Abims MK1 Caddy V6 4Motion

[Abims]

Haldex 4motion








Polo Dash








312 brakes ready to go on





New Lower front panel





The tailgate and all the mounts were previously removed so I’ve welded the mounts back on and fitted a tailgate














Welded on some mounts for the largest fan I could squeeze in (Passat VR6)





Engine positioned for clearance before welding up the front mount








Rad in and some of the plumbing finished

Excellent first post

I much prefer the Syncro axle at the rear

Are you the fella that dropped in the other day for a bed???

[regcheeseman]

Saw the first couple of pics, not really paying much attention and assumed it was a later van and those rear arms just bolt up... meh so what

then the third pic, yep just a modern van...yawn

fourth pic...expensive shifter hmmmmm

fifth pic .... some big brakes zzzzzzzzz

sixth pic ..... WHOA! It's a proper caddy! A Mk1!

Some decent work going on there, cracking build - watching with interest.

HI Al,

Long time no speak

Technically not my first post, used to go by "The Caddy Man" on here many moons ago.

Now back in the caddy game

Thanks for the comments although I cant take credit for most of the hard work carried out on the caddy. I acquired the rolling shell already converted to Haldex.

That's what I was thinking!!!!

Awesome first post

[dirtbikedave]

Eurgh!
Spaff all over the screen...

[regcheeseman]

I was thinking similar.... fuck, the mk1 has now been pushed beyond the kids and the budget builder's conceivable grasp - the ones built on a shoestring are sadly missing from the forum, when you've got people throwing the equivalent of more than a year worths of my wage at a build then it's time to give up.

I can't up my game that much, time to admit defeat. Know any decent peugeot forums 13?

[whelp]

there are decent Pug forums?

who knew?

[dirtbikedave]

He's lying.
You can't have the word decent related to anything French!
Except porn of course....


Mmmm, frog porn

things are picking up all over - I think the post dip boom is happening for sure!
