a couple of pictures below, needs a proper polish and good clean up and I think it needs to go down slightly at the back.
I started a thread when I started it called "Gee's new ex BG Caddy Maxi" few photos on there!
Hopefully you guys like it so far.
Thanks for looking.
Gee

Nice one Stevie,
I'm really pleased with how it's looking, only thing it's a bit too high at the back.
When I was putting it together I left the rear suspension one off the lowest setting. Seems to me that it will go down a little but not enough by moving it one hole on the spring hanger.
Did you use centralising plates on the rear? I know that gives an extra 10 mm.
Yeah post some photos of yours, I'd like to see it, nearly bought a grey one!
Cheers
Gee

"Wife thinks I'm having a mid life crisis!"

My gf calls my Caddy the midlifecrisis mobile...

She doesn't know I went to see Reflex Auto Design today either - oops!
