Hi all, While my Porsche draws closer to being completed, I have received all the parts for the VW Caddy Mk1. It consists of a C1 Models transkit VW Caddy Mk1 which utilises.... The Revell VW Golf Mk1 kit. I also intend to do a complete engine change for the VW 16V DOHC Turbo from clearlyscale. I will add a straight through metal polished exhaust as the Golf's is simply not long enough. I will also install a front mount intercooler I have in the stash from an old engine kit. The interior will be refitted with a pair of Bride bucket seats. As for the rims - I am as yet undecided but thinking along the lines of some Ronal Turbos. I think with all the modification required I am going to build it, to check how things can go together and then split it down for painting followed by a final assembly. Pictures to follow. Haven't seen many of these done so think it should be an interesting build. Cheers for stopping by, Coops.

Hi guys, Well i finally got this caddy finished. There are things i woul go back and change but i will learn from those mistakes and improve upon them in the next model. This was a Revell 1/24 VW Golf GTI, with a C1 Models Transkit to a Cadddy. The engine was swapped out for a VW DOHC 16v Turbo engine from Clearly Scale and the rims were upgraded to a set of 14" Equip Short-Rims from Aoshima. It was a challenging model for me as it was my first Trans Kit. A few things to highlight before the masses do, there are some body panel gaps, there are no windscreen wipers or front/side indicators. Nor is there a front Number plate. I would have added the wipers but the screen fitment meant that i couldn't display it bonnet up with them fitted, so they were left off. Any way, thanks for looking and here are some photos. The build thread is here and the shared google album is here.
