goodbye
My friend Dan picked up the VW truck from me today. Goodbye little guy!
random caddy day
I cleaned up the ride a little (2nd pic) and snapped some pics. I’ve been going back and forth on selling this car and doing more things to the STI. I would hate to see it go because it’s so funky fresh. I’ve have several offers, but of course I am always dealing with flakes. For the right about I’ll let it go, but for now I am rocking it every day!

rotation
Here’s a little update for the weekend. All my steering wheels came in. The Sparco is back in the STI. The Nardi is going in the E30, and I put an old JDM Baron Wood wheel in the Caddy. I think it looks dope!
updates
A couple of parts I’ve been waiting on have come during the holidays for the VW project. The drop plates for the rear are made out of some serious hunks of steel. I can’t wait to wrench away this weekend and finally get the truck dropped on those wheels I’ve had chilling. The sparco hub and steering wheel will also be a nice touch.
Check out my little collection of JDM old school rides.
pokey
My little tires came in for the Caddy. It was quite funny seeing all four tires in one reasonably sized box. The fitment turned out perfect as what I was thinking from my original test fit. I am waiting for the rear stuff to ship still. Hopefully I’ll have some complete cars pics around the corner. Also the fenders are not rolled yet in these picks either. I am not sure if I really need a pull or not yet.
testing 1 2 3
I just test fitted my old E30 wheels. I thought for sure they would not work. Well they do, and they look pretty rad. Now it’s time to roll and pull the fenders and order some tires!
caddy coils
These showed up today. I have to wait another week to get shipping on the rear drop plates. I’m excited to get this thing sitting much lower. I’ll need to pick up some fresh tires also.
caddy inspiration
I’ve been digging for inspiration as I do with all the cars I work on. I saw this one and felt like it was just right. There’s nothing too crazy about it, but it looks so good.
dashed
I spent some time cleaning up the inside of the car. I will need new seats and carpet, but it is looking way better. I couldn’t believe the shape it was in.
rabbit project
I’ve wanted one of these strange looking VW Rabbit Trucks for as long as I could remember. I just love the way they look slammed on some wheels. I am using this as a daily driver. My woman is daily driving the E30, and my STI is just bad on gas stoplight to stoplight. I’d like to keep the miles down on the STI as much as possible also. I was lucky enough to find a good deal one this one when I was up north on Holiday. These typically go for 4-5 grand because they are pretty rare.
