Well I've not actually started yet, but I thought posting this would stop me procrastinating and make a start. I'm not usually a fan of wide arches and large spoilers, however there was something about the transkit from C1 that really appealed to me, so then I decided to go the whole hog and throw in the Honda engine. I think this will be a long term project and will probably build a few side projects along the way (against my better judgement) as and when I get stuck or confused, which could be often. Plus I've still got the City to finish - Andy

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.
