So the story so far, I bought this caddy back in 2012, over the next 18 months I carried out a full rebuild of it, It really was my pride and joy in 2014 I got it on the road and dailyed it for the next year.
after about 12 months of driving it and doing countless miles in it I managed to knock my sump out and found out that they don't last all that long when you dump the oil doing in excess of 70MPH.
So she went back to my parents place where the initial build took place and it was going to be a simple case of new engine - however I got other daft Ideas smooth the bay, fit air ride, different spin on the engine, 6speed conversion interior swap ect. It all got a bit out of hand and at the same time I ended up buying my first place. needless to say it took the back burner and for the past 6 years its been sat in a bit of a sorry state.
However I am due to be getting married next June and I would love to have this as my wedding car, so i bit the bullet brought it back to my new place and am going to crack on.
Thought id put a thread up more to keep track of my progress and keep me pushing forward as what with a house extension going on, countless other jobs, a trike project that's getting a tad neglected, studying a sparkies course and planning this wedding I need all the forward momentum I can get.
So as it stands she is back in my work shop, rear axle stripped off ready for the build of the air ride set , big brake conversion and a fresh underseal !
