- we are moving on to the inside of the T5 build series and I’m going to paint the lower half of the dash as the light great colour is abit dull, I get into what’s needed to carry out the job and an explanation as to what’s going on.

you might not have his budget , but you have forgotten more about mechanic'ing this week than his entire team will ever know.....plus you are not annoying 😃
Yep can’t watch Matt anymore he progressively gets more annoying as the years pass.
Hey Ed thank you 🙏 really appreciate the kind words. I have to be honest I don’t even watch his videos I just see them pop up and loads of people ask if I watch him. I enjoy watching more real life TH-camrs with a reasonable budget rather than just throwing thousands at stuff. Maybe I’m a little jealous 🤷 don’t know I don’t think I want to be that big as I wouldn’t be able to reply to all you guys in the comments it would be overwhelming. Either way thank you 👍
Ive only seen a few minutes of one video but a lot of people ask me if I watch him, the cars and numbers ££ are just ridiculous. I’ll stick with my budget stuff 👍👍
I’ve also pinned this to the top as I’m blown away by your kind words mate 👍
Yup. Matt is a bit hard to watch...
So bloody good to find a DIY vid without an american accent. Great vid.
Thanks mate appreciate that 👍
The commentary is spot on 🤣 - great videos, keep it up!
Thanks mate appreciate that 👍👍
nice one mate top job as ever nathan
Great finished look 👍
Thanks Clive appreciate that mate 👍
Mate your absolutely smashing it, iv watched alot of the matt armstrong stuff content is good but like you say its unrelatable, iv started doing bits on my focus, inspirational mate top work.
Hey bud thank you I super appreciate that 👍 I do my best with what I can afford, I’ve watched a few TH-camrs go from zero to hero and the content changes. If I even make it big I’ll stay the same I promise but I will treat my caddy and T5 to some nicer wheels 😂👍
Your content is brilliant. I learnt a lot, I must say. Keep um coming mate.
Wow that has made a huge difference, looking great.
Thank you sir appreciate that 👍
My biggest bug bear with van’s is when they have a light Gray colour for trim. They look awesome
Hey Conrad I agree 👍 my caddy and the T5 had the same horrible trim, it had to go. Thanks mate appreciate that
Nathan is back on his feet and rules TH-cam ❤❤
Hey francis ah ye 🤙 I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again DTE is just 3 letters without followers like you so thank you for supporting me ❤️🙏👍

Hey plumpi thank you mate 👍 I’ve just been been notified by the mrs I didn’t put a picture up of the paint, RAL 7024 with extra black. Easy enough good paint shops can make it up in rattle can form to 👍
Looking good!
Thanks bill 👍
Always great videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Hey Ragnar thank you for always taking the time to comment mate I do really appreciate your kind words 🙏👍👍
@@YTDTETV not a problem I alway enjoy your videos.
Looks great that pal 👍
Thank you mate 👍 appreciate the comment
Banging dobbo looks sweet ❤
Thank you mate appreciate that 🙏
Keep em comin nathan👍
That’s a nice finish having it all the same colour Nathan.
Thanks Michael 👍
Absolutely spanking video Nathan helpful and informative as ever my guy. Bit of old school micky bumba clart finn for me fella. Keep doing what your doing mate the videos are sick stay blessed brother.
Hey David thank you mate 👍 yes that tape hanging out the tape deck is exactly that, I don’t listen all the time just now and again, appreciate the comment 🙏
Been lookin forward to this 👍
Thanks Dave appreciate that mate 👍
I just finished carpet lining and then carpeting the ply done the roof too all sound proofing and insulating makes a huge difference.
My floor is 12mm ply with 3mm insulation and 3mm rubber top matting.
I got transit triple seat in the 3rd row and transit double seat in the 2nd row
With the drivers and the double passenger seat I now got 8 seats all with belts etc. I’ll inbox you some pics
Hey bud that sounds good similar setup to what I’m planing just with one row of seats 👍 I’ll check out your pictures.
👍looks loads better
Thanks mate 🙏👍 I see your video about airbrushing a dog the other day that was absolutely brilliant, my kids come and terrorised me right at the end so didn’t get a chance to comment. I’ll comment on the next ones 👍
@@YTDTETV 👍
End result looks fantastic, when you fitted the passenger side pieces you did paint the little rectangle piece but didn't paint the long airbag cover strip, that's why there was a slight colour difference, van is really coming on now.
Hey Colin your right I should have put abit of colour on that, I have paint left for the roof pieces so will prob put some on it then. Thanks mate 👍
As always you have the eagle eye Nathan , looks good can't remember if the steering wheel was golf mk5 ? No a/c on mine and manual windows but as is life .
Looks nice that dash Nathan all one colour
Thanks David I’m happy with it, I’ve used to colour a few times and seems to match up close enough 👍
Nice job . 👍 Tony Laroni would be proud for sure. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha yes Phillip 😂 thanks mate 👍
like it👌
Looking great 👍 also sent a donation over
Hey bud I received that thank you so much 👍 I really appreciate it 🙏
Takk!
You should try carpet on them. I did mine with with vinyl leather.
Love your transporter series!
Would be great to retrofit the multivan/caravelle dash into one of these and install a nice android screen in there too. Plenty of kits available on the market.
And the next mod after that - 3D ColorMFD!
A ye!
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes your right they are a nicer dash, I have a company wanting to send me android stereos to try so I’ll make a wee video on that if it happens. Oh man I’ve seen those colour inserts for the clocks 👍 I’m on there page on FB and I have even messaged them, price is not bad at all but I don’t know if I have to soldering skills to fit it.
oi oi .......dig out those rave tape packs , Jungel Fever,Roast,One Nation ,Helter Skelter to name a few..
Yes Dave 🤙 that is the era I can listen to the newer stuff really don’t do it for me. Ah ye 👍👍
Really inspirational these vids, any chance of a "how to set up a spray gun" I've never had much joy with that dark art!!!!
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍 do you watch the bodywork videos I do? If so I’ll go over setting up paint guns in the next one 👍
Love this idea of painting the lighter grey. Fantastic job done well. Do you think I can get the same affect with rattle can? As I don't have a sprayer.
Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes for sure, you would need to go to and car shop that sells spray paints and look for one that is close enough to what it needs to be, could even take a small piece of trim with you to try and match it up. Some paint places can make any colour into a spray can maybe a Google search or phone around. Just clean the hell out of them with a degreaser I guess even washing up liquid is a degreaser and a red scotch pad and they clean and prep the plastic. Then get a tin of the plastic primer I showed in the video and give them a really thin light coat. Then with the paint just really thin light dusty coats to colour them up and your done 👍
👌
Thanks mate 👍
i'm not a liar, i just weren't thinking 😂 i'm using that one
Haha I do waffle on sometimes 😂
What colour spray do you use to paint and match all the plastics.
Great video. But what kind of hradner did you use on the paint? Is it special for plastic ore only first spray coat is for plastic. I have light gray and it get so fast dirty.
Hey bud thank you 👍 the hardener is just any HS paint hardener and all it does it gives the base coat abit of flexibility and durability. My pained bits are very similar to oe ones to touch and feel so shouldn’t catch dirt. I’ll up load a video short on here tomorrow explaining what I used and why 👍
How easy was it to get door cards off? Struggling with mine on the caddy mate.
Great video mate, is it straight base coat or have you diluted it with thinners?
A splash of thinners just so it comes out nice and not stodgy, the RAL colour is 7024 with a little more black in and I add a splash of hardener to make the base coat more durable 👍 thank you
👍
Thanks ghetto 👍👍
👌👍👍 Sorted
Thanks again Archie 👍👍
Nice! Can you do mine too if I remove all the parts?!!! 😮
That looks great. Did i hear right, you sprayed them with basecoat only? No lacquer?
Ive used thinned raptor, sprayed smooth with my 1.3mm devilbiss before and it held up beautifully for years, but the sheen was always a bit more than OEM. Yours looks much better
Thank you 👍 yep no lacquer just a tiny bit of any hardener in with the base coat to give the paint a slight bit of flexibility and it lasts very well. That’s a good idea of thinned down raptor 👍👍
@@YTDTETV I've gotta try that! 👌👌
@@bespokedfurniture I’m literally as we speak doing the sunvisors and grab handles for next weeks video so you’ll see how they come out to 👍
@YTDTETV sweet 👌 just watched the wing mirror installation vid 👊
@@bespokedfurniture awesome thanks 🙏 👍
What is the type of that paint? Two component car paint? Is it matt paint or half matt? Great build series by the way 😀
Hi bud it’s a single stage base coat, base coat dries Matt, I added a drop of hardener to give the base coat abit of flexibility. Thank you appreciate that 👍
@@YTDTETV Okay and thanks for the info. And greetings from Finland 👍
@@samituomisto106 no problem shout out to 🇫🇮 👍👍
Looking for a set of rear shocks for a mk4 caddy that is lowered the standard ones are bottoming out has anyone got any suggestions for shocks they are using
Have you cut the bump stops down? I’ve lowered a caddy on standard shocks before with no issues, also the exhaust hits the axle sometimes when lowered
@@YTDTETV have the bump stops cut I had shorter shocks in but the bushes were falling out so I put in standerd shocks in and now it’s banging when going over bumps
@@potbell1 I wonder if it’s the exhaust hitting on the axle as I had that issue on one I lowered
@@YTDTETV I’ll have a look tomorrow and see
6 speed conversion???
Mines still only 5 speed and still going strong, if it ever fails I’ll do a 6 speed then 👍
Ah yeah
Thanks peerless 👍👍
You not bothered about removing the bulk head lip?
Hey James you have a keen eye sir 👍 yes I’ve looked at it multiple times 😂 when I do the rest of the inside I’ll pull all the seats and B pillar trims off and get the belt sander out to remove them 👍
@@YTDTETV 😂😂 only because I’ve done mine. It definitely looks cleaner without it.
@@jamesibbo1 haha I said in my head a few times I’ll do it now then I look at all the welds and say I’ll do that another day 😂
@@YTDTETV only an hours work for a man of your caliber
What was the RAL color code? He forgot to add a picture
I believe its RAL 7024
Sorry bud 7024 👍
Spot on Ben 👍
like it👌
