Looks good, lowering a Caddy is the only way to go, people don’t realize it’s not just a truck it’s a Volkswagen . Old Volkswagen’s don’t die they just get lower!

Noble cause to bring back cars/trucks that still have life in them and put them back on the road.

That little truck is cool as f___. Enjoy the golden times working with your Dad, I used to love working with my Pa. He's been gone 9 years now, isn't a day goes by I don't think of him. You've got a good easy going style and some interesting projects keep up the good work!

You know where Jimmies is at. Had a 81D 4dr for 15 yrs. Live in Greenville. Luv your vib. Think u have a niche w/ VW diesels. Go Tigers, football here we come. Good plain wholesome channel. Little children are nice touch. All the best to u and family.

Perfect patina, I liked the bumpers thou. To each their own.

Really enjoy your humor, and easy going attitude. Love what you're doing with the Rabbit! I'm hooked on the Porsche! 😃✌

FITMENT IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD

Everytime I see this truck I think...this is what Charlie Brown would drive!

I like it with the bumpers on her

Good team work with dad, keep safe and have fun good luck in these times

What a team! Dad and son making it happen. Keeping these oldies going down the road.

Thanks for your latest offering. It sure does brighten up the long days on lockdown on this side of the world. God bless you and stay safe.

Looks great brother, I can’t wait to see more on the 66-350 tow truck! Love your channel! Love the Rabbit! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Loving the progress on all the vehicles.

I lowered my 1981 in 1998 by removing the bottom leaf and it had a softer ride and I put in some adjustable camber shims. I miss that truck!

That truck is really cool.

The perfect approach. Thanks for the content!

Seeing this build bring back some memories of my own. My very first car was a 1976 Rabbit. I was still in high school and it was fun to drive. Been a subscriber pretty much since your channel started. Keep up the good work! And can't wait to see that Porsche finished. My most favorite build of the channel so far.

It’s nice to see a dad and son working together to bring back old classics amazing work and thanks for the content stay safe and hope you all are doing well

Loving the progress and the beautiful sneak peaks of springtime foliage. Stay safe out there. All the best from BC to SC.

I love yer channel and the uplifting message at the end of this video! Thanks!

What a sweet little ride,the partina looks super cool. Greetings from Germany! (Here is the name for that car VW Caddy,if you are lucky you will see one or two of them in a year,pretty rare even here.)

Wondeful! love what you did to this one, cool looking wheels too.

So worth it! Such a pretty unique design. Very fair lines. Good call an bumper extraction.

It sits perfect. Sweet little truck

Watching videos produced during the pandemic period with the obligatory public health statements in an unpleasant reminder of how the world went insane for two years and has yet to fully recover. With that out of the way, thanks for another great video.

Well, not really my thing but hey it's your truck man! Rock on!!

Looking good guys,keep it up,stay safe as always👍

Love it! My buddy had a diesel in school, when gas was .80 and it got 50 mpg so yeh, cheap to drive even then

Your welcome guys! More power! I love what your doing!

Once again. Brilliant. Thank you 👍

Really looks good lowered like that. Nice!

Never seen one of those before it's a really cool little truck after watching your channel I'm really interested in a older diesel

1:02 mark ... SUPER DAD! Thx 4 tha vid, much appreciated, stay safe, peace out!

Looks pretty good good job keep up the great work thanks for sharing

Your channel is great because your bringing back one off stuff. Keep dping oddball stuff. Everyone is tired of ls, 2jz, and cummins swaps. We all enjoy what your doing

Really been enjoying watching your builds over here in the UK. VW pickup looks amazing. Great job

I like how it looks low and without bumpers. Nice work.

it looks amazing keep up the good work

Bumperless looks good just needs a body panel to fill in the space below the tailgate.

Wow, that little VW has an amazing stance! Those wheels were the perfect choice. Are you leaving the bumpers off? I think a front and rear roll pan would look great

Congratulations!! Super!!

Looks fantastic !

I bought a brand new 94 Nissan Hardbody pickup and I slammed it! I ran the torsion bars all the way down in the front and ran a mono leaf spring and 3" lowering blocks in the rear. The pin to keep the axle from twisting or shifting didn't have enough threads to put it back on without the extra springs but, I was young and dumb & didn't care so I ran it anyway! Luckily it never shifted and when I traded it in, it easily went back to stock

That thing is spotless underneath, even the pinch welds are straight. I'd personally get another bumper on there, you can drill a hole in the shocks to compress them and have it sit closer to the body.

it looks flipping awesome , you and you're dad rock

Love the car, looks awsome, love too see getting some love and new parts😁😁 Stay safe too and fixing old cars😁😁

Incredible ! , Nice job...

Such a cool car, awesome job dude

I love it, can't wait to find one for myself, keep up the great content

Put some euro buppers on your rabbit it would nice with a nice paint job

Great to see you're going well & that rabbit is looking brilliant nice & low & level with a great paint job that would be fantastic, you've both done a great job of it keep up the great work guys & stay safe can't wait to see the next episode.

My first new car was a 76 Rabbit 2dr 4spd. I added a Kami front air dam under the bumper and a VW rally anti-sway bar to the rear end and called it a day. One of the things I loved about the Rabbit was its supple, controlled ride. It stayed composed even if the road wasn't smooth. It also had enough ground clearance to make it useful in the snow and less likely to hang up on a dirt road. I will never understand why you would waste the time and money to make a car less useful, safe, and comfortable. I get the looks bit but not enough to pay with crap performance every time I drove the thing. Just sayin'

In the back of the Rabbit is better than the dog house!

Low n slow she's looking good all round

SAFETY GLASSES! Ok, that's my only complaint. Otherwise, this truck rocks. Maybe you could source some "nerf" bars for the front and back, since you're going with the bumper delete. And, yeah, she's going to need a little help in the drive train. It sounded like you were trying to light the tires up, but the truck had other ideas. It's good to hear you're busy at work, and hopefully your Dad's work will pick up, too. Take care out there.

Great video, cant wait to see more on all the projects 👍🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Lowering looks good but now you have no suspension travel in the rear unless you relocate the bump-stops. Even still, there's probably only enough room for 2" of travel. You may want to consider welding up some drop plates for the spindles and put the suspension geometry back to stock. Yes, more work but you gain function.

Looking awesome. Make a custom fiberglass front spoiler or air dam. Be safe up there.

When i was alot younger I got stuck at a green light for what seemed like forever at Maroubra beach with cops behind me in an unregistered 74 Audi fox trying to find first gear, it kept going in reverse or 3rd. Worst shift ever when they get some play in them. I love how this is looking, that ride height looks good and even better with the bumpers gone. I like it a lot.

Looking good man.

Great video as always! One of my favorite channels, keep up the good work! That thing sits perfect!

Yo that thing honestly looks so good low

I like the wheels.

Nice job 👌

It's perfect 👍 brother.

looks so much better without the bumper

Straight pipe. I had one with 420k miles on it. 1.6d and I also had a GTi pickup

Thanks for the great job you're doing on all the vehicles. I keep checking for new uploads on your channel every week. In fact, I found your channel by chance a few months ago when I was watching a Polish Porsche rebuild by Mikiciuk and I've been a big fan of yours since the very moment you got the targa out from the junkyard. Can't wait to see your porsche completed. Keep on doing what you do best! You've got loads of followers here in Poland:-)

looks great

Looks amazing lowered!!! 👍🏽👊🏽😷

Different for sure and if you like it then be happy. No one else to please but you so so be it

excellent video. we are very attentive to everything you do to that beautiful caddy

Yeah boy , flipped it !! Looks low bro , loving this project , keep up the good work

Looks great. 👊😎

Height looks good. Probably about the height mine was. Don't feel bad to take a few days off now and then. Take care of yourself!

Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

looks sweet! put a lip spoiler on that thing. God bless

Looks good lowered, even better you’ve taken the crappy bumpers off

My dad had one, he drove for 5 years, got 50 mpg with it. Sold it because it was a diesel and even when plugged in had to jump to start in the NY winter, New batteries, oil heaters Nothing worked so he sold it.

Looking good! I think the front end needs something to cover up those holes though

The layed out look is a goodx one for sure

Cool I wish I could find something nice like this. I would put a Golf R engine in it.

I really like your Rabbit Pickup. It just seems to have, personality.

This thing is just super cool. I love everything you did to it and it couldn't look any better because the patina is even cool. I wouldn't change a thing and all the nay sayers are the ones who would have let the thing rot away so I wouldn't worry about them. Great job as always and can't wait until you do the cool v8 swap on the datsun or Toyota cant remember what it was lol. I'm building a 79 pinto and putting a 347 stroker in it and its going to be a cool ride also. Keep up the funny stuff in the video I get a good laugh out of that kinda stuff like rolling out of the back of the truck like u slept in it from working on it so late. I've actually done it before when I was younger lol

#lowandslow, loving it!

Hi mike Interesting video When I started working on cars in the late 80 s I bought cars that were not on the road here in the uk a car or van needs to pass a m.o.t before u can drive it on the road it last for 12 months u then need.to pay road tax I bough my self a Ark Welded then on to a Mig welder I put floors in all welding repaires I bought cheap cars made my money on then sold them on loved it mate I hope u will start wearing safety glasses when using the grinder to protect ur eyes keep the videos coming great stuff. Keep Safe phil in the uk

There's a company I follow I think called small bumpers that make euro spec bumpers for that clean look

I really enjoy your channel and I just love the Volkswagen pickup. I hope one day to have one can’t wait to see what else your gonna do

Been waiting for this one!

I love that vw. You are very lucky to be able to wrench on old cars with your father. Im sure you realize that. Great chanel. I think the front bumper needs to go back on. Maybe tucked in a bit. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work 👍

Hi mate love your you tube ,love the cheery way you go about things ,your season looks the same as ours ,like the rabbit wheels Tony in uk Colchester Essex 😀

Love your Channel it’s honest and sincere. But please get on with the 911 😂

FFFANTASTIC!!! As usual! ... Ok... But don’t forget about some motorcycle wrenching videos... Just sayin... LOL! 😉😉😉 ... And just my two cents worth: I’m not even a boat person, but I bet some videos of you working on boats at work would also be very popular...

Since the axel doesn't have gears, you should have just stripped the axel of it's brake assemblies, flipped it endo and tied it down with out buying parts. Bolting the brake stuff back on to the opposite sides. Then all you have to do is build new brake line holders.

Yes bumper had to go but a roll pan on back will make it look way better

Should have thrown an empty whiskey bottle out the back before you climbed out of the bed 😂

well when you pulled off the rear bumper I saw the mounts so no those older bumpers will not interchange with the later 1981 and up, they mount differently

Love it looks really good don't see many of those way over her in OZ land hope you you are not goingtopaintit as that patina looks fantastic just give it a good wipe cover with WD40 that protects it love it..

Love your workmanship. Hate the lowering of a decent original car. Same with losing the bumpers. Should have spent your time on the real mechanical issues with the truck and adding to the real value of it. Sorry, but that is my honest opinion. Chris and you are so good at what you do.
