1988 VW Caddy with McLaren 650S engine
Discussion
Hi all
Apologies I neglected to update this thread, but progress has been made in the meantime.
We’ve had it sat on the ground and pushed out of the workshop with working steering and suspension. That was a big moment.
The engine and gearbox are now back in and will remain there until after we’ve shaken it down.
Over the Christmas break we got a lot done.
Cooling and LTR systems complete (connected but still need some brackets to secure the hoses and the coolers)
Gear lever fabricated, installed and working well.
Fuel tank designed and made
Fuel lines completed
Suspension fitted
Wiring harness installed and most of it now terminated (a few bits at front end and all wheelspeeds are still to be done).
All hardlines for brakes installed. HEL Performance are coming to visit to make up the flexis we need.
A few pics but since these we’ve got the harness properly dressed and routed.

How the heck did I miss this?!
Damn, what a thing.
What's the projected weight of the thing?
Thanks!Damn, what a thing.
What's the projected weight of the thing?
It won’t be light. If it’s under 1,300kgs I’ll be pleased.
