1988 VW Caddy with McLaren 650S engine

[Scottie - NW]

I’m really interested to follow this. Only done basic engine swaps before this is about 100 times more skilful and interesting though

[The Rotrex Kid]

Holy st. Yes yes.

Aston chop thread turned up to 11!
Can I have some of what you are smoking.

Saw this and thought another well intended but ultimately pie in the sky thread (F1 remake) then first page in there is a Maca engine in the back of a VW caddy… f*****g well done chaps looking forward to this one

[What The Deuces]

I’m in. Lunatics!

Awesome

Reminded me of the F1alike thread too, which is moving along nicely by geological speeds…

It’s like you saw the Aston build thread and said “hold my beer”. It’s so ridiculous it’s brilliant! Welcome to PH

Eta add the link I referenced as I realise you probably haven’t seen it -

Readers Cars forum is finishing the year absolutely on fire!!

This is superb.

What’s your thinking about getting the power down?

Down force, big rear tyres, a couple of bags of ordinary Portland and some gravel??

Great work.

Great work.

Or balls of steel?

Wow, that looks mental.

Bookmarked!

All seems perfectly logical; the bed of a truck is supposed to have stuff in it, and an engine is definitely stuff.

Carry on

[Aluminati]

This will break the internet.

[littlebasher]

Ok, you have my attention

[tvrfan007]

McCaddy, love it!

Mid engined to boot bed.

FTFY
This is like Dubsport turned up to eleven. Their conversions used entire VW assemblies - this is far more difficult!

[4Q]

Brilliant.

[Nath911t]

Amazingly bonkers project. I'm in

[Easternlight]

Just when you thought the let's cut up an Aston thread was totally nuts!!

Maybe it's the COVID vaccine melting people's brains

[Wheelspinning]

Everytime I get disillusioned by PH due to constant bickering and races to post how crap every feature car is, along comes threads like this and the Aston one reminding you of what PH was originally about.

As soon as I seen that mac engine sitting in the rear of a caddy a huge smile appeared on my face!

Bravo sir; I'm in.

Well done that man! This will be good
