Yeah, there are a handful of K20 caddy's around. Considering the weight of these things, would be a fast truck.

This one has a 16v swap already in it. So it's def quicker than stock.

Seen It caddy is cool!

but yeah.....i like the look of yours already!!!!!

what r your plans..??? lookin good so far...

Right now just lower it quite a bit. Put some smaller tires on the wheels. (these 205/50-15's rt615's are pretty meaty)

Truck is on the back burner though as Im starting my vr6 swap on my jetta pretty soon as the rear main started to leak oil, so my clutch is the next thing to go

i like these and older rabbit 3 doors....i secretly want one

looks good! hows the tread life on those tires lol im interested lol

actually the tread is pretty good on them!
the rt-615's are a fantastic tire. Just too meaty! i rock 195/45-15's!

The problem with the truck is it's a spring over strut in front and leaf spring in rear.
So cant just throw coilovers on it, well I can in the front.

Might do a axle flip on the rear and just mount up some coilovers on the front. Or look into a bag set up.

bagged caddy

I am def thinking about it! Or just a stupid low static drop.

Anyway, here is a pic of where it was sitting. Basically my buddy got this truck impounded, and I paid the fees to get it out. So stupid cheap truck.

damn....wish i found something like that... i'd love to drive around town in that thing static dropped

My first plans will be doing a round light conversion which involves new fenders, and new rad support. (cutting old welded one out and rewelding new one in)

such as this set up...

(i like round lights? lol I did the conversion on my mk2 as well)

i like that LOTS!

I am still trying to figure out what wheels these are on the truck.

They say STARK presented by Carving Inc. on the center cap, but I only know of Stark II wheels, and these don't look like them.

So makes me think I stumbled upon something

wow....i thought they were Stark looking wheels!

RC. and RC II Starks are a common stark wheel.

i like them.l

Yeah after searching. I found this. So they are STARK I WHEELS

Not much work on it besides I ripped out about 10 pounds of pointless wiring from alarm crap, stereo, etc.
Removed the Hellas.
Completly degreased the engine bay
pulled the seats out and cleaned the carpets
