I’ve been watching you fix and rebuild cars for the best part of 14 years. Not even just cars, anything you put your mind to actually. I’m pleased your work is out there now for everyone to see and make use of. You’ve smashed it again, me and the kids love the caddy! xx
After watching this video I've subscribed and I'll be watching everything else you do, your like me I like to get my hands dirty and get stuck in, I'm a tight Yorkshireman so I try to do everything myself where I can lol keep up the good work mate
Thank you for the video Nathan. You've worked miracles on your Caddy. It now looks truly magnificent and completely unrecognisable from the van you bought. You should be very proud of what you've achieved, especially in such a short timeframe 👌.
Thank you as always Karl 👍 I’m really happy with it and I use it every day absolutely no issues at all just a few last bits I want to do inside. 3 months to get the bulk of it done I thought it was good time.
You are the man,watched this from start to finish mint.just wish you were round the corner from me so you could sort my caddy ,Your work is incredible and the way you explain everything is brilliant. Thanks Nathan 👍
Thanks mate I’ve done a few more bits to it since this video, check out the hybrid front bumper video on my channel, or one from a couple weeks back the coil over suspension video 👍👍👍
Woah, came across your channel after a 1.9tdi to pd130 conversion on an Audi? And I'm blown away with what you can do! That caddy looks like a completely different van, you've as much skill as about 4 different people I know put together!
Knocked it out the park excellent work, you should be very proud of what you have achieved! Keep the videos coming, really enjoy watching, thank you, peace.
Hey bud thank you glad the videos are watchable 👍 there was a white caddy in my area and that gave me the big to get one. They simple enough to pimp up and plenty of bits around.
not a big fan of timelapse vids but the way you put all that together mate with some banging tunes and some awesome and hard work on the caddy just had to replay it a few times over mate. 👍
I prefer hands on videos to, I see a lot of other build videos and they do a montage of Timelapse and they seem to do well so thought I’d try it out 👍. Glad the tunes are ok it’s taken me 2 years of searching for non copyright music to have in the vids. Thank you for the comment bud 👍
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍 I’m sure one day I’ll get there, if you fancy sharing this video that be great. Appreciate the comments. Have you seen that fast caddy on LLF?
Thanks mate appreciate that 👍 loads of new videos soon, have been collecting parts for the giveaway golf and a few more small bits on the caddy, oh and as the weather gets better a new video on the boat.

Thanks Barry 👍 my old dear always had gold chains while she was here and it must have rubbed off on me a little as I’ve always wanted a CHUNK, finally said sod it im having one. Skint now thow but have a chain 😂
Hi bud so it’s a case of fitting the ends of the touran inner wings as they have the bit for it to clip onto, I didn’t know this when I done my conversion.
the 04-10 was a much more solid feeling van, notice by the weight of the doors in the newer one it feels like a Peugeot! The facelift to this and rear lights is the perfect combo to one hell of a solid van - then bkd her up - what more could you possible need? amazing stuff! love it
Hey bud I havnt drove the facelift one but you describe it well (Peugeot) that would be lighter, flimsy and just not as solid. I will get the later lights for sure 👍 BKD is my favourite 4 pot engine.
@@YTDTETVstick with your's, for a 55 plate she's a beauty now - great job with all of it too, you know your stuff! All the extra bit's make it the part - every caddy usually has a rear dent! They definitely are flimsy and no where near as solid. i do love the newer cega cr170 torque machines but the injectors go a lot quicker on them too and in the cr caddys too, defo a bit softer - pd all the way!
@@theonlykingclayton thank you I’m really happy , I definitely wanted it to look as mint as possible, your right about injectors on the later ones I see almost daily on the Facebook pages another CR engine with an injector down.
First off your RUclips Vw Caddy ones that I have seen new to the channel are so fantastic and helpful viewing thanks!!! But a question can you converts barn doors to a tail lift on caddy’s cheers BRIAN
Hey Brian thank you for that mate appreciate the comment, I’ve seen on the internet people have fitted a tailgate in place of the barn doors. I’ve half got my eye open for the later style tailgate 👍
When you swapped the engine to a 2.0 was it straight forward, did it fit straight in , as in you didn't have to cut the inner wings out or anything like that did you
Hello, would you be so kind and tell me what parts i need to make this same conversion? I understand that i need bonnet + bonnet hinges, two headlights, two fenders. Anything from the front end needs replacement more? Thanks!
Hi I got a caddy conversion. Having trouble with headlights passing mot. Apparently there is a left hand and right hand version headlights. Do I have to alter any of the loom for this or can they just be adjusted?
does the van lose its ability to be insured and taxed as a commercial vehicle with the addition of a crew cab row, will it still pass nct / inspections or will they fuss about 'safety' and lack of airbags etc.
Mate you are a fucking legend .. See when you seen the blue van for the first time ..does it now look how you visioned it from when before you bought it ? Like have you’re plans changed midway or did you have a vision of ya red van and go for it Well done mate honestly …are you a mechanic by trade ? Love your videos bud big respect great therapeutic feeling watching the change 🤟🏻from Scotland bro
Hey bud sorry for the delay 👍 thank you for the kind words. I had done some research on what looks good on caddy’s before even buying one so I had a rough idea on what I wanted. I knew it could look nice but I wasn’t sure until it started coming together. I did get other ideas for the van from going to caddy meets etc and then adding to my van. I’m a mechanic by trade and do a little bit of paintwork am happy that I’ve built the whole van myself rather than just buying it 👍 appreciate the comment

Hi Robert thank you 👍 it’s just a case of sending the logbook to dvla but.. I’ve done this on multiple cars in the past and for some reason it still comes back with the same colour. It’s only when it’s mot’d it then goes through being a different colour.
Top videos mate , just a quick question was wondering if you are familiar with the dsg 1.9tdi I’ve just got one ,2007 plate however it’s feeling a bit jumpy in first gear and reverse? I’m not used to a auto so could just be me , no worries if not thanks
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 so I’ve fixed a few but never owned a DSG so I know sometimes the flywheels and clank about between 1st and reverse, might be that.

Turning my 2007 Caddy into a camper. I've got some bog jobs I need to do and I'm thinking of painting it army green so it's harder to see in the bush.

It's set up for camping but haven't gotten around to to bogging and painting yet. It's still on the cards
Great job

Where did you find the front end upgrade, doing the same to mine and need the new wings,headlights bumper etc
I picked mine up on eBay 👍
does the van lose its ability to be insured and taxed as a commercial vehicle with the addition of a crew cab row, will it still pass nct / inspections or will they fuss about 'safety' and lack of airbags etc.
Hi Patrick sorry for the delay, I’m really not to sure on that. I just use it as a car basically 👍
