Re: My caddy build
So today I've developed a banging noise when off the throttle and without brake. At first I thought it was the gearbox. Upon closer inspection it appears to be the engine mount under the battery tray. Also ordered my hot staple gun off amazon so may make a start on the bumper this weekend when I've done the mount.

Re: My caddy build
Decided to lower the van today. Got my dad in to assist. Having a ramp makes life so much easier. Need to give her a clean now and get some better pics

Re: My caddy build
Some more bumper progress. Next job is to get it to the bodyshop for finishing as well as a bit of colour coding.

Re: My caddy build
Also fitted some lights and carpet in the back and removed bulkhead.
Ordered 4 lights but sent one a different size and I ran out of spray adhesive so can't finish yet
