Here’s a pic of my VW Rabbit pickup soon after I got my sunroof installed (can’t really see it in this pic though). 😃

The front has been dropped about 1.75", the rear will be coming down shortly. The cap has also been removed and the wheels replaced w/nicer 13" VW alloys. 🙂

Later all,

Tim

Heh, yah, no intentions of ever letting this one go. It runs and drives! Little bit of rust, but that’s what a welder is for. 🙂 I can’t thank Pete enough for the trade that made it possible for me to finally own a Caddy that I can drive!

See yinz guys later n’at! 😃

Very nice Caddy veedubtek! I’m hoping to get out to BeaveRun sometime this year w/mine. I need to get my engine mount taken care of and get some decent tires first.

What class are you in and how are you holding up w/the rest of the class?
