Gear up for this one! A few weeks back, I bought a Caddy truck, flew to SLC with IE, 2.5 swapped it in 3 days, then immediately drove it 1,100 miles.

Might have even struggled more than on the scirocco. 🤣

Should have the full, one part video out Wednesday. SEMA timing has me behind.

I’ve wanted one of these trucks forever. So this is pretty special.

Miss my Caddy so much. It was my most Lego'd car: Mk1 GTI steering wheel and front fender flares, Cabby dash and lower gauge pod, MK1 Jetta GLI door cards and rear fender flares, Scirocco 16V lower K-bar, front brakes, and mono wiper, Corrado seats, Euro GTI header, grill & headlights, etc. etc. So much fun assembling stuff from the VW parts bin 😁 Congrats on finding one that's more steel than rust

I had the 07k in my Jetta and a Rabbit. The smoothest engine I have ever owned, and I'm a Toyota guy. Awesome to see it in this truck.

My neighbor had a Caddy back in the mid 2000s before I moved away. It was just a bare chassis that he was in the process of rebuilding, but he had chopped it with a Golf coupe to make an “extended cab” style truck. Wish I would have gotten a picture of it.

Saw this right after Freiburger's post celebrating 500k subs with a Cadillac 500. It took me way too long to realize the Humble Mechanic had not gotten an old flower car.
