@ CaddyChris
Mate some serious hard yards, long hours, dedicated work and thought gone into all the mods n custom fitout you've done and the quality of the finish looks astounding
VW might be knocking on ya door to get you to do custom fab for them πŸ˜‰
I don't know whether it sounds as good as it looks or looks as good as it sounds
Either way, top work there lad πŸ”ŠπŸ”ŠπŸ”Š

ps the driver's rear custom speaker looks like ying n yang ☯️

Thanks buddy!
You are right! Normally I dont compare what I have done, or Im usually proud of my achievements. On this forum though we have got some seriously impressive builds and builders. New to VW and Caddy, I realize I have loads to learn. But that is part of the fun!

Thanks man! Considering the general standard of van we have on here, that's incredibly high praise!

It's not a TV though. It's a projector screen which can be stowed away (either rolled up whilst hanging or taken down completely and stored under the bench seat). You can see the tiny little projector mounted to the ceiling on a magnetic mount, just in the foreground. I did think about a 12v TV but space is at a premium really and I didn't want a TV floating around on an arm, just in case it came loose and smashed which I was driving. Plus, it would be another thing to power, whereas the projector can be charged from a USB port and has wifi/bluetooth etc. so I can connect to my Plex server to watch films/TV or Youtube etc. It also has an HDMI in, so I could connect it directly to my laptop if needed. And it can all be taken down in a couple of minutes, so it's really a portable solution.

Ah, sorry chaps, I'm afraid to say the lego van isn't real :(. It's an image created by the Bing AI image generator. I'd love it if they actually made one!

Not today but last thing I did was start my engine conversion
Taking a 2 ltr 140 out of a touran to replace my blown bls :mad:
When it's done can continue to make a mtb van out of it
