Looking good, I would defo be looking for a "Special colour!", You could carpet the rear, that just leaves the door shuts!

Don't get me wrong, its not too much extra work but it will kill me mentally.
I might have a little think about though

personally if it was mine i would do an off white creamy colour, someone on the TT-Forum did a lovely smooth euro look TT im sure it was a porsche colour IIRC

the colour is Turkis Green (Beige)

Its in rattle cans so good for diy. I'll get some more info for you

Thanks for that Matt, much appreciated dude.

Matt, I'm in tears here, I'm so flippin jealous of you, that is gonna be one superb wagon when your done.
You do realize the interior is gonna have to live up to the exterior here too!

How much do you reckon the conversion would cost the man on the street, payin full rate in a bodyshop plus parts to have the front converted to the Touran V2? (not a quote for work, I'm just curious.)

Thanks Doc.
As usual i probably wont have the funds to go mad with the interior but i already have some leather Touran door cards so i will have to swap the seats.
The rear of the van will be phase 2 once i've got the van on the road.

When the van is finished i am going to do an itemised list of part numbers and prices plus how much paint and labour to do the conversion so we can offer it as a service or at least you will know how much you would be looking to pay locally.
We are thinking of setting up "The Vw Caddy Shack" supplying parts, modifications, and maybe our own ready built vans to rival the Caddy Sportline.
Does anybody know if there is a "Caddy Shack" linked to the Volkswagen modifying scene

Matt,
Don't listen to them about the colour change. I think the van is gonna look awesome in the light blue with the V2 front end
Maybe it's just me, but that colour would even be near the top of my list for a colour change
