Van is looking a 1000 times better already mate and I can tell now you won’t be happy until you paint the whole van. If anyone wanted to see how you do repairs and sees Your attention to detail even on a budget fantastic job ❤
Sorted! Much better! I was doing some bits on my T5 today, took a metal cover off behind the battery and rust bubbling through on the edges, so sanded it down, rust treated and a bit of black out of the can, had your voice in my head saying it’s gotta look pretty 😂
Hey bud thank you 👍 ah my T5 has corrosion in the exact same area I rust treated it but I do need to tackle it abit deeper soon. Haha 😂 I’m sure it looks fine 👍
Nathan what a fantastic job done and that repair will probably outlast the entire van,even better on a zero budget !! What a first class friend and a top bloke you are 👏👍🛠️🔥
Hey Ian thank you I like to do my best nothing worse than a problem coming back and needing doing again so I go the extra mile first time to try and solve it.
Nice repair DT, that smartens it up a treat. I did think "it will be no joke when you give that sill a poke" the holes a.eays come out bigger than expected
Loving the body work Nathan my sons Mk3 caddy must be one of those that doesn’t rust happy days for now 🤞gonna be no tradesmen like yourself left before long top job man 👍
Hey Tony thank you mate super appreciate the kind words 🙏 it’s only a handfull that do rust a large number of them don’t. I do wonder what’s happened with the rusty ones.
Andy is a lucky guy having a mate like you. Dam great job! It always amazes me rubbing down around rust spots and how the rust veins spread under what looks like OK paint.
Hey bud thank you 👍 yes rust does like to grow abit, once it gets in you need to make sure you get to fresh metal or it grows back fast. Hopefully we went far enough.
I love this channel just a man in a unit a lock up . No big barn and a gold credit card and 5 mechanics to help .if kellogs corn flakes weetabix went bust welding would stop in britain .
Absolutely brilliant job you did there Nathan 👌 and thank you for the video. You've really transformed that Caddy in such a short time. Andy must be super happy as to how his Caddy now looks. Have a great weekend mate 👍.
Hey Karl thank you mate 👍 Andy is super happy, just a few small areas to tidy up then we can start looking at wheels and suspension etc, hope you had a good weekend to 🙏
Brilliant job Nathan, picking up some excellent tips in the budget build series. Shame the later dubs rust so bad... i remember being around 12yrs old (nearly 40 now) working wiith my dad on his K reg mk2 passat. You could see the black wax they used to spray on the older models from factory, they didnt rust half as bad. Keep up the great work pal 👍
Hey mark thank you 🙏 I like hearing father and son fixing stories ❤️ I look forward to my boy helping me. Yes I remember the black wax actually it did a good job 👍
Hey bill thank you 👍 it was a simple design so thought I’d make it, transits have a very different style so I would have bought a replacement if that was the case.
Hey griff thank you mate really appreciate that 👍 I watch TH-cam of an evening and I take note on what other people record and how they edit and try to do similar with mine.
Great vid, and massive of you to help Andy out like this, lovin this series, keep pushing mate, hope your channel explodes and you make a fffkkin fortune out of doin what you love 🙂🇮🇪
Hey Alan thank you mate really appreciate that 🙏 glad your enjoying it. I don’t want for loads of money but a few more quid wouldn’t go a miss, appreciate the support and shout out to 🇮🇪 👍
Amazing work once again bud, your such a perfectionist, I just wished the guy who did my T5 was the same, if you didn’t live so far away I would now be pestering you to do some body work for me 😂
mate honestly, you need to get on a daily upload schedule because I'm finding myself sat here waiting for your vids hahaha, that Caddy is looking mint, look forward to seeing it progress
Hey bud thank you glad you enjoy the videos 🙏 if I had a camera man and an editor I could definitely post abit more as I do this stuff all day everyday. 👍
Great vid Nathan it helps all . Even tho I am a vw man like you it helps everyone don’t matter what they drive . All have the same thing in common rust . Did you find my email about the t5 tailgate bud . Thanks for the entertainment and the tips 👍🏽
Hey Chris thank you I enjoy playing with the vws and they seem to go down well on the channel. I have been inundated with messages and emails recently, since playing with Andy’s caddy I’ve been non stop from 8am to 10pm for over a week, finding time to reply at the moment has been hard but I’m having the weekend off to get though them 👍
@@YTDTETV thank Nathan I understand that’s what happens when you get famous eh 👍🏽 soon as I can come pick up the tailgate bud will be great I have got hinges and the panels for it now I think I am going to try do a remote unlatch . Your survo assist unlock has inspired me . Thanks bud .
Fantastic work Nathan. It may be a budget restoration but your work is still better than most trying their hardest and spending big bucks. Caddy is looking so much better already 😎 Looking forward to the next vid bud 😊
Epic video mate some great metal work there dude, welding nd painting mate top job, top man happy days definitely the best channel on here dude by far looking forward to ur next video dude well bloody done mate
Hey Dean ah mate thank you for the kind words mate there’s a lot of great channels on here so to be mention in the same context of them makes me super happy so thank you 🙏👍
I’ll second that, I’ve rattle canned similar areas and with plenty of prep and taking your time it is possible to get a decent enough finish, interesting to see the different shades for the same paint code, I thought that was a thing of the past.
Great job Nathan, I wish I had friends like you! This van reminds me of my 2015 T5.1, white, 200k and needs a lot of rust repairs and paint jobs. I've taken it to the local bodyshops and no-one wants to touch it :( I think you should paint the bottom of the door, if I saw that for sale as is today, my brain would say "that door needs a repaint to match the quarter"
@@YTDTETV Keep a bit of that paint spare for the bottom of the replacement wing too, then it'll look right :) The problem with my van is it was brush washed every 5k until it was on 192k when I got it. The Candy White is awful and it's had quick cheap repairs in the past in what could be DAF white! The local painters all have pride (or greed) and don't want their work to look odd so they either reject it or suggest a full respray. I don't want it to rot out like that Caddy so thanks again for the informative content because I may end up doing the same repairs myself with rattly cans!
Problem with the front wigs is that the wing stonegards rub on the inside of the wings . Over time the paint is rubbed off then in comes the rust. When you get the replacement wings a thick layer of brush on sealer where the stonegard makes contact with the wing. Problem solved . Hope this helps.
@@YTDTETV I used to do the same stuff for mates but since I got hurt I can't these days. You were looking VAG I think I've pulley's and a brand-new dipstick hose for the 19 TDIs . You can have them if you want
I dont think most people realise how many steps are involved to do a proper body repair like that. They ain’t quick little jobs! Turned out sweet like Tropicana though 😂
Hey B-RY thanks mate, years of practice in my workshop shows what lasts and what don’t and especially with rust you have to go all in or it comes straight back.
Van is looking a 1000 times better already mate and I can tell now you won’t be happy until you paint the whole van. If anyone wanted to see how you do repairs and sees Your attention to detail even on a budget fantastic job ❤
Hey Stephen thank you 👍 ah man it’s crossed my mind a couple of times 🙈 appreciate the kind words 👍
Sorted! Much better! I was doing some bits on my T5 today, took a metal cover off behind the battery and rust bubbling through on the edges, so sanded it down, rust treated and a bit of black out of the can, had your voice in my head saying it’s gotta look pretty 😂
Hey bud thank you 👍 ah my T5 has corrosion in the exact same area I rust treated it but I do need to tackle it abit deeper soon. Haha 😂 I’m sure it looks fine 👍
Cracking job on a budget…..I squinted, couldn’t see an issue…..👍🇮🇲😜👌
Hey Andy haha 😂 brilliant thank you for the comment mate 🙏👍
zero budget resto, thank you very much top job Nathan😀
Thanks warren appreciate that mate 👍
Quality all round,best viewing for all on TH-cam in current climate of costs etc.Keep up the great work.👌👍
Hey Martin thank you super appreciate that mate 🙏👍
That's a massive improvement, you're great at what you do :)
Hey Jordan thank you sir really appreciate that 👍
I haven’t got a spray gun or a welder or a grinder… well I do 😂👍 Deadly
I cringed while editing that I was going to remove it but left it in, I sounded abit cocky and I don’t like that 🙈
I’m not sure what colour wire Nathan if you did get a minute to look let me know.. I just don’t want to mess it up as I have no clue..
I thought it was funny and if they can’t take a joke well tough luck 😀
That was a great save tho and looks a lot of work again fair play to you..
Nathan what a fantastic job done and that repair will probably outlast the entire van,even better on a zero budget !! What a first class friend and a top bloke you are 👏👍🛠️🔥
Hey Ian thank you I like to do my best nothing worse than a problem coming back and needing doing again so I go the extra mile first time to try and solve it.
Banging as usual nath can deffo see this having a full blow over… can’t see you letting big Andy’s van looking anything bit perfect in the end
Hey Michael thanks mate 👍 I have thought about a quick blow over for sure.
For a zero budget repair that finish is pukka 👌🏾 nice work as always 👍🏾
Hey scorcha thank you mate 🙏
Nice job mate. Andy is lucky to have you as a friend!!
Hey dicky thanks bud 👍
Nice repair DT, that smartens it up a treat. I did think "it will be no joke when you give that sill a poke" the holes a.eays come out bigger than expected
Hey Karter thank you mate and cor I’ve seen rusty holes grow but this one just kept on going I thought it might be the hole sill 😩
Loving the body work Nathan my sons Mk3 caddy must be one of those that doesn’t rust happy days for now 🤞gonna be no tradesmen like yourself left before long top job man 👍
Hey Tony thank you mate super appreciate the kind words 🙏 it’s only a handfull that do rust a large number of them don’t. I do wonder what’s happened with the rusty ones.
Nice work and great way you have broken it down to show how the repairs where done.
Hey Mike thank you 👍 I try to make the videos entertaining while explaining what’s going on, some people will already know but many don’t.
Andy is a lucky guy having a mate like you. Dam great job! It always amazes me rubbing down around rust spots and how the rust veins spread under what looks like OK paint.
Hey bud thank you 👍 yes rust does like to grow abit, once it gets in you need to make sure you get to fresh metal or it grows back fast. Hopefully we went far enough.
Sill repair excellent job, cheers Nathan have a good weekend, justice and peace
Hey simon thank you as always mate you have a great weekend to 🙏👍

Nice job Nathan , great to see your attention to detail on the suage line
Hi John thank you 👍 it would definitely bother me if I didn’t straighten it up.
Another brilliant video! Informative and interesting! I watched the whole 2k caddy resto series in a day today! Keep up the good work
Hey bud thank you glad your enjoying the channel and blimey there’s a few videos on my one I bet you where there a while 👍
Like the sill fabrication, looks tidy. Thank You
Hey bill thank you 👍 it was a simple design so thought I’d make it, transits have a very different style so I would have bought a replacement if that was the case.
Nice work mate for a zero-budget restoration looking good.
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Coming along nice , Andy must be happy , solid repair on the sill job done there .

Hey bud hopefully yours are ok, only a few seem to go there 👍
Good job buddy. Followed the channel for a fair while now. Very good at what you do. I specialise in Vivaro’s and traffics. Work never stops hey 😂
Hey bud thank you appreciate that, I like a Vivaro or traffic I like the shape 👌👍
What a difference already. Brilliant detail as always mate . Only problem with chasing rot it can soon escalate😢 job well done Nathan
Hey bud thank you 👍 your so right I’ve had many transits in my workshop over the years and the rust actually doesn’t stop sometimes 😩
@@YTDTETV oh yes transits are notorious for corrosion. Don’t think I’ve known any 1 that’s owned a transit to not have to have welding 🤦♂️
Nath, these videos are getting better and better 👍
Hey griff thank you mate really appreciate that 👍 I watch TH-cam of an evening and I take note on what other people record and how they edit and try to do similar with mine.

1000% better great episode 👏
Thanks James appreciate that mate 👍
Great job and video as usual looks mint get Andy to paint wheels black until he can get alloys etc
Hey Joey thank you and your spot on 👍 I was telling Andy earlier we need to black his wheels till we find a set 👍
Problem with the front wigs is that the wing stonegards rub on the inside of the wings . Over time the paint is rubbed off then in comes the rust. When you get the replacement wings a thick layer of brush on sealer where the stonegard makes contact with the wing. Problem solved . Hope this helps.
Hey Ron your so right it definitely wears it away, I’ll do that on the replacement wings for sure 👍
Takk!
Hey Francis thank you mate your to good to me I super appreciate it mate ❤️🙏👍
