🛠 ABOUT ROTBOX
Hey! We're Mat & Len, a guy and a girl from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. We love making stuff out of metal and building cars together.
What kind of cars do we build? We mainly work on modern classic cars (anything 80s- early 90s) and right now we're restoring and modifying a VW MK1 caddy pickup #thatslammedcaddy
We're down for anything metalworking related and always love to hear your suggestions for what DIY project we should take on next in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by, if you want to see more welding, grinding, hammering, plasma cutting, press braking as well as all the ups and downs of our fabrication projects make sure you subscribe by hitting that red button!

Me: "Think I'll go change the oil on my car today? You?"
Rotbox: nonchalantly - "Think I'll make a custom steel front boom-pa with a flared license plate holder, flush end caps, and custom boom-pa mounts."
Me: "..." - "think I'll go back inside and watch telly all day..."
Incredible work! I said it before and I'll say it again - your tenacity and skill is awe-inspiring! Carry on mate!
Cheers, you're way too kind mate! 😂 It's not always as straightforward as the editing makes it look 😁👍
That's perfection and craftsmanship at the best 👌 👍
Wow just wow awesome talent 👏 🙌 👌 definitely on another level well done 👏
It’s a thing of beauty, fantastic
Totally mesmerising. Got to admit I was a doubter until those ends were trimmed. Absolute masterpiece 😍
Glad you enjoyed it! Haha, we felt the same way...
i hope your still working on this project or have it finished, always enjoyed watching your videos
With production of the mk1 ending in 2009 in South Africa, I thought I had seen all attempts to modify the front bumper ... guess not!
Check out our last few iterations of arguably the all time South African favourite vehicle.
Full window front doors. Steering wheel airbags and a dash from some Seat vehicle not available in SA.
Excellent work guys
Thanks dude! We didn't realise the MK1 was so popular in South Africa
@@RotboxMetalworks oh there was even a limited edition R line released. 1.8i motor with a slight performance camshaft and down pipe from the factory and a body kit. Google's your friend for images of that 1
I honestly think it's awesome. The only issue I'd be thinking of is weight. Unless you planning on putting in a powerful engine that would benefit from the amount of weight in the front which would be great for traction. In future YOU could sell off that as a mould to a factory or a person who does fabrication/customisation daily but obviously when you done with the entire build duuurrrr👍🏼👍🏼
Great job though.
Always baffles me how smooth and legit everything ends up! So good man!
DerfE36 cheers man, it’s all how level you keep the butt joints whilst you’re welding the pieces together 👍
Looks so good!
Thank you so much!😀
You guys give me inspiration to keep my R32 Caddy project going! Thank you!

Great video as always
Glad you enjoyed, thanks!
dope jobe men. Congrats
Appreciate it!
ive heard that they call you the Wizard of welding.
Absolutely amazing... im lost for words...
Haha, cheers dude!
That looks great. Would look even better with an air dam/ chin spoiler/ undertray with some support struts. Exceptional stuff right there! 😎👍
Great ideas! Possibly a future project? :) Thanks so much
Great vids
Thank you!!👍
Awesome 😀🇮🇪
Thanks! 😃
Love the fab work. I thought for sure you'd wheel in some curve on the bumper to match the radius of the grill a bit more closely.
Keith Hache cheers! Haha, that’s a little above my skill level right now 😅 maybe something to try on a future project?
@@RotboxMetalworks aahh. Well, it's all easily 50x better than anything I could do, so keep up the good work.
@@dubCanuck1 cheers, always room for improvement though! 👍😅
это удтвительно! в финале должен получиться ГАЗ-69, где нет ничего НЕ из металла!!
Nice fabrication as always guys, now, where are you putting the intercooler?
Custom grille, half intercooler, half radiator.
And how long before we know the colour?
Keep up the good work.
Cheers man! Custom grille is on the list ✅ as for everything else... you'll know as soon as we do 😅👍
Beautiful work. What gauge sheet are you working with?
Thanks. It was 10 gauge
nothing makes me more happy than watching your build process. I always love the process, sometimes even more than the final product. Its getting creative that gets the juices flowing.
Cheers dude, really appreciate it! Couldn't agree more. Love making stuff and being creative, think everyone should give it a go! 👍
Great job but I think it’s not the best look bumper for caddy. Remember the mk1 golf and caddy shell look better clean if you want bumpers need to blindly in shell. Thanks for you channel and your jobs
Fair enough! Appreciate that everyone has their own preferences, this is just what we wanted. Cheers for the comment
Are u going to do shaved door handles?
Hmm haven't thought about the doors yet, that would be sweet!
👍👍👍👍👍
😀
"Americans" Bro small bumpers are the only way to make a MK1 look good!, UK "hold my beer"
Alex Thompson 😂
Co dalej z Caddy?
