I finally got my Caddy last weekend after 6 weeks of mucking around and being mucked around.
Couldnt be happier with my purchase, 2007 model with 21000 Kms on the dial, at least when I got it but I have put another 1400 kms on it with driving it back to Tasmania. Just need to get some decent shockers for the rear to go with the lowered leaf springs. Its got H&R coilovers in the front.

Me just woke up to the fact that 1400km wouldn't cover the Brissy trip & see else where that you got it from a Vince in Syd.

Alex's is a bit different (just like Alex)
looks good Andrew, hope you get the ride sorted.
Now an independent GTI rear end would be the go..........
Thanks Eddy and Guy.
It corners very flat with the decent front suspension but oh, the ride from the rear isnt pleasant!! It wil be easily sorted with some decent shockers.
I think it might have more character then the GTI but my thoughts will probably change when I drive the Golf again. (havent driven it for 8 days!! A record!!)
The red of the GTI looks dull compared to the bright orange of the Caddy too.
So its some decent rear shocks followed by the signwriting and later on I will give it the Oettinger reflash to suit the stickers that are on it already.
Got to advertise the tuning eh?? Oh, and the business!!!

I like Guy's idea of a GTI rear suspension but what about the GTI engine
VW did one here http://www.ozvolks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257
Also Andrew check this forum out http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index....um=dutchaussie
