RIGHT!
Newth took me to T, V & F for the last of the bits to go from the tank, to the solenoids!
We went back to his house, and sealed all the joints.. we also put all the wiring on the solenoids and heatshrinked them so its all proper
I am literaly waiting for someone to come and cut my metal so it can be welded in place, then can start fitting all the stuff to in the box..
I need to pick up 5 guages and 4 switches sometime this week
Saw some cool ones in maplins but they were a bit small.. Im after something a bt bigger else i will break them off whilst flippin switches

A big thanks to stu after i dragged him up on sunday morning after a hardcore poker night the night before...
We went to KP welding (i think thats what it is called? next to mini marquees) and bought some angle iron, and cracked on with building a frame..
Cut the metal for tha panels
Poured hammerite on everything
Now i can start mounting the good stuff!

No mate, it took us ages to clean up cos we made lots of mess and i didnt want my dog eating bits of metal that were everywhere

Ta dude!
If all go's to plan, i might be taking the caddy somewhere for a bit if a bodywork overhaul..
Been thinking of the rat look, and how i can apply it to my caddy, but in clever ways that havent been done before..
Have a few ideas

maybe rat look for this year and clean for next? hehe will rock wither way tbh, wooden floor etc hmmm
RE: *Member* Olstars 1989 Volkswagen Caddy - olstar - 14-07-2008 08:48 PM
yeah a wooden floor would be good, but the bed isnt perfeclty flat so it wouldnt sit right...
Plus i already have something for the floor
