tdistyle: Sold

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012/12/for-sale.html

Wednesday, 12 December 2012. Time has come to move the Caddy on. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it - but I have urges to move on to something else, something a little larger, with a few more seats. I've also reached the point where if I was to start upgrading more bits (stereo etc.) it would start costing me more and more, and I'd rather put that in to the next project. Simply scroll back thru the blog for history and more pics. So here goes, a quick 'for sale' ad:. 2009 59-plate Caddy 1.9 TDI.

tdistyle: Lowering tweaks

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012/04/lowering-tweaks.html

Friday, 6 April 2012. Finally, a free morning to get the rear shocks changed for something a little stiffer, drop the rear a couple of notches on the hangers, and then adjust the front coils to suit. There's just a small matter of re-centering the rear wheels and we're done. Here's the results:. Much better I'm sure you'll agree. Big thanks must go to the talented JC at JC Motors. For taking his time to get that 'just right' stance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rear lining - a sneak peek.

tdistyle: March 2012

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, 11 March 2012. Ultimate Dubs was a first for me. Not only my first time in Telford but my first visit to a proper water-cooled v-dub show. My heart still lies firmly with the older Volkswagens and I find you have to look much harder at the show cars to truly understand the difference between a car covered in polish and one that has had hours of work in planning, fabrication and craftsmanship poured into it. As mentioned in the last post, here's the one Caddy that blew things out of the water:.

tdistyle: October 2011

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, 30 October 2011. Not only did the van come with original wheels and suspension parts to put the van back to standard. The seller also included the original seats - not something I was expecting. I can't see me ever needing to swap back to these so they're up for grabs. Almost perfect in condition with only minor scuffs to the plastic trim, this is a driver's and passenger's seat in the Inca pattern. Cloth is unmarked and as-new, everything works as it should:. 2x Tyres for sale. So back to the pr...

tdistyle: Raising the roof

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012/09/raising-roof.html

Sunday, 23 September 2012. After what seemed like a long wait, the roof panel from Germany is finally in. Ordered through Mark at MegaVanMats. I left the van with him for a series of lining sessions that he fit in 'as-and-when' around his busy business. Here's the results of the hard work and waiting:. A slight adjustment was made by trimming the rear of the roof so it didn't wrap around all the way to the rear door rubber - I preferred the look of having the rear aperture carpeted all the way around.

tdistyle: December 2011

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 27 December 2011. And a happy 2012! There's not much happening between Christmas and New Year so I thought I'd take advantage of a day's fine weather to give the van a much-need clean. This is also a great opportunity to fit the gifts I received for Christmas! First up; a set of Heko wind deflectors:. For no other reason than I like them - I have a set fitted to the T5 too - ideal for when you want some fresh air in but not the rain, easy to fit too - no more than a minute or so. Step three: clo...

tdistyle: Putting on a show

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012/06/putting-on-show.html

Sunday, 10 June 2012. Putting on a show. With the T5 camper in for some bodywork, we have a free weekend and a local show, Dubs In't Dales. Pretty much on our doorstep. Time to give the Caddy a quick clean and venture onto the show'n'shine field:. The show scene can be a fickle place; we sat and listened to comments, positive and negative, that ranged from 'awesome bit of kit'. To 'it's just a new van with some wheels on it'. Same again next year? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Putting on a show.

tdistyle: November 2011

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 29 November 2011. Wanted: Standard front bumper. Have you got one lying around from a recent conversion? I only need the lower middle fins as shown below:. Leave a comment below or email rpcreative@hotmail.com. One bumper collected from a fellow Caddy2k forum member. I've another one waiting in the wings too (in case I make a mess of this first one! Sunday, 27 November 2011. The last of the Dynamat went on the roof in the spots that VW didn't seem to bother with! Saturday, 26 November 2011.

tdistyle: Rear lining - a sneak peek

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/2012/04/rear-lining-sneak-peak.html

Thursday, 5 April 2012. Rear lining - a sneak peek. Just a quick post to show the progress to-date on the rear lining that's been taking place this week. As much as I'd love to take credit for this part of the van's transformation, the applause must go to Mark at MegaVanMats. More pics to follow this weekend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

tdistyle: About TDIstyle

http://tdistyle.blogspot.com/p/about-caddylicious.html

This blog is designed to be an ongoing record of the changes, additions and upgrades made to my VW Caddy 1.9 TDI. It isn't the first time I've done this and have another ongoing project; a T5 Transporter that I'm converting into a Campervan. Link here. Neither of these conversions are 'open cheque-book' jobs. They are done to a limited budget on very much a 'save-a-bit, spend-a-bit' basis. Thanks for reading,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simple template. Powered by Blogger.
