You kept saying you don't know what you're doing, but you're doing an awesome job.. I have a bare metal Caddy and am truly clueless but your videos have taught me so much already. New subscriber. I'm actually shocked you haven't got more subscribers, yours are some of the best amateur Caddy videos on TH-cam. I'm not going to watch a Dan Chambers video as a novice and be able to use it as a tutorial, but these are follow able. Top work!
Check your rear doors on the inside, there is always water ingress from the outside. (Lock, windscreen wipers, etc.) That's why there are holes at the bottom that the water can drain off. You've blocked the path with insulating material and the trapped water is causing corrosion. Affects all doors.
How do you do that Darren ? Balance that basketball on those shoulders 😄 Brilliant video mate I'm doing same to my caddy too, just for spending odd night sleeping I'm back . All the best my man. Cheers
Have a look for a maypole awning light - work great as a task light when working in the van, rechargeable, two light modes and magnetic mount. Also the strip light cob led rechargeable head torches are also a game changer
nice job there, reckon you couldve benefitted from some more thermal insulation taped to the roof, since the roof liner leaves a big old gapit could help fill, but good work
It is a ball ache but something very satisfying afterwards but looking sweet so far mate will be a nice little van when done! Look up a channel called Dan Chambers on you tube he recently did caddy came out very nice! Defo up for a sticker for my slow van! Haha
Nice work Darren, I feel your pain. I’ve done a couple. I must have missed some vids, what did you do with your transporter? Keep up the vids, they’re great!
It's a nightmare but the rewards are worth it! Me being a decorator i have pieced mine on! Didnt do full pieces just spliced together! Can't see the join!😍👍
@@tubedarren just ordered one of your stickers they look cool. I'll send one of mine to you free of charge if you like, just email your details no problem 👍👍
Another great job mate how’s ya knees :) I covered my roof lining with a kids bed sheet:) I got stars, you could get marvel, Batman, peppa pig whatever you like 👍🏻

I totally agree 👍
Cracking job with an honest, hardworking opinion as to what to expect if you're gonna do it yourself - great film work too 👍

So what do you do not insulate the doors?
I really enjoyed how you did it anyway whilst not enjoying it !
The power of determination!
Professional 👍🔥
Great job mate, enjoyed watching your video. Going to do the same with my berlingo van 👍
Vans looking good.
Cheers Martin getting there! 😅
The rest is perfect
How do you do that Darren ?
Balance that basketball on those shoulders 😄

Totally right mate absolute ball ache haha but well worth it in the end. Okay cheers and got plenty of stickers available for slow vans 😆😎👍
Hi mate. Was 5x2m enough carpet. Thank you!
Where did you buy the sound deadening sheets from?
Nice work Darren, I feel your pain. I’ve done a couple.
I must have missed some vids, what did you do with your transporter?
Keep up the vids, they’re great!
Thanks Ian and yes it is, gets a bit monotonous after a while 😅 I sold that T5 end of 2020, was good fun though enjoyed my time with that van. 👍😎
@@tubedarren loved the Europe adventure! 👍
Damn it mate - want another T6 soooo bad.
Go for it man 👍😎 especially if you like hard work haha!
Tip on getting the holes flat; use a countersink drill bit. Takes 2 secs and keeps it nice and even.
Hey mate thanks which holes we talking about?!😅
or use a hammer, job done in a tap or two.
Did you use smoke or graphite? 4 way stretch
Looks ace
Hi mate how much thermowrap did you use cheers
It's a nightmare but the rewards are worth it! Me being a decorator i have pieced mine on! Didnt do full pieces just spliced together! Can't see the join!😍👍
Well done mate I’m sure you can help me on the next one then 😅🤞🏼

Haha I’ve had a few days to recover 😅 sounds creative that mate, might Chuck some peppa pig up there 😂👍
Where location buzzer sensor caddy tdi 2018 thanks
Is it warm enough mate?
Hi Fin for overnight use it was, did some camping in the summer was fine 👍
How long did sides of van take to carpet , gotta do mine and never done it before 🙈
Takes bout 8 hours to carpet!!
I am just about to insulate my T6. Now I don’t feel like doing it… 😩😩😁
Hahah sorry Ed didn’t wanna put anyone off 😭😂
For the odd shapes use cardboard and make a template
Should have drilled the whole out with a small step bitt then tape no Need to file and ruin the side of the wheel arch
Ruin? It’s covered 😆👍
Looking very good but I think carpeting looks a nightmare of a job to do
Thanks David, I won’t be doing it again that’s for sure haha 😅
At least it wasn’t raining 🌧
Very true dude 😅😎👍
