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...
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! ❤️
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!
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!
Might be time you stop saying you don’t know what you’re doing mate. Looks really good!
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 👍🏼
Not only is your content mint, it’s cool watching a TH-cam channel grow real-time. Keep it up mate!
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.
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.
I was thinking of this yesterday. And now it popped up on TH-cam. Thanks for the inspiration!
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. 👍🏻
Love the build,Learning something new.Good stuff.No reply needed
Love what you did to that van, I'm in the process of converting a vivaro now!
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
Cracking work DC. Looking forward to the front conversion episode
Glad I stayed around till the end for Mr January 2021.
DACIND coming your way soon...
Cracking job on the caddy rear seat conversion. This project is coming along nicely👍🤟✊
looking great so far Dan
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 video, thanks for posting, ive often wondered how people do he rear seat conversion with the tay out
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I know I,am only halfway through the video , but you know it's gonna be good Sunday watch. Great video Dan 👌
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 🚀
Nice to see some one else doing all the work well done more vids .
Good lad, I plan on doing the very same thing soon enough. Just working out the finer details.
Thanks again
Great work Dan, really looking forward to seeing the development of the van. 👌
Great video again Dan, just be careful when it comes to insurance, some companies won't touch vans with rear seat conversions.
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😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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 !!!
Great video, this sort of thing alongside the Golf videos is great.
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!!!
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
Tbf I thought you were in over your head but props to you, you made that look easy
You made that look easy Dan. Top job and a quality vid as usual
Much needed video, i wish this was about when i done mine. Keep it up son 👍🏽
fantastic video Dan keep them coming
Another great video Dan your videos can't come soon enough to watch. Keep up the good work mate 👍 👏 👌
Made it look so simple Dan, good stuff
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 👌👌
Great progress Dan, well done! 👍👍
Come along way Dan from working on the T5.
Amazing, makes me want a caddy now!
Brill. Like the last comment said. I'm going to have to do this myself .
Awesomely awesome Dan apart from the dodgy pose at the end. Choked on my Frosties
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 🤔
Hi bud for the rear seatbelt on the driver side did you have to cut down the inside to get the roll part in 👍🏼
Coming along nicely 👍🏼
Great help Dan 1 question did u drop the fuel tank before welding. Am about to do this to my caddy and just wondered 🤔
great work mate. love these videos
Who’d have thought that all the drilling of spot welds and fabrication on the Golf would come in handy for the Caddy!
Another great video, bet this vans going to be wicked once it’s done.
Going to be a mega van when its finished 👍 them side steps are like rocking horse 💩 everyone wants them 😅
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 👍
Keep up the good work. Just watched your latest video and your welding is getting better 🤓
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 👍
This caddy build is looking wicked
Excellent video Dan, definitely help a lot of people. Looks good and liking where this project is going 👍
Cracking job mate I didn't know that was possible
You make it all look so easy, great vid Dan, gona look great when it’s done 👍
Loving this series. Keep them coming.
Good work Dan, surprised you didn’t go with the a lap belt in the middle seat
Hi mate you got a part number for belt you've fitted ive bought wrong one the passenger side rear
Really loving this content!!
Loving this caddy build good work dan keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you, exactly the video I needed. 🙏
Very beautiful job, Dan!!! 👍
Looks alot of hard work dude 😆
Strong work brother
Love what your doing mate been following since the camper build wicked channel 👏👍
Another great video. Slightly disturbed by the pose at the end though 😄
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.
Looks great Dan, 👍
Looking forward to the end result bud
I am your biggest fan from tunisia great job mate
You smashing it , well done
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
Great job fair play to you Dan
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 😂
Great looking job dan. Keep the good work up 👍🏼
Class mate, coming along nicely 👌
Excellent work Dan looking good 👍keep up the good work great content 😊
This is awesome. Are the seats easily removed and can they lay totally flat so there's a bed space? Thank you!
Just wondering what year u get the seats out the touran great vid 👍👍👍
Cheers bud. The donor was a 2010 but any Touran seats will fit.
Hey mate thank you for the seat belt conversion video been following for my build having the seat belts inside the pillar do they work ok as mine seem to lock on ? Thankd
Great video mate
Excellent video
Fantastic advice and tutorials,need closure footage buddy
Cheers, It is difficult to get better footage as I do everything myself.
Great detail dan
Top job Dan good vid not too long and dragged out over 44 videos but still good info 👍
Great stuff Dan
Hi, what did you do to attach the lower seat belt mount? Did you fit a plate to the wheel arch?
Thanks
Hi, Yes I riveted a plate into the wheelarch.
Always wondered if this was possible. Now I know it is. :)
Hey what bracket did you use in the arch to secure the seat belts please
When u did the welding did u take fuel tank out at all
great job! how about legal side of the story? V5 says 2 seater van, isn't it?
Have you got a part number or link for the plates you used for seatbelts
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.
Thanks for that
Job well done there mate 👏
Hi, great videos Dan, do u have the links to the seat belt brackets ? Cheers
