Vw Caddy Rear/Trailer

[7/11=12]

Hi peeps just thought i"d put some pictures up of what ive been building for the last couple a 3 weeks using the complete rear off a Vw Caddy van for suspension,,ive to still fit the dampers but thats not a prob,,its just been done to what you see about 3 hours ago

rear shackle mounting for a pressed in bush,mount was milled from a solid billit block of steel

this side is now painted

before the axle flip

after the axle flip

whats known as axle flip in progress

spring saddle relocated to the underside of the axle

this is the underside of the axle thats now been drilled ready for the saddle to be rewelded on

saddle just sitting ready to be tacked

G clamped ready for some smelting action

the welds look heavy but its bloody thick steel

When posting pictures it's easier to load them as attachments so if for some reason Photobucket throws a wobbly the pictures don't disappear off the forum.

Also larger pics are automatically resized so you don't have to scroll sideways when looking at them.
