@ DeanWhit yeah I suppose putting all that horsepower and weight into an old chassis would cause a few issues. I bet none of them were daily drivers

Hi guys sorry it been awhile
Recently purchased another mk3 caddy couldn't resist it and always knew I would end up with another caddy....
Just finished installing new coilover kit and 19" wheels today..
Got a good few mods to get going with so you will see a good bit of damo2k again

Ordered a clutch switch, checked the powersteering and brake fluid and topped up the washers.
Got to check tyre pressure in a while once tesco starts to become less busy.
Was rammed earlier on

Haven’t used it for a week so just gave it a good 60 mile run up the motorway. I always forget how much I enjoy driving it.

Purchase of a decommissioned Golf 5 gti steering wheel.
I will remove the leather and mold the structure of the hoop in order to reproduce it on a Golf 7 steering wheel.

Looks like a nice van you’ve picked up there @Damo2k. What are your plans for this one?

Finally got chance, in between customer’s vehicles, to give the van some much needed attention.

No pictures, but I got the raging hump with mine, after the windscreen cracked, for no apparent bloody reason at all….!
This will be the fourth poxy windscreen since I’ve had it
