Incursus

55starchief

Roadkill

Damn those Bustle-backs are ugly at the rear, though.

Roadkill

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

Cunning Plan

The 'trunk' does nawt go with that car

This your next project?
1968 VW T2 Bay Bus (currently being restored and upgraded)
1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (modern classic daily driver)

55starchief

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

Roadkill

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.

Pod

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


Cunning Plan

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  . . .

55starchief

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

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

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

hmmmm....

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

Jamieg285

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