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 🙏🙏
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 👍.
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.
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
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???
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.
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. 👍👍
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!
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 😊
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 👏👏👏👏👏👌
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
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
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.
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 😊
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 👍
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?
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?
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 😀
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
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
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 😂

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 🙏🙏
That Caddy is lush 😍, what a fantastic job you have done, bet the owner is over the moon with it. Can't wait to see the new project argh yea
Thanks Andy mate appreciate that 👍
Love the way the reg digits have been stuck straight onto the bumper, am stealing that idea 😁
Looks good don’t it 👍 obviously has to be done on a white van and the owner hasn’t been pulled yet.
@@YTDTETVyet 😊

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.
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
Thanks Greg appreciate that mate and yes a little bit of paint here and there makes a big difference 👍
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???

Thanks Graham 👍
I am… he’s over delivered as usual 😁
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.
No need to squint its mint, looks 100% 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Looks very nice Nathan and Andy 👍

Cheers man!
2 words dude O YER ❤AWESOME JOB❤
Thanks Darren 👍
Lovely detail mate
Thanks bazza 👍
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 👍
loving this, and yours
Thanks bill 👍
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! 🚗

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 👍
that caddy is sick
I'd be over the moon if that was work on my van 👌👌👌
Thanks Matt 👍
I am 😁

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
Great work m8 just got urself a new sub keep up the great work
Awesome van that,
Thank you 🙏🏻
MINT 😊 great work sir
Thanks Andy 👍
Those cables for the bonnet release are a real pain, gone through 3 release handles on my caddy
luv seeing a master at work top job
Thanks Ian 👍
DTE top job Sir engine bay looking 10 .10 ahh yeah
Ah man thanks bud appreciate that 👍
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 👍
You did a great jobb! 👍
Thanks mate 👍
Amazing work and terrific video as usual. I’d love it if you could sort out my wonky bumper
Gorgeous, but i think the origina mk4 rear lights would've looked better
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.

Nice job DTE perfection once again 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
3.2 Vr6 out of a mk4 golf iv got the exact same one same manifold n everything
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 👍
Awesome job mate
Thanks bud 👍
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 👍
V6: I'll bet that can boogie
Hey Ragnar it definitely gets a lick on 🙏👍👍
Mint!
Thanks mate 👍
🫡 top drawer sir 👏 🙌 👌 nice one Nath
Thanks Chris 👍
very mad 3.2 V6 . i tried to put a 2ltr in a square vauxhall Nova it didnt happen .
Ah yeah 👍
People bought that polo front he show room they come like they standard 😂
Takk!
Thanks you so much Francis 🙏👍 my kids always mention you and say you a nice person. Really appreciate you sir 🫡
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?
Hi mate… everything works as it should 😊
Top job sir
Thanks mate 👍
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.
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 👍
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
Hope the new might be a van is a T4
Is there any how to videos for that gti grill?
New VW is a Maxi. No doubt in my mind whatsoever.
😎
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 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 😆
Ahhh yeahh
Thanks Kelly 🙏👍
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 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 😆 👀.
Haha that’s all good bro 😎 if it gave you a giggle I done something right 👍👍
@@YTDTETV was funny bro lol not being a dick Iv just wierd sense of humour probably just stoner mind lol 😂 respect to ya bro
Ahhhh yeah.... Good job as usual Nath..

Thanks Darren 👍👍
