Well, I finally got it here on monday after its overseas trip.
I pulled the deisel out on wednesday and set about converting the Passat
9A twincam 2 litre to fit the Caddy.
I have kept everything in it so as to be able refit the 1.6 deisel if needs be later on. It needs a rebuild though.
Anyway, heres my progress over the last 2 days...

It should be a bit of fun. The coilovers will go in after its registed I think. I have the 4 wheel discs off the Passat, after the rust repairs, they go on.The engine pipe and exhaust will hold me up a bit but I should have the wiring and pumps fitted this weekend, Its all fun and I cant wait to have it to use for work duties.
No more smoke mate!!! Yay!!!

Absolutely awesome Andrew!

You definately don't stuff around & get the job done.

Maybe a bit of the work overload from the ol 76er build rubbed off on you.

Can't wait to see this finished & going.

Fantastic work mate, nice and fast unlike many speculators, including myself hehe. I can't wait to see it dumped on the wheels you got for it!

Thanks guys, I want to get on with it and finish it asap. I built Gunter up in 4 weeks after it came back from having the front and rear bodywork replaced.
Tim, thats by far the nicest and tightest (clean please) 76er I have ever driven and I drove them in 1976!!
The caddy will be good when the suspension is all done , oh, plus the brakes, oh, and everything else!!!!

Cant wait to drive it again already!!
