    It looks great! I'm working on the exact same areas. Although my work is not looking as nicely done as yours.

    A couple more of the rear end mocked up and the rear beam end plates i changed from the mk1 layout to a mk4 golf pattern to accept a mk4 stub axle and mk4 sealed bearings it also utilises the points a mk4 caliper carrier would which is a dual purpose caliper for the handbrake too

    Had the caddy about three years, but the welding work started about a year and a half ago, work has been done on weekends and unfortunatly its not practical to do it inside where i keep it so if it rains it stops play and being the uk dry days are few and far between
