For the back of the van definitely use raptor bed liner so it will survive anything you have to throw at it. Looking forward to seeing what you do. Keep up the good work mate :)
That's the beauty of owning a VAG. Parts are nearly all bolt on. Those are same calipers as golf R, and therefore also fit the caddy.. Same would be of you wanted even bigger brakes and fit the VW Phaeton/ Audi A8 calipers.
Chris, the mods available for Caddys are endless but personally I think they look spot on with Bentley wheels and I would have to have a stereo installation of some description as it's something I love doing 🔊🔊🔊
depends how bad the rust is, if its just surface rust then sand it down, spray primer and then upto you if you want to paint it or cover it with carpet etc...
@@Josh_0579 trapping rust will create more moisture and make it worse to maybe even a hole in the floor, why not spend 5 mins and sand it down and spray primer.
Great video mate. I’m a modified Caddy owner - if you want a multifunction steering wheel to work it will have to be a VW one. Potentially will have to change the slip ring and the clocks too + coding. If you don’t need the buttons to work though any VAG steering wheel is bolt on 👍🏽
Deal with the rust, then use Protecta-kote bedliner paint, I'm a Window cleaner and carry loads of water around , that's what I have in the back of my van and it does the job.
The rust if it’s not too bad, sand it back.. add a rust protector cover.. if no actually holes just give it a good coat of primer and it’ll be sound.. unles you want it to be in colour then base coat it and clear coat it.
Mate get a vw sharan front end on it and front part interior for the carpets and nicer dash etc. fit the sharan seat bases then you can put all the newer gen vag seats in
Spray the floor with a heavy duty 2k paint. Hammerite is terrible nowadays and is purely sold for the DIY market. You could even use Upol Raptor for a textured finish.
I would love to see a full build series on the Caddy for a shop van now you’ve got the new work unit… there’s loads you can do with them. I’ve got a bit carried away with mine, fully custom with a R32 engine swap
Loving your videos as always mate! My heart tells me that this isn’t the best ‘base van’ to start turning into something cool so don’t let your heart rule your head…or something like that 😂
@@Chris_Slix well I will certainly be watching either way! Really pleased for You with everything you’re achieving, I wish I was as brave. You’ll never look back mate

Prime and paint the floor for longevity, the soundproof with waterproof covering so it can be jet washed. Great video and love the brake idea. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Or just leave it. Maybe I'm weird but I like a little surface rust on a shitbox especially when it's next to nice wheels on a slammed car

I’ve seen a few VW Caddy show vans and they sometimes have MK7.5 Golf R Steering wheels fitted which look mega.
I agree u could get a vw airbag
That gen of Caddy is the best looking,most reliable AKA the Diesels and i really love to see them tuned and modified!
Love the build Chris ;D

drove past ur aston this morning outside ur house looks stunning keep up the work man
Appreciate it!!
Put sound dentning on the floor.of the van and just make a flat floor that will be easier to use-work on...
I had a caddy a few years ago that had a golf gti flat bottom steering wheel, looked really nice 👌
great idea!
Loving this build so far Chris keep smashing it
Thanks man!

Almost fully caught up keep the content coming !!
You should get some black golf r wheels for the caddy and get some new front and back lights
For the back use the raptorlining stuff, its rugged and chemicals don’t affect it

Can’t wait to see what you do with this one 👍
@chris slix What year S3 did the brakes come off? They look like S3 8v in the video, but just checking! Thanks
2018 buddy 😊
@@Chris_Slix Thanks!
Spray the back with lizardskin paint! It's tough as old boots and looks great
Hello.
What size rims do you have if you fitted brake calipers from Audi S3 ?
What year was that Audi S3 ?
What size brake discs was in that Audi S3 ?
a mk7 gti wheel would look sick

2 channels needed on the floor to drain out leaks Hammerite floor
What year was the s3 that them brakes came from bud?
2018 I think
Did u use the s3 discs as well
Great video but hows the 1M clone?
Broken 🤣
🐐
Great Vid Chris - been thinking about getting a caddy to do up. What about Porsche brakes 🙈
They would fit!
👍
What year model Audi s3?
Mate those 135i wheels would look killa on the van, sorry but the gti wheels looks shit
Yeah definitely not my favourite wheels but for what i paid and when i needed a set of tyres they were a no brainer at the time 😄
Cheap caddy? When? 😂
Them wheels need to go 🤮🤮🤮
