Nathan don't get as stressed about background noise it really doesn't drown you out and to be honest for me adds to the DIY theme of the channel keep up the good work
What a behemoth of a job! You did it on factory level. I think the colour scheme is on point, shades of gray, antracite, less prone to seeing dirt and stains, looks sporty. Keep them coming, cheers ! 🍻🍻
best hour and a bit of vanlife building ever. Ive loved the whole transformation of this van from start to finish. Brilliant job! Loved your frustration with noise interferenc e from the industrial estate but it just made the video even better. Much respect🙏- Kenny.
Hey bud thank you so much for the kind words I really appreciate it 🙏 it’s comments like yours that keep me enthusiastic about making videos. People have mentioned about the industrial estate noise adds to the video and I’m sure your right, it doesn’t help me focus on what I’m saying or trying the explain but I shal take your comment on board and next time I’ll just keep the camera rolling. Thank you again Nathan 👍
@@YTDTETVHey Nathan, please do keep rolling. Your reaction to the noises really did add to the fun of the video. I think long form vids like this really do make for great informative viewing.Your channel is brilliant. Much respect 🙏-Kenny/
Perfectly explained, cleanly executed, possible repairs to the bodywork kept in mind, attention paid to the weight of the insulation. It takes a lot of preparation and thinking until your brain smokes to explain something in such detail. Excellent video, Nathan!
Hey bud thank you really appreciate the kind words 🙏 I do my best to explain the reasons behind why I do things as sometimes it helps. I do do a lot of thinking off camera and my brain has definitely let out a puff or smoke or 2. Thanks again 👍
Complete and utter perfection !! 👌🏾with the amount of work and effect going into these vans they will have to be long term keepers !! The build process on each video just keeps getting better and better…. Well done mate… you should be very proud of your builds. Like i keep saying this proper what you call “built, not bought” 👍🏾
Hey scorcha sorry for the delay mate, thank you 🙏 I take a while doing the jobs on the van but I think about stuff in between so I don’t wish I’d done it differently after. I’m very proud of this and the caddy I put everything I know into them and really appreciate the kind words 🙏👍👍
Hey Ben yep I like a whippet and the mrs wanted a dog and she’s super excited to have her very own first puppy, I’ll get a few shots in a video when he arrives 👍 thanks mate
That’s a fantastic job, my converted van doesn’t have insulation and I don’t think they bothered with additional sound deadening either 🤦🏻♂️. That’s a lot of work but you made it look straightforward- completely with you about the tidy space, with your workmanship looking so neat and tidy too that enough to spur you on to get it done. My 12 y/o daughter was hooked watching you too! Great vid 👍🏻
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍 it was a big job but the reward definitely equals it the van is so much nicer to drive and be in I’m happy I got it done. It’s not the hardest job I’m sure you will do it nice 👍 say hello to your daughter for me 🤙
@@YTDTETV She always hangs on the ‘guys ….and girls’ bit at the start, like you can see when she’s watching. Really enjoying all the t5 and caddy stuff with some nuggets of repairs in between.
I tell you what - when you watch Nathan do this, you realise what perfectionist he is - that i am sure is part of the reason he finds ‘client work’ demanding, as no one wants to pay for attention to detail - but they are willing to whine about if it they dont get it
Hey Christina thank you for your kind words, I always done my best with customers vehicles but a lot of the time I ended up out of pocket or someone having a moan 😔
Wow that looks amazing what a massive difference it makes putting some carpet in. She has gone from a shabby old T5 to a beautiful van, I bet you love the van nearly as much as the caddy. It’s nice to see all the stages as you have gone from the body work to the interior and all of it has been done to a high standard👍
Hey Conrad thank you mate really appreciate that 👍 you are right I do have a soft spot for the T5 just like the caddy but shhh don’t tell the caddy he’ll get jealous and break down or something 🤣. Thanks for the kind words 🙏👍
That looks proper good, you have done a fantastic job. That sliding door step, if you look around you can buy a deeper step so no need to put ply underneath it.
Doing a great job, buddy, I'm just completing my 1st conversion, been a good ride with some stress here and there, but worth it all, except adding up the reciepts and realising what's been spent 😆 Whippet is a great choice for a pup, I bet your Mrs is made up having her own, you must post pics, and I hope you enjoyed the couple of celebratory pints prior to returning for filming the carpet install, they are well deserved regardless. Watching and following from Wales on a usual rainy day, 🌧, keep safe 👍
Thank you Richard 👍 I do plan some shots and what I’m going to mention, I also spend a good bit of time thinking about how I’m going to approach the job before I start. Appreciate the comment, hope Billy’s all good 👍
Brilliant video mate explained everything clearly and the fact you used some house hold items that I can buy straight away was a gift. Great channel man subscribed
Just started thinking about modifying my Pajero, thought I'd check some vids out on youtube and stumbled here. That blackhole as you called it at the end looks MINT! I had to sub, nice work mate.
Great job! Ill be fitting out the back of my MK4 caddy when the weather gets better. Respect for the SAS DNB😎 , shout out to all the old DNB heads! RIP Skibadee.
Hey Mike it’s definitely a nice weather job out in the sun I’m sure you’ll do a great job. Yes mate I’m not a big fan of the new stuff so old school for me, rip skibba 🤙
Cracking job you did there Nathan and thank you for the video. I think your colour choice for the interior carpet and flooring was a wise one as the contemporary look matches the exterior 👍. Good to see James in the video too. Hope he's still enjoying his T4. Have a great weekend bud.
Hey Karl as always the video is my pleasure mate thank you for watching and always supporting me 🙏 I’m happy with the colour everything ties in nicely, just need some lighting as it’s very dark in there. You have a great weekend to mate 🙏👍
Van is looking the nuts, i have a swb t5 i got in august last year, half way through sound deadening, now motivated to try and smash it out this weekend. Great video, thanks for all the tips!
Hey Steven it is a mammoth job and would be easy to have a break in between doing it, makes a massive difference when done, not only is it loads quieter to drive it literally feels more solid to drive. Hopefully the water is for ya to get out there and do it 👍 appreciate the comment thank you 🙏
Awesome like an awesome possum.great result. I remember doing mine. Stupidly did it in july and putting in the carpet was like wrestling with a really sticky hairy octopus. Its getting tired now after 8 yrs or so and needs a refresh.
Hey bud thank you 👍 haha that made me chuckle it’s definitely a lot stickier in the summer. A refresh is a lot easier than a full rip out so I’m sure you’ll do it in no time 👍
Hey Marc thank you mate 👍 it’s been making a noise for a little while, I said to the mrs hopefully it holds out till the warmer weather as I’ll do it outside.
Great job you made it look easy and i know its not having just done my caddy maxi think my biggest mistake was starting at the top and working down great video thanks
Hey Clive thank you 👍 I’ve done a few vans now including a LWB transit so I’ve had abit of practice which always helps. I found that doing the whole van in stages seems to go well ie start with the sound deadening then work your way outwards.
Nathan this is true at 3am in france between calais and paris in my Sprinter , my board was rattling bugging me so bad 2 screws loose didnt have a knife or screwdriver so i took the key out ignighton fitted in perfect tighteng up all done , i went to put key in ignition no end on key wouldnt go in ignition half a key . 5 hours wating for ADAC like the AA .
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 🙏 I do plan a lot of jobs before I start then it definitely helps with the outcome especially with a big job 👍
Hey Gareth thank you appreciate that 👍 before this video I didn’t know they made them but someone else mentioned in a comment so I’ve ordered one now. Appreciate that 👍
@@YTDTETV you’re a very talented man Nathan. There are not many that can turn their hand to so many different things and do them so well. OCD a helpful thing! 😀
You've done a great job mate I did the same with mine, the sliding door you can get a deeper step cover I got mine from travelinlite also came with step light easy to doo 👍👍
Good video Nathan! Just in time for me, but a tip, you don't need to use the sound deadening matting on the whole panel, you need 1 sheet per panel at best. The idea is to add a bit of weight to the panel, not to stop sound penetrating the panel from the outside. It just cost you alot of money for no extra benefit!
Great job Nathan it looks a love neat job bud . Ref your sliding door step ; you can buy a extra deep side step to fill the gap you got there instead of filling it with wood . You can also get a longer threshold plastic for the back that gos right up to the pillars . Keep up the good work bud . I am doing the polo light upgrade this weekend and a safari woo window upgrade behind the drive seat . So got to crack bud 😂😂👍🏽👍🏽I’m out
Hey Chris thank you mate appreciate that, I never knew about the deeper step but have found one so will order it 👍 I spotted the longer thresholds last night to but both are another £100 for the pair so can wait till next week. Polo interior light is really good literally plugs straight in. When trying to push it up into position I stuck my fingers through the new hole I cut in the silly headlight cupboard to hold the headlight while pushing up so the headliner didn’t buckle and squash 👍
Hey christoffer thank you 👍 my caddy was easier and quicker being a smaller van so yours won’t be as long winded as in this video I’m sure you’ll do a nice job 👍
Yet again, another brilliant video had me in stitches at points, seeing the t5 in person the videos don't it justice the sound deadening is truly amazing. Lovely old job 👏
❤❤absolutely cracking video what a difference I've got some lining to do on my caddy 😳😳not looking forward to it I'll have your videos with me 😂 t5 👍👍👏👏
Hey Thomas thank you mate appreciate that 🙏 it’s not a hard job just abit long winded, I don’t remember the caddy taking me so long I’m sure you’ll do a nice job 👍👍
Love it. A bit overboard on the application of sound deadening but hope you used heat proof spray contact glue otherwise in hot summers the roof and wall coverings will release and sag.
Hey bud thank you I done the exact same in my caddy and it’s stayed in place, I could have definitely used abit less of the deadening 👍 I guess I got abit carried away.
Yes mate epic job looks fresh definitely should be happy bout it, great hint nd tips as always nd watching u do bits is great, top man, top job well bloody done epic dude
Great video full of very useful information, nicely explained and made me feel i could do this myself, could you please tell me where you got the carpet from as i love the colour. Thanks alot Steve
Hey Steve thank you really appreciate that 👍 I do my best to simplify jobs. I’ll add the link to the bits I used in the video description. Thanks again Nathan
I wonder how much difference, that would make if you left the mute mats off, I mean if only the insulation would produce a good sound deadening??? Because I have seen in music studios people using only the insulation material as sound proofing.
I did sheep wool, but you I know if i ever have to took the roof down - going to add your underlay in there - as its easier to do and you wont miss any spots
If my memory serves me well the caravelle side step is deeper/higher and fills the gap that is created by the raised ply floor if you want a more factory finish at the sliding door
Watched all your videos, the t5 videos are really helping me with my t5. A big thank you for uploading them, Would you be able to cover how you fitted the rear seats to the floor in more detail. You haven’t covered that in any of your videos, did you fit brackets or something under the van to bolt them to, Thanks 👍
Hey Jamie thank you mate appreciate that 👍 I literally just drilled holes and bolted them through the floor with big washers nothing fancy, I did use m12 high tensile bolts so they ain’t going anywhere 👍
@@YTDTETV thanks for the reply, would that pass a mot like that, I’m looking to put rear seats in mine but keep getting told I need to fit extra plates that are bolted to the subframe. All the best 👍👍
@@jamieharris9619 yes I’m confident it would go through an mot, I had a sheet of 4mm steel plate so I cut it into squares and drilled hole in the middle to use as washers 👍
Hey francis I done my transit a couple of years ago and that’s a jumbo to, I did go abit overboard with the sound deadening it doesn’t hurt to use abit less the insulation stuff fills in the voids a lot quicker 👍
Thanks bud you can definitely put some under the floor but I feel that the wood dampens the sound loads so didn’t think it needed it but I guess it would only improve it more 👍👍
B&Q Diall range is a range from their sister company in France, Castorama, and it’s a made up brand name they chose to make it sound unique. They do the same with their UK kitchen ranges called Cook and Lewis which was a made up name to sound like a real quality product but it’s just B&Q’s own brand.
hi, the polo interior light doesnt have the fixing holes to the van ceiling. would i be right thinking you just didnt bother with the fixings, as there isnt any places in the back of the polo light to drill fixing holes? as you can guess im copying this mod
Hey Peter thank you 👍 I havnt done the tailgate yet I’m undecided on weather to fit a window or not, it is a lot quieter inside while driving now I’ll speak about that in another video 👍
Nathan don't get as stressed about background noise it really doesn't drown you out and to be honest for me adds to the DIY theme of the channel keep up the good work
Hey bud thank you 🙏 a few other people I’ve said the same about the background noise. I shall bear it in mind for next time 👍
What a behemoth of a job! You did it on factory level. I think the colour scheme is on point, shades of gray, antracite, less prone to seeing dirt and stains, looks sporty.
Keep them coming, cheers !

Hey darran nice mate 👍 me and the mrs are excited for the new pup
Great video… very detailed… not to mention a bit of comedy..using some of your methods… plus subd 🤙
Thanks mate appreciate that 👍
If my memory serves me well the caravelle side step is deeper/higher and fills the gap that is created by the raised ply floor if you want a more factory finish at the sliding door
Hey bud I never knew that 👍 I shal look into that right now as I’d like it to look perfect. Thank you 👍
Superb. Thank you . . .can you tell me what you used for the vapour barrier please. Thanks.
Thank you, if you look on eBay and search for van vapour barrier you should see the same stuff it’s just a bubble wrap but with a foil type covering 👍
looks awesome nice job
Thanks mate 👍👍
Watched all your videos, the t5 videos are really helping me with my t5.
A big thank you for uploading them,
Would you be able to cover how you fitted the rear seats to the floor in more detail. You haven’t covered that in any of your videos, did you fit brackets or something under the van to bolt them to,
Thanks 👍
Hey Jamie thank you mate appreciate that 👍 I literally just drilled holes and bolted them through the floor with big washers nothing fancy, I did use m12 high tensile bolts so they ain’t going anywhere 👍
@@YTDTETV thanks for the reply, would that pass a mot like that, I’m looking to put rear seats in mine but keep getting told I need to fit extra plates that are bolted to the subframe. All the best 👍👍
@@jamieharris9619 yes I’m confident it would go through an mot, I had a sheet of 4mm steel plate so I cut it into squares and drilled hole in the middle to use as washers 👍
Thanks, I’ll be doing my Transit jumbo this spring..
Hey francis I done my transit a couple of years ago and that’s a jumbo to, I did go abit overboard with the sound deadening it doesn’t hurt to use abit less the insulation stuff fills in the voids a lot quicker 👍
Where did you get the front seats
Cracking job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Hey Ragnar thank you mate 🙏🙏👍
Mint job, why no sound deadening on the floor?
Thanks bud you can definitely put some under the floor but I feel that the wood dampens the sound loads so didn’t think it needed it but I guess it would only improve it more 👍👍
B&Q Diall range is a range from their sister company in France, Castorama, and it’s a made up brand name they chose to make it sound unique. They do the same with their UK kitchen ranges called Cook and Lewis which was a made up name to sound like a real quality product but it’s just B&Q’s own brand.
Hey bud never knew that 👍 I normally just use dodo stuff but thought I’d give it a try.
hi, the polo interior light doesnt have the fixing holes to the van ceiling. would i be right thinking you just didnt bother with the fixings, as there isnt any places in the back of the polo light to drill fixing holes? as you can guess im copying this mod
How much does a vehicle homologation cost in the UK (since you're transforming a light cargo vehicle into a passenger vehicle)?
Great job DTE ur a perfectionist how long did that take u 2do
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍 in between doing a few jobs working I spent a week doing it.
i feel you with that upside down logo 😂
Very nice job.
Thanks Barry 👍👍
Looking good pal
Thanks Ben 👍
Should’ve used spray glue to hold the Diall insulation in. Masking tape will release
Nice to watch mamy thanks
Top quality as usual 🤙
Thanks AK 🙏👍
Can you put here the links and prices? tks
Have you got some links please?
The tighter you pack and compress the insulation in the less it works. Needs to be as open as possible to keep the air pockets which insulates
I never knew that about the insulation but it makes perfect sense I’ll remember that for the next time 👍
Cracking job , did you do the tailgate ? Bet its quieter to drive now !
Hey Peter thank you 👍 I havnt done the tailgate yet I’m undecided on weather to fit a window or not, it is a lot quieter inside while driving now I’ll speak about that in another video 👍
