That's my point . . . . . Should be RWD, but I think that was approaching the change-over for some Caddy's . . .

The 'trunk' does nawt go with that car

This your next project?

55starchief · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2006, 11:35:43 pm »

only a V6 but am sure with some careful 9" work anything could be made to fit

Roadkill · « **Reply #9 on:** April 12, 2006, 11:36:26 pm »

Hmm . . . could that 4.2L motor be the 4-6-8 V8 ?

I'm sure this could be disabled with a pair of wire cutters.

EDIT - Ignore this.

I'd have one of them.
I think Jo would like it too - she wants a Pacer as it is.

As a project of something you could customise, i think you could do the gremlin alot ...would be cool..

the granada is also very good though.. I think you should get something big to put loads of MKB stuff in like tents, BBQS, a stall?? tools etc...

This would be race-only, Mate.

Trailored to and from the Pod, shakey etc . . .

Yup had looked at both of those mate but thought we should stick to a caddy for the hell of it

sevilles are FWD mate

Caddy and Granada

Gremlin

2 thumbs fresh!!

Don't forget, the larger the car, the bigger the trailer needed. It *HAS* to be small to be economical (in money and overall storage)

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #19 on:** April 13, 2006, 04:28:55 am »

would need something bigger than the astro to tow a caddy, too..

something like this

By the time we cut all the excess bits out mate it should be no heavier than a 3rd gen

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #21 on:** April 13, 2006, 04:32:43 am »

cant really go much past 2000kg, so by the time you've knocked 3 - 400 off for the trailer, you aint got that much left

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #22 on:** April 13, 2006, 04:56:48 am »

hmmmm....

excuse to buy one of those rather nice powerstroke diesel E350 econoline, or G30 vans?

Jamieg285 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 13, 2006, 05:06:31 am »

I'm not thinking of weight, but more about length.
