 Project: Caddy Vr-series | « » 9:28 PM 6-29-2006 | |
|
I have this pickup with a hole in the bed
And VR6 that I think will fill the hole
I have 5 days off from work, so I plan on rolling it out of the garage by Tuesday. I may not get it running but I hope to get the major fab done.

The sub-sub-frame
I should be able to fit the sub-sub-frame to the body and test fit the engine tomorrow. Or if everything looks good I'll just leave it in

Well part one is kindof finished. A little sheet metal work and a strut brace and the rear will be done.
gas tank mounting up front then the 3 hard parts. 1 wiring, 2 clutch master cylinder, and 3 shift cables.
And yes, those are the Passat strut towers. They fit in better than I thought they would.
I am ready to go back to work tomorrow so I can get some rest
