Smooth Custom Firewall Install // MK1 Caddy Project
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2020
- We're fabricating and installing a custom made smooth firewall in the front of the MK1 rabbit pickup to create a shaved, clean looking show engine bay. This is one the last big fabrication projects we need to do for this caddy build.

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.

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!

Your attention to detail is awesome
Cheers!
Once in a while TH-cam actually does recommend something I’d like to watch 😁
Haha, cheers 👍
Watching those beads getting smoothed over was way too therapeutic 😍
Sarah MacLeod yeah I know, it’s so therapeutic doing it too
Savage work 👍
Cheers dude👍
Beautyful Work.
Thank you very much!
Bloody lovely is that!
Haha thanks very much! 😅
awesome job
Cheers!
Good job dude. Im rather envious of your sheet break makes mine look like a baby
Torque Junkie Chop Shop cheers, yeah it is a handy piece of kit for the work we do
you sir just earned a sub. ive spent the last 3 months working on a rusted out mk1 rabbit i pulled out of the woods thats been sitting since 1992. ive got the rust fixed the best i can and the vr6 in and im in the process of hooking everything up but holy shit you do nice work. granted all ive got is a hammer and my parents driveway but damn you can make pieces better than vw could in 1981. nice work!!!
Cheers man! Awesome project, will be cool with the VR6. That sounds very similar to how I started out too, you just do the best with what you've got.
Another cool video!
Thanks! 👍😁
Nice!!
Thanks!
What is your plan for steering? are you going to retain the stock steering rack? replicate the mounts?
Hat off, really nice. Doing some metalwork also myself, must say you are skilled and patient. Subbed👍
Cheers man!
Loving it
Cheers!
Cool project! Really dig the music too 👍. Would a few beads/dimples help with structural rigidity of the flat section? Looking forward to the next installment 😀.
Cheers! Yeah possibly but we wanted it smoooth, and used 2mm steel so should be strong enough 👍
@@RotboxMetalworks all good so 👍😀.
Nice work! How many hours on the bulkhead?
Looking good. Are you smoothing more of the bay and hiding/tucking things?
Thanks, yeah that's the plan. Haven't figured it out 100% yet.
Good job. I want to have thesame job as you my friend 😁
Go for it!
I’ve got a caddy or a mk1 cabrio or a mk1 hatch you can work on if you want 😁
Ha cheers, got enough on with this one!
Is there any downsides from doing this... Like water going into the engine bay?
Don't think so but we'll find out, it'll only be a dry weather car anyway
I want to replace my MK2 floor where can I find u?
What's the song at 7:20?
Sorry can't remember the name but all the music we use is from the TH-cam Audio Library
Really cool vid and great work. But why though. This seems like 60 hours of work for what? A smooth firewall? Whack.
Wild Weasel cheers for the comment. If you’re asking these kind of questions you’re probably watching the wrong build! If you watch our other videos, nothing we’ve done on this truck is necessary. We’re doing it because we can and because we want to. And also the firewall was rotten.
Where are you located?
We're in the UK!
Question is where's the VIN number now? 😁
That's a good question
Wherever we decide to put it of course!
@@RotboxMetalworks great to live in country where such things are legally allowed 😉
