I like where this is going, well done fella. I imagine this video is gonna help a lot of people doing the same conversion
Instablaster...
Might be time you stop saying you don’t know what you’re doing mate. Looks really good!
Done this last week when there was pretty much no good info on how. Probably took me 4 times as long to do and I haven’t started the seatbelts yet! Still I have a clue on the seatbelts now, thanks!
this is what i miss on most VW related channels.... Ingenuity and propper know how.! plus willing to learn (and a healthy dose of being humble) soo keep being your self.. keep showing your skills. and keep building (y) finnaly something that's not about air and wheels haha! wishing you all the luck. but i think you got it coverd ;)
Thank you bud! ❤️
Nice work buddy get on ccuk Facebook and look for a guy called Ricky Wilson he may have the plastics your looking for second hand, he breaks loads of tourans and sells the parts also dose the conversions every day so good for info as well, keep the content coming mate it’s great for us caddy geeks lol !!!
Hi Dan, give Sirus Automotive in Wednesbury a call. That’s where I bought my rear caddy seats, belts, step plastics and a centre console with armrest. They convert caddy lifes and maxi’s for wheel chairs so used to sell loads of stuff of they didn’t require. Great job amd miss my old caddy 👍🏼
What better way to start a Sunday than another caddy video. These are great viewing. Thanks for knocking them out.
I love how you have done this yourself, cracking job, well done and thanks for posting 👍
Cheers bud, wanted to show people that it is possible to do a project yourself!
I did this, and as soon as i started ripping my touran apart i wished i had bought the seat base brackets, instead of cutting them out. Takes nearly a day to just cut them out cleanly. Good vid 👍
That spotweld drill makes it easy. I did it in a few hours.
Love the Caddy Dan they are still 10k here in AUS so makes for a pretty afforable build base. Loved this series hope you do another one.
Not only is your content mint, it’s cool watching a TH-cam channel grow real-time. Keep it up mate!
great video, thanks for posting, ive often wondered how people do he rear seat conversion with the tay out
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
this is Michael Delaney there I watch your videos in EastEnders in my television Caddy van so you better to do with what the waterproof spray read the whole down inside outside and in the Wi-Fi😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pat from Holland here Dan started following you when putting the phaeton wheels on your T5 way back and gave me somecadvice on spacers for it. must say amazing job to the caddy so far and can't wait the finished result. 👍🏻
I know I,am only halfway through the video , but you know it's gonna be good Sunday watch. Great video Dan 👌
Glad I stayed around till the end for Mr January 2021.
DACIND coming your way soon...
I can use Touran parts on my Caddy 2K. 🤯 Thanks a lot for this info ❤️ I just got this video suggested. I'll have to watch your series 🚀
Great video again Dan, just be careful when it comes to insurance, some companies won't touch vans with rear seat conversions.
Who’d have thought that all the drilling of spot welds and fabrication on the Golf would come in handy for the Caddy!
Nice clean and informative.
If you are going to tackle a job this big it highlights the processes you need to know.
The productions are getting better every time. Very professional.
No need to reply. It’s all good.
Love what you did to that van, I'm in the process of converting a vivaro now!
Cracking job on the caddy rear seat conversion. This project is coming along nicely👍🤟✊
Great job lad just about to tackle this on my mk4, I'm going the same way for the middle belt so was good to see your approach there
Very tidy work dude, Caddy is looking great now.
Let me know if you need the wing repeaters coded out, the door module has the output which can be coded with VCDS for the mirrors but the BCM output for the wing repeaters is a bit more complex to disable.
The side door trim you need will be from a Caddy life, the maxi is longer. Put up the part number you're looking for on the forum, I'm sure it's something we can find.
Thank you for the offer! I will need some info. I have VCDS but have never used it!!!
What’s the end goal?
It’s looking like you’re taking a touran apart, to fit parts into a caddy to make a touran.
To have a passenger carry capable, and running Caddy. With some unique upgrades. The Touran is a parts vehicle and isn't the look or vehicle he wants. He wants a caddy that is versatile with more room than a minivan. End goal have fun doing it, teach others how it can be done and help them get on their own projects.
Pretty much a Caddy with 5 seats, a nice interior and exterior. Even though I am fitting a Touran interior it will always be a Caddy.
@@DanChambersDAC i like vans and unusual vehicles so i dig what you're doing.
I thought VW did Caddy crew vans but i assume they are quite rare.
I recently bought a mint older Berlingo Multispace so have the benefit of a car and a van.
I was thinking of this yesterday. And now it popped up on TH-cam. Thanks for the inspiration!
looking great so far Dan
Good few caddy life for breaking in Ireland . Check out done deal and damaged reparable section . Most on breakers yards so they will ship it to you 👍
Come along way Dan from working on the T5.
Tbf I thought you were in over your head but props to you, you made that look easy
Saved the hassle, i just bought a caddy maxi life, more space because it’s long wheel base plus already has the seats
Wouldn’t make any interesting TH-cam content just buying one though would it 😂
Hey nice build, regarding the side step speak to cab direct in Coventry or Glasgow, as they are coach builders making the caddy into an mpv.
Nice build very interesting and hope the info helps.
Coventry has many spares so hope they are local to you
Cracking work DC. Looking forward to the front conversion episode
Thank you, exactly the video I needed. 🙏
Love the build,Learning something new.Good stuff.No reply needed
Good lad, I plan on doing the very same thing soon enough. Just working out the finer details.
Thanks again
Going to be a mega van when its finished 👍 them side steps are like rocking horse 💩 everyone wants them 😅
I am your biggest fan from tunisia great job mate
Great work Dan, really looking forward to seeing the development of the van. 👌
Sometimes, instead of searching for a specific part, search 'breaking' and ask the seller if he has your part.
"caddy maxi breaking" for instance.
Cheers bud, Yeah been doing that but apparently no breakers want to reply 🤣
Nice to see some one else doing all the work well done more vids .
Fantastic advice and tutorials,need closure footage buddy
Cheers, It is difficult to get better footage as I do everything myself.
Amazing, makes me want a caddy now!
Awesomely awesome Dan apart from the dodgy pose at the end. Choked on my Frosties
Excellent video
Strong work brother
Looks good man 👌 done mine last year it was fun. it’s good to see someone making videos about it will definitely help people doing there own 👌👌
Coming along nicely 👍🏼
Good work Dan, surprised you didn’t go with the a lap belt in the middle seat
Great content love the build. Can't wait for the next video, your you tube come up as a recommendation and can't stop watching keep the good work up
Great progress Dan, well done! 👍👍
Thanks for that
fantastic video Dan keep them coming
Much needed video, i wish this was about when i done mine. Keep it up son 👍🏽
This caddy build is looking wicked
Nice 1 Dan I will check a few breakers for you in Scotland for your panels and let you know but pretty common up here as they use them as taxis mate 👍
Great video mate
Brill. Like the last comment said. I'm going to have to do this myself .
Looks alot of hard work dude 😆
Great video, this sort of thing alongside the Golf videos is great.
Another great video. Slightly disturbed by the pose at the end though 😄
Another great video Dan your videos can't come soon enough to watch. Keep up the good work mate 👍 👏 👌
Cracking job mate I didn't know that was possible
Made it look so simple Dan, good stuff
Looking forward to the end result bud
You made that look easy Dan. Top job and a quality vid as usual
Excellent video Dan, definitely help a lot of people. Looks good and liking where this project is going 👍
great work mate. love these videos
Another great video, bet this vans going to be wicked once it’s done.
You make it all look so easy, great vid Dan, gona look great when it’s done 👍
Keep up the good work. Just watched your latest video and your welding is getting better 🤓
Very beautiful job, Dan!!! 👍
Very helpful 👌
Some bits in this video I've been made aware of, Cheers 🤙
Is there part numbers for the floor mounted belt brackets and the roof panel as I'd rather do it as oem fit as possible its all done apart from rear belts 🤔
Love what your doing mate been following since the camper build wicked channel 👏👍
Really loving this content!!
Loving this series. Keep them coming.
Great job fair play to you Dan
Always wondered if this was possible. Now I know it is. :)
Hi mate, great video again, if you are on Facebook join the Vw caddy van forum, you might be able to get parts off there or always someone that can get hold of them, or maybe join the BGCO (British Gas caddy owners) same again might be able to get maxi life parts.
Thanks for the info
Loving this caddy build good work dan keep it up 👍🏻
Bu işi biliyorsun
You smashing it , well done
Hi mate you got a part number for belt you've fitted ive bought wrong one the passenger side rear
Top job Dan good vid not too long and dragged out over 44 videos but still good info 👍
Looks great Dan, 👍
Good job still waiting for your reply about the water box installation on your toran and the horn. I know your busy but a yes or no be good thanks.
Great looking job dan. Keep the good work up 👍🏼
Plastic side steps are available from VW... I know as I bought mine from them literally a couple months ago. I’ll dig the code out for you
2k0 853 369 82v
2k0 853 370 82v
82v is for the colour which in mine was Titan black
Thank me later 😉
Cheers for the codes bud. Spoke to them last week and no longer available. Got some second hand though.
Отличная работа! Все сделано красиво и аккуратно! Друг я только начал восстанавливать похожий белый кадди и тоже хочу сделать сидения от тоурана👍🏻
Hi bud for the rear seatbelt on the driver side did you have to cut down the inside to get the roll part in 👍🏼
Great work but how would one go about insuring a 2 seat caddy to a 5 seat caddy, sorry not up on all the types of caddy there are, still loving the work
Cheers bud. i insure with a company that specialises in modified vehicles. I will just tell them and it will be covered.
Excellent work Dan looking good 👍keep up the good work great content 😊
Great conversion Dan. But aren't you in danger of just turning the caddy into the touran? Are you going to put windows in the back?
That's my thought as well. What's the point of buying a van and then swapping pretty much a complete Touran interior in it?
Changing the front for a bit more luxury, sure, but the rear should've stayed a van imho.
Now he's just making a Caddy Life/Maxi.
@@devilskullBEL I guess some of it is, just because it can be done! I am amazed at how many of the parts are virtually interchangeable. I'm sure it'll be a great Cadran when its finished or even a Touraddy! you chose.
Would it be easier to weld up the windows in a touran?
I am doing these jobs as they are very popular in the Caddy scene but no one has ever done video's on them. The sears will fold forward and can be removed so will still have a pretty decent sized load area. A bonus of being able to carry 5 people too. No windows going in.
great job! how about legal side of the story? V5 says 2 seater van, isn't it?
So the bit of plastic in the door should be on of a caddy maxi to complete it? I’ve just brought a caddy and it’s been half converted and is missing the plastic over the door thresholds x
Welds look really sooty, are you sure the backing gas is working correctly?
Yeah the gas was low on the first couple of welds. I turned it up and added some longer welds.
Great stuff Dan
Great detail dan
Well done great video what would you charge for this install 🤣
Thank you. Unfortunately I don’t work on other peoples cars
