  • 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.
    What kind of cars do we build? We mainly work on modern classic cars (anything 80s- early 90s) and right now we're restoring and modifying a VW MK1 caddy pickup #thatslammedcaddy
    We're down for anything metalworking related and always love to hear your suggestions for what DIY project we should take on next in the comments!
