Re: A Good Caddy
What an brilliant build you have done mate. Some
amazing work and skill as gone into upgrading it. I recently bought a caddy to transport my fishing tackle but it
is in need of a massive amount of work/modifying.

Re: A Good Caddy
Engine cover finished, haven't had time to install it yet. It took me ages to sand it smooth, I went through all the grits from 120 up to 1200. I didn't want to mess it up at the painting stage so I had the body shop paint and seal it for me. I painted the sound deadening foam underneath with some red paint to match the brake calipers.

Doing some work on the MK4 door cards now. I got some 3M 2080 MX12 Matrix Black vinyl wrap. I've covered the door handles, door trim plate for interior control and the small black door cover with it.

Re: A Good Caddy
Spent too much time reading your thread today. I've tinkered a tiny bit with my Maxi, touran bits etc, but your caddy looks mint. So many other great vans on this site, but love yours A lot of skill and dedication. Nice one

Re: A Good Caddy
Hi kneecap, thanks very much. I was only tinkering at the start to, so be careful
Hi Innes and thank you. No it doesn't, my OCD wouldn't let it happen . I got the VW badges from Travelinlite, I'm not sure about the size, they list them on the website by the year of your van. The R badges I got of ebay.

Hi caddy4mo,
Yes speakers and under-seat subwoofer installed. The speakers are a big improvement over the stock ones I took out but the subwoofer really makes a big difference. I am happy with the end result.

Re: A Good Caddy
I picked up a Ignition Key Bezel Light Ring, with big thanks to stan-the-man for the loom. This is the multi color Bezel Light Ring and with stan-the-man special loom it goes red when door is closed and turns white when unlock/ open the door, just like his footwell lights

Re: A Good Caddy
Just noticed your vinyl wrap. That is looking really smart.
