Egulds's 2007 caddy
I had a post at the new member section but its time to make my own thread here..
I bought my caddy in february with a few dings and dents but according to the seller it was in mint body condition but that was a small lie
Mounted the coilovers and 20" ASA sh1 in march and it rides very well on them, there is always cravings for new wheels and I got a quote for a set of 8,5x19" Rota grid that I will buy this winter.
In july I was up at my mountain cabin when I heard a big bang outside, there was like 15 cows (the one who say moooo) running like crazy away from my car, sadly the trail was a bit narrow near my car and my left front wing looked like this afterwards.
This was kinda boring and the farmer who owns the running beef did not take any responsebility so I had to fix it myself.
Its painted a "couple" of times earlier, the whole car had 3-5 layers so I didnt use so much bondo
Primed and parked in my heated garage.
"new" used wing fitted, already painted the inside parts.
Filled the VW logo gap with led
Some more primer...
Finished and painted, need to fit the mouldings and new right mirror.
Also fitted the rail cover with the bracket supplied by Reflex autodesign and a seat cupra R front lip
Its not perfect but its great for a workvan, might do a full respray again when I facelift it next summer

Dont think so, tailgate is rare here too but the reason is most likely that craftsmen rather have 2 doors so the forklift can load a pallet in the rear..s70w vw wrote:Is the tailgate version of the Caddy only euro/facelift spec ?

Rides like a dream, even my father who regret everything bigger than 17" thought it was greatboovilly wrote:Nice van.

I've had 600kg above the axle for 900km with no problem, I also have car trailer that I drive about 2000km with each month without any problems.. thats why its a bit taller in the rear so it can handle some weight, would like stiffer blades in the rear or coilover instead of the dampers..
