Much to my disgust Im having to sell my beloved caddy, I bought her as a wreck and resored her myself over 14 months. I put my heart and soul into this caddy, this was the one, the car I intended keeping for a long time so I did a good job.
I had a T4 before this caddy, that was a similar story, loadsa work building THE vehicle for me, after 6 years my wife decided it was impractical because it was too big and expensive to run.
She got a new Toyota Corolla Verso and I got to ride to work in the rain for over a year.
I bought the caddy and totally sorted it and having loved it for over a year guess what, its impractical, its too small!

She aint no show car but a few hours in the spray shop would sort that - she is a loved and used daily, everything works, ultra reliable cheap to run truck - that will also embarass GTI's and cruise at 80.
I need to get four seat for kids so if you have a PX......gotta be VW, gotta be waterchilled and ideally a mk1 golf or a later TDI - whatcha got?
