Pretty Cool Caddy Van

[Gally]

The problem is the people who use most of these vans don't own them so trash them. I see them daily.

True, if its a company van that goes to lots of different people it only takes one or two of them to abuse it and it will end up trashed.

Not like Mark I take it?

Seats are cool. But doesn't interest me in the slightest to be honest.

I wouldn't say I didn't like him. I don't know him well enough.

I'm 5ft 10 and can stand up in it.

Its a big job labour wise we were told. New pump, new injectors, new fuel lines, But parts aren't dear. Local LCV breaker wanted £350 for the lot. Its beyond us (like most stuff! lol) so it was easier and cheaper for him to replace the van than to pay a garage to do it.

I'm sure he's mentioned £1000 to me before. Nice van though, ex british gas and proper tidy. Not battered at all. iirc, its a 54 plate?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Might be interested then.
Can you PM me some pics please mate, rather than us both keep taking this thread off topic.

 

[Bluebeard]

I'll get him to take some this weekend. Its buried in his unit so the pics will be crap!

Leave it with me.

Red VW Caddy, believe the wheels have now changed and he had a big royal mail sign on it about a year ago, interior is now more complete but struggling to find better pics

i have Andrews station run car after he threw his toys out of the pram with a misfire the garage couldn't cure

I think you beat me to that actually, i saw it on PH, had a chat with him but he said one of his mates was more than likely going to buy it. Posts quite a bit on PH i think? Was only buying the cup to have a look at his cars lol ...

Re: the van, modding a van reminds me of being 17 and having mates with rs kitted fiesta vans filled with subz. It looks nice, but i dont really get it if it needs to be used for work/get dirty.

I'd love to learn to start trimming seats, I always used to be so good with a sewing machine too... Maybe I'll have a go on my spare zed seats...

 

[daydotz]

Love a well sorted caddy

I'd have one as a daily

 

[matty w]

I wanted a caddy van as I do a lot of mountain biking. But like others have said if you had a van that nice you wouldn't want to put muddy bikes etc in it .

Dave he posted on facebok and I just said I would have the clio has turned out ok as hazel is claiming 45p a mile driving it .... he is a nice guy with a fab collection of cars both past and present

Is this the guy who flipped when he found marker pen under the carpet of his VXR from the factory?

Good work but a total waste of a vehicle. It's not a car so it won't be that quick or tidy in the bends yet it's not a van as it has half of Carpet Right in the back.

Depends what you're going to use said vehicle for. If it's for a vehicle detailing business, then it makes perfect sense to have a tidy modded one that people will talk about.

Mark's a sound chap, know's what he wants and gets it.

He likely thinks all Clios are french s**t boxes that fall apart. Each to their own, fair play to him.

 

[ColinG]

I think it looks stunning, those seats!! Om nom nom!

 

[Willliams]

Oh nooo... thats given me far too many idea for my new Caddy... First stop would be some lowering springs or coilovers, which ever is the preferred course for them. Although I went for factory 16 or 17" rims.. I really like the rims on both the OP's post and the 'Pure Grey' van.. yum. I also went for a tailgate too.. rather than a pair or rear doors.

 

[DB.]

Those seats in that colour on a black car! *Drools*

 

[not normal dan]

Wouldn't last 5 minutes with me. If it weren't full of mud an gravel off me bike from Cannock chase it would be lugging around parts of cars an tools an trolley jacks from job to job. Nice though.

Thats not going to be filled with microfibres and a Nilfisk though in all fairness.

As advertisement I'm sure it'll catch the eye but if it's a business proposition it'll take a lot of detailing sessions to recoup the outlay.

Credit where it's due as said however it's a real Jack of all trades in my eyes. And I do agree, Clios are French tin pots hence why I have an M3.

Nice van but I'm shocked with the wheel choice. They've been done to death! Borrrrrring!
