I love this channel , no big white teeth and silly sunglasses and hats on back to front and my girlfreind its sick ,And porsche and lambos from America all crap and pure cash being fed into them ,this is the real deal .you and dean top guys, and rob and chris the real deal As well . But some have so much cash coming in they dont care about parts cost . you know what im saying .
Hey guy thank you mate 👍 yep definitely no props or hidden gimmicks here just me doing my thing with a realistic budget and the real world. Appreciate your comment sir 👍
Thank you for the video Nathan. When you first explained about what you were going to the bumper I had my doubts, as it looked great already. However, after watching the transformation I am completely in awe, it looks absolutely stunning. You must be really pleased and proud with what you've achieved. Top work mate👌.
Hey Karl I was a little unsure to but I had seen others do it so I had a rough idea, super happy with how it turned out the van has come along way. Always appreciate your comments mate 👍
Oh that tip about cutting a groove about have depth in each bumper is a good shout. Im going to try that when i do the R36 rear bumper on my B7 Passat next week. Killer job!
Great work DT, there was never any doubt that it wouldn't come out spot on. Positioning the number plate is a difficult one, so stick it in the window, turn your baseball cap back to front, grab the steering wheel with your right hand at 'ten to twelve' hang over the handbrake with your upper body, turup the toonz up and your good to go
Wow, I just couldn’t see that coming together once you chopped that bumper. A lot skill and staying power until the job was finished and what a finish 👍
Hey Mike I was unsure at first, some jobs do need staying power as it would be easy to stop half way then find it hard to start again. Appreciate the comment mate 👍
Once again Nathan what an absolute perfectionist you are but DAMN son that looks sublime, I think cut the plate and put it middle red. More videos please, can watch you working all day long.
Mate when you started the hybrid bumper I thought nooo, but the transformation is out This world, mate, well done, looks sweet." Nice square number plate would look 👌 keep the videos coming mate 😊
Nathan 😮 I have said this to you before mate..I’m not sure you realise how talented you are. That is some job..attention to detail is unreal Absolutely love your videos Top marks Super super impressed 👍
Hey bud thank you I really appreciate your kinds words 🙏 I do my best with most jobs as I’d regret it after and wished I’d gone the extra step so to save that I just imply the same energy into all jobs. Thank you again mate 🙏👍
@@YTDTETV Defo credit where it's due! I remember back in the day people used to buy a Ford Escort van and do RS Turbo Engine and body kit conversion on it. They also looked the nuts back in the day.
@@kalsingh3660 so I used to do all them things to escort estates and escort vans etc, rs turbo bonnet and arches 👍 I did do a few rs engines swaps then fuel prices went up so I done a few diesel conversions instead.
That looks amazing fella. And I have to say that I LOVE that you done the whole thing in one video. Love it Also yes with the square number plate on the front fella 🎉🎉
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 there’s another guy on here that made it into 3 videos but I ain’t got time for that. Appreciate the feedback on the number plate.
Looks amazing your a brave lad to cut up a perfect bumper, the end result is stunning your skill set is outstanding,reg plate in the middle for me not in the grill though but it's your van you have to be happy for your self thanks for posting this video 👍
Hey Micheal thank you sir 👍 I was abit nervous cutting into the bumper but I half knew it would be ok. Appreciate the feedback on the number plate and thank you for watching.
Hey Tommy thank you mate appreciate that 👍 had a couple of other people comment last night about the dogs etc but I’ll keep you updated if they are still available.
Caddy was looking sweet before you started 🤣 looks even better now, nice job, you are a true craftsman who takes pride in his work. I think original size number plate on the bumper not in the grille. 👍 Let the boys in nappies cut their plates down.👍
Great job mate 👍🏻I thought you were on the wacky backy when u starting cutting into your bumper at the start . Super job looks really sweet . Great finish
I honestly cannot believe the transformation on this van - how is this the same van as that old blue shed that you picked up? This thing actually looks mean. 😍 I've seen the hybrid bumper done plenty of times, but never seen it in red. This thing looks evil now. Just need some new shoes on her I reckon to complement the new aggressive look! Top job Nath! As for the plate, definitely trim and mount in the standard position - but use sticky pads instead of drilling. NO - scratch that, have a look into Magnaplates - they supply magnet kits that stick behind the bumper and magents that go on the back of your plates. That way you can take your plate off without the fear of ruining your paintwork!
Hey Dan thank you the van has definitely come along way since buying it, I’m super happy with it. Ye I’ve seen a few hybrids but none in red either. Your so right about the wheels, i desperately want a pumped set of wheels to fill the arches abit more. A couple of people have mentioned the magna plates, I’m going to look at them right now. Thanks again sir 👍
Hey Nathan, loving the van and the videos mate. I felt inspired by the tt centre console grab handles. Bought a mint set, however, I cant seem to find the right alignment on my caddy. Could you post some good pics or do a short vid on them please? Cheers
Best i get looking for a bumper,, In the late 80s we were buying crashed Escort RS Turbos and putting the engine and running gear in old telecom MK3 vans,, happy days.Enjoying your vids ,, Cheers
You’ve done a really mint job of that! Swage lines look crisp 👌🏼 Surprised haven’t seen this rolling about as you’re really local Also nice to see Nathan at B2B get a shout out, he does qualify work like yourself Time to watch the earlier parts of this series - keep up the work
Hey James thank you sir appreciate that 👍 I use it most days so I’m sure you will soon, yep Nathan does do good work that’s where I learnt my bodywork skills 👍
needed to comment again as this is just amazing work looks a factory bumper from front -punt these badboys out at 800 be laffin son! get the mk4 rear lights to finish her off, short plate as you've only 5 letters really makes them look better imo, or could get the letters individually and wap it where you want, looking immaculate now tho mate and the work you've put in is top class, definetely buy her off you if your selling in future 😂, only ever caddy you know its done proper proper!
Hey Bud blimey a second comment 👍 I had seen a few before and they look good, I wonder how good others have been done ie all the lines etc I will be looking when I see another up close. Yes I like the mk4 lights and defo want a set. I think there would be plenty of call for people wanting these. Haha if I sell your at the top of the list, thank you mate 👌👍
Total inspiration as usual mate.keep it going.looking forward to the t5 build.currently have one and gathering the parts as i write this.wanted to go t6 front but silly prices so going t5.1🤞 6:27
That's epic work m8.... Maby we could see you do a facelift on this bryan with the a3s car sounds like a nice fella.......😂 Ref the number plate if I were you ide put it in the bin
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 haha it took me a while to work you message out but I’m with ya now 🤣 sorry I missed ya the other night. See you soon.
Great job , plastic weld to join panels , honestly if you put your mind too it and there was a market for them you could buy damaged ones and make them ready in primer but as you have probably worked out how to lower labor and your parts and material costs
Looks good, Not sure I’d do a full Gloss black grille the bright breaks it up a bit you can get a honey comb grille for a mk6 golf if that would fit . It would look terrible if it had black grille with a chavvy black badge on as well though
Hey, I notice that the bumper is a year old now, has the bumper held up? I’m hesitant to do something like this because I think it’ll crack apart at the seam over time.
A true artist at work. That bro is a masterpiece 👍🏼
Hey bud thank you 🙏 really appreciate that 👍
Here here
Amen
Bosh
Your caddy looks mint slick proper good video no decking around straight talking to the point no rambling like most people who bore me watching

Hey Russel thank you mate 👍 yes there’s a lot of people wanting them for sure, if I see them come up cheap and damaged I may just have a go.
What you say about the groove or ledge in the original bumper makes complete sense.
Thanks mate 👍
Hi mate, great video what size diameter was the water pipe and what size was the bracket I’ve got to do this to my screen wash bottle🤙
Great job
Thanks Marc appreciate that 👍
Looks mint class job
Hey bob thank you sir appreciate that 👍
Looks good, Not sure I’d do a full Gloss black grille the bright breaks it up a bit you can get a honey comb grille for a mk6 golf if that would fit . It would look terrible if it had black grille with a chavvy black badge on as well though
Hey gav thank you sir 👍 ye I agree about to much black on the front end 👍
