Right… I actually was sitting waiting for this video to upload 😆. I was supposed to be at a meal with friends at 18:30… I told them I was going to be a little late 😂 And I have to say it was well worth the wait 😮 over and above any expectations I had 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I can’t thank you enough for taking my caddy on, especially as you know how needy I can be 😂 Can’t wait to see what surprises the next update brings 😃 Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
Hey Darren sorry for the delay mate, so glad you’re happy with the outcome. Always appreciate your input and support. Hopefully you’re happy with the next load of work. Thank you as always mate 🙏🙏
I can’t believe you left us on a cliff hanger!! What’s the new project!?!?!? Excited to see that! Your attention to detail is mega! If I ever have a chance to have you work on mine I’ll be a happy chap! As always enjoying the videos and looking forward to the next one! Cheers man!
Owner will be made up buddy outstanding job you have done there as usual attention to detail is fantastic you should be proud, c u at blue water in a couple of weeks 😊
Thank you for the video Nathan. Absolute perfection you achieved there mate 👌. Looking forward to the next video and the next project - ah ye. Have a great weekend 👍.
Mate, you know your stuff!!! Top class work. Bluewater boys have got it all sorted, mechanic, painter, detailer 👏👏👏 Also loved the European trip videos. See you at the next caddy meet. 👍👍
Nice mate, tastefully done and not to much bling, attention to detail is second to none, is there a place you recommend to get those marine grade stainless bolts
Thanks Jim 👍 I just buy random stuff like that off eBay, type 316 stainless bolts and look for the sizes you want. 50 of these counter sunk ones where £6 delivered 😊
Darren's van is looking nice, the work you've done has really made a difference. Great work. Fingers crossed the new project vehicle works out, Mk1 Caddy???
Pukka vlog as always. Great job on the edition 30. Your vans looking mint as well. Wish I still had my custom caddy. Just out of interest would you be able to machine Polish my latest project. I have a 500bhp golf r 7.5 estate. Kind regards Martin. Keep up the great vids
Hey Nathan, great work, a real show car! I really want to paint something on my car. It doesn't matter what and whether it makes sense, I'll start with the rusty trailer hitch. It's terrible, you've really infected me. "Some shiny black always look good". So true... Regards Greg
No need to squint, she's looking mint. Looks very nice Nath. Good work mate. Air box needs to be replaced with something none Factory maybe. Hope he's having red springs when you do the coil overs.
Makes me want a caddy!!!! But I have my t5, I want to put some arch trims on the t5 like you wish to do on your caddy and the white caddy has. But people comment say they hold/trap water and moisture accelerating rusty arches. Anyway to combat this Nathan? Another top video great attention to detail by yourself !
If water can drain out the bottom of the arch rather than being glued on all the way round then I think they would be ok, just tape or glue all the way round the side and leave the bottom with none on 👍 I think that should do it
I wished you lived closer, I could do with a perfectionist mechanic like yourself. Love watching your Vlogs, and again a stunning job. You should have your own show on @discoveychannel 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Nathan, you’re a true craftsman 👌🏽 👨🏼🎨 What an absolutely epic job! You should be really proud of the work you’ve done fella, you’ve outdone yourself here! 🚗 Also, new VeeDub project…? Yes please! 🤩
Thank you I really appreciate the kind words 🙏 it’s all I’ve ever done since leaving school and I still enjoy it, I still like the outcome of jobs. I have picked up the new project 😊
Ah… see I had mk4 lights but I seem to prefer these. Some people have described them as looking the same as a Toyota prius or an old Lexus😂 But I like them… and they do look better when they’re on.
Beautiful van great attention from detail from you and the owner. Manifold looks bit like a Japaneses style flag 😂 but super cool. Is the number plate individual letters or a plate?
Nathan excellent work. Wish you were here in Germany. You replaced Darren's Stainless Steel screws with those awesome new ones and the red washers. Please give me the link to them so I can try to get them here in Germany. Keep up the good work.
I'm moving back to the UK, just had to sell my Mk3 facelift seriously missing it. Love the VR6 conversion, prefer it to the 2.5 swap, does he have all the bits an pieces working eg air-conditioning etc correctly?
The are Vw touran mouldings 👍 some are one piece and smooth, the ones on this van are the better twin colour ones. I believe the black part is normally chrome
The engine mount bolts are torque to yeild bolts and should be replaced every time. Had to sort out quite a few where they have snapped due to being reused.
Hey bud I know they are a replacement bolt, I’ve never had one snap on me but I have seen others fail and I believe they wernt done up tight enough as I think they had been moving causing them to fail. I will mention this to the owner thow. Thanks bud 👍
This is an original caddy edition 30 from the factory... they only made 117 for the UK market. And now I'm putting my little touches to it, and as it's now got the 3.2 engine I thought I'd upgrade it to the edition 3.2 😀
I do carry the correct number plate that clips onto the grill just in case… to be honest, I don’t really drive it all that much only 3000 miles last year

Thanks mate appreciate that 👍 your half right on the guess
Great job Nathan. Looking forward to seeing the new project. I'm guessing caddy maxi 😂
Thanks mate and 😎
those cables are a royal pain. i bet you zip tied the connector together when you re-connected it. i know i did. van looks well tidy, great work

Thanks Greg appreciate that mate and yes a little bit of paint here and there makes a big difference 👍
No need to squint, she's looking mint. Looks very nice Nath. Good work mate. Air box needs to be replaced with something none Factory maybe. Hope he's having red springs when you do the coil overs.
Thanks David 👍 a nice intake would look good to appreciate that 👍
Now Nathan has done his work on the inlet manifold. I am leaning towards changing the air filter/box. I did like it looking standard at first.

Awesome van nice job Nathan
Thank you mate 👍
Nathan, you’re a true craftsman 👌🏽 👨🏼🎨

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words 🙏 it’s all I’ve ever done since leaving school and I still enjoy it, I still like the outcome of jobs. I have picked up the new project 😊
Very nice van that rear lights let it down thou
Cherry Red mk4's would look peachy! 🍑😍🍑
Ah… see I had mk4 lights but I seem to prefer these.
Some people have described them as looking the same as a Toyota prius or an old Lexus😂
But I like them… and they do look better when they’re on.
Looking perfect, Nathan sound job as always 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Sean 👍
What a van that is. 👍. Another top video from DTETV, keep them coming.
Thank you mate 👍
You done an awesome job love the look off the van
Thanks Nigel 👍
Love your work as ever - chrome will get you home has been added to my vocab you larry
Haha thanks mate 👍
Looks mint, no squinting..
Thanks plumpi 👍👍
No need to squint its mint, looks 100% 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Beautiful van great attention from detail from you and the owner. Manifold looks bit like a Japaneses style flag 😂 but super cool. Is the number plate individual letters or a plate?
Hi bud sorry for the delay yes the owner layed out a template and just stuck the letters and numbers on 👍
ooft quite the difference on that manifold eh! 😮
Top tier work as usual squire 👌 Whan varrryy niace engine bay!
ahh ye
Thank you mate 👍
Amazing job done as usual Nathan.
Thanks mate 👍
MINT 😊 great work sir
Thanks Andy 👍
What a difference.Fantastic!
Thanks Richard 👍
Lovely van. Not sure on the cargo Darren carries🐍 😂the bluewater meet is such a great bunch of guys. Might have to infiltrate in my transporter
Thanks bud haha I’m not the biggest fan of the cargo either. A few transporters turn up to the meet they just park a few rows behind 👍
Thank you.. and I’ll have to bring a couple of snakes along to one of the meets when the weather gets better
Looks very nice Nathan and Andy 👍
Thank you mate
Thanks Michael 👍
The tear lights are nice. Thats the point of modified vehicles, to be different not sheepy.
I thanks Justin I’m a fan of them to 👍
DTE top job Sir engine bay looking 10 .10 ahh yeah
Ah man thanks bud appreciate that 👍
You’ve done a cracking job, but for me the air box kills it, needs either painting,dipping or replacing with a induction system…thx for the content🫡
Hey Stevie thank you sir 👍 induction system would make the engine sound sweet to 👍
Gorgeous, but i think the origina mk4 rear lights would've looked better
3.2 Vr6 out of a mk4 golf iv got the exact same one same manifold n everything
Love the 32 edition we need more videos
Thanks mate 👍 I’ll try to get back to more videos again very soon 👍
Those cables for the bonnet release are a real pain, gone through 3 release handles on my caddy
Top job,that van looks the dogs!! Ah Yeah 🤙🏻
Thanks mate 👍
That engine cover looks really good wish I could do mine but mines a 1.6tdi so I think I will pass on that .... Still waiting for a TDI to tfsi video
Hey mark so a lot of the caddy boys paint there TDI covers in similar style and they look good. I want to do a tfsi swap to 👍
Nathan excellent work. Wish you were here in Germany.
You replaced Darren's Stainless Steel screws with those awesome new ones and the red washers. Please give me the link to them so I can try to get them here in Germany.
Keep up the good work.
Top class🤙
Thanks AK 👍

Amazing work and terrific video as usual. I’d love it if you could sort out my wonky bumper
Love it
Thanks bud 👍
Awesome van that,
Thank you 🙏🏻
🫡 top drawer sir 👏 🙌 👌 nice one Nath
Thanks Chris 👍
Mint!
Thanks mate 👍
where can i get hold of a set exactly like those edition 30 side trims from? great video again mate
Hey Andy I’m not sure on that one but I shal ask the owner 👍
Where did you get those door protector covers? in the black and white as they look super great. I'm looking to get in maxi form
The are Vw touran mouldings 👍 some are one piece and smooth, the ones on this van are the better twin colour ones. I believe the black part is normally chrome
You did a great jobb! 👍
Thanks mate 👍
V6: I'll bet that can boogie
Hey Ragnar it definitely gets a lick on 🙏👍👍
looking good as always top man give pup a pat for me
Hey bud thank you and will do 👍 I’ll get him in a video soon he’s grown loads 👍
Nice job DTE perfection once again 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
So Nathan, when are you going to put a 6 in your Caddy 😄👌🇦🇺
Hey bud I do need to put a fruity engine in a caddy very soon 👍
Sick 🔥
Thanks bud 👍
The engine mount bolts are torque to yeild bolts and should be replaced every time.

Hey bud I know they are a replacement bolt, I’ve never had one snap on me but I have seen others fail and I believe they wernt done up tight enough as I think they had been moving causing them to fail. I will mention this to the owner thow. Thanks bud 👍
it's a nice van for sure but I'm not getting the "edition 30" angle.... edition 30 was a special edition to mark 30 years of the Golf GTI
This is an original caddy edition 30 from the factory... they only made 117 for the UK market. And now I'm putting my little touches to it, and as it's now got the 3.2 engine I thought I'd upgrade it to the edition 3.2 😀
@@darranhughes1120 fair play, i stand corrected ... nice van.
@@iamyourfuture808haha cheers pal… I hadn’t heard of them before I started looking into buying a caddy.
Ah yeah 👍
Awesome job mate
Thanks bud 👍
Nice Job as always Sir. 👍
Thanks mate 🙏
very mad 3.2 V6 . i tried to put a 2ltr in a square vauxhall Nova it didnt happen .
People bought that polo front he show room they come like they standard 😂
Hope the new might be a van is a T4
Takk!
Thanks you so much Francis 🙏👍 my kids always mention you and say you a nice person. Really appreciate you sir 🫡
Is there any how to videos for that gti grill?
Top job sir
Thanks mate 👍
New VW is a Maxi. No doubt in my mind whatsoever.
😎
Ahhh yeahh
Thanks Kelly 🙏👍
would like to know how the owner gets on with coppers with the front 'plate' not having the reflective background
He’s had it on there a couple of years now and hasn’t been pulled 👍
I do carry the correct number plate that clips onto the grill just in case… to be honest, I don’t really drive it all that much only 3000 miles last year
What is it a vw cady with a golf front
Yeah… it’s a VW Caddy but the front bumper is a hybrid between the original caddy and golf GTi mk7.5 moulded together.
hi where did you get the radiator water bottles cap
eBay.. they’re not that expensive
What did you do? Rubbed the end of his head or something? Always going above and beyond for your customers 😂
Haha hey B-RY soon as I said it I had to elaborate 😆
What does DTE stand for?
Dob Tech Engineering
D can you lend me some dosh so I can have a v6 in mine pls 😂
Haha ye sure swing by mate 👍 I wouldn’t mind a sugar daddy to buy me some projects to 😊
🤌👌👍
Thanks Scott 👍
Pop the engine 😂brilliant bro think am just stoned wasn’t even that funny 😆 👀.
