Re: CCR work van build
Thanks guys
3rdleg who did you used to work for?
MWM racing yeah I’ve had this build on my mind for a while but need to make sure I don’t get too carried away as it’s a work van not a show car
Should see some paint tomorrow

@dub_crazee
GPC.
Done quite alot of bits for Mk1 Mk2 Golf Corrado etc amongst other newer VWs. There was a mechanic/engineer called Fluff next door as well.
Dunno if that rings any bells?

I never ventured that end of Offley (think it was cut off down school lane before the Jewish school?) so didn’t know anyone down there.3rdLeg wrote:@dub_crazee

Yeah down School lane toward Hexton Rd. This is going back a bit, haven’t been over that way for 10+ yrs.
Anyway liking the colour, look forward to seeing some shine on that bad boy

To the world of caddy’s! I’m pretty new here too although I had a Caddy about 7 years ago.
3rdLeg I’ve only been in Offley 6 years so explains why!
Here are some shiny pics

Re: CCR work van build
That's a fantastic looking colour. I actually saw a Vauxhall or Renault maybe of a similar colour and thought "That'd look nice on a Caddy". Looking forward to seeing where you go with this!

Re: CCR work van build
Another good day! Dash back in (trims just loosely in place as I have Life trims to fit and a few other tricks to wire in). Headliner and shelf back in. Few other bits fitted up and panels painted today

Re: CCR work van build
What do you estimate the cost of labour on a job like this? Wondering if it's worth getting a conversion done on a cheaper barn door model rather than trying to find tailgate model.dub_crazee wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 8:37 pm Not too bad, I reckon all in it’s taken me a day to fit the tailgate and associated parts. Probably do it quicker now I’ve done one.

Re: CCR work van build
It kinda depends on how fussy you are with the paint. Strictly speaking both sides should be blended which obviously creates a load more work. If a colour match can be done and it’s close enough that you’re happy to live with it then you can just paint the tailgate. I’d expect somewhere around £1500+VAT labour plus all the partsSync wrote: What do you estimate the cost of labour on a job like this?
