We Build a CUSTOM TAILGATE for Our MK1 Caddy!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 เม.ย. 2020
- Instead of spending hours restoring it, we decided to ditch our battered, original Volkswagen MK1 Caddy tailgate and try to fabricate a custom tailgate, completely from scratch!
To do this project we'll be using our SwiftCut CNC plasma table and Promecam 50 tonne press brake, along with some other tools...

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.

@@RotboxMetalworks , I hope you feel well ?! Would it be possible to order an individual lettering for the tailgate of the Caddy ???

No plans to put it on the website, it took ages to do and we want it to be a one off 🙂
Fabrication skills on point beautiful work, but I wish y’all videos had some kind of Commentation. The video gets boring with just the elevator music
