Ay up mate,Ive seen/read alot about your T5 beetle & wanted some advice on a little project im doing.Ive decided to put a T5 in the back of a caddy pickup & just wondered when you did your Vdud did you use the complete volvo loom,ignition,chiped key etc,where did you get the cables for the gear linkage made,did you use the volvo subframe complete with suspension,hubs,brakes etc?? i no there's alot of Q's but id be happy for the advice,thanks Dan
