this year i want to change my track car usually I use a civic ef 130 hp but I want to change and have something like it but with an appearance more fun....

last summer I went in the south of france to buy a volkswagen caddy




with his friend he left....



at home after 300 miles






he's also pretty light !

beginning of put off some things










puting off the front drive train because I'll keep it ...



electric parts



and I need to buy a new toy ....














wait little ....





I have to take some measure











vertical of the wheel










center of the civic




and highter of it



I hope it'll be good for the next step
it's now time to cut off !!!!!!!!!



and keep just what I need






now time to bring the caddy in the garage




redoing the "lasering"





and putting off



it's time to find how put the red part in the yellow one !!!!!!!!!!!



who is the silly man which have take measure before beginning this porject ?
the civic it's more and more larger than the caddy !



time to go on

beginning of cutting little the civic part



for the next step I have to weld a " marbre "



back at home



with the caddy put on it
