81 caddy feeler
Posted: Oct Sun 25, 2015 9:58 pm
Have an 81 caddy diesel that is stripped and gutted from the firewall back and is being sanded and is getting closer to being able to paint..

That's pretty much how it looks right now. I sanded some more off the fender. Ha.
I have a LOT of cool parts ( so I think) for this caddy..
-82 Jetta dash with under trays
-front coils
-new wheel bearings, cylinders, master cylinder, etc.
-3 piece slider window
-solid glass rear window..
- very nice bed corners and tail lights
- nice tailgate
-engine is RV code from 92 Jetta w/150k.. Rebuilt head @ 130k.. Mated to an ff 5 speed transmission.. Full CE2 wiring harness, headlight to tail light..
This truck has SOLID strut towers!! Only rust is about a 18" x 2" piece on drivers side floor pan. I have some flat stock I'm planning to weld in.
By now you might be asking yourself...
"WHY would someone want to get rid of this SWEET caddy?? Especially when it's so close to being a much nicer, painted caddy??"
Well, the answer to that is.. I NEED 4x4 to tow my snowmobile.. The vanagon might not cut it..
(Though it does now mk2 Jetta scraps nicely, it's not through snow..)
SO!!
I'm going to keep sanding and prepping this awesome, sick, super bad ass, tubular, gas swapped caddy for fresh Mojave beige unless someone wants to trade me their 4x4 v8 American gas or preferably diesel guzzling rig to tow my sled, so I can go snowboarding!!!
Thanks for looking
