Loving the job you have done on the inside of the van!

See you have insulated the roof, do your lights not get the insulation hot?

Smart Looking Van!! I have a similar van to yours, im thinking of sticking with the white and getting everything colour coded also. Plus saves a heck of a lot on a respray. I think the manufacturer's spoiler would make it look better, you planning on removing the rear wiper? How easy is the slip ring module to get hold of, i have a 2014 caddy and want to add an mf steering wheel.

I had to fit the gti gaiter to the caddy plastic surround with a staple gun, then cut the gear stick/shaft right down to allow the smaller gti gaiter to have enough slack to select all the gears, I then used a small grub screw to hold the knob in placeImageImageImage
Next up I fitted the steering wheel and high line slip ring/control module and coded in the buttons to work with the mfd (soon to be changed for highline clocks), both these make such a difference to the feel of the cabin Image

Those seats look very nice, I was thinking off adding some Audi A1 seats, but I think I may of changed my mind :)

Great inspiration, bought my first Caddy on Friday. Was looking for another a colour, but went for a clean white one, on with the mods!

Really nice build you've got going here Tom.
Nice to see a build going at a normal pace. Sometimes I feel builds on forums go at a thousand miles an hour to get them ready for a show. Nice to see a bit of realism on how your working. Is it hard to carpet the back of the van like you've done?


Keep it up, Joe :)

Thanks guys really appreciate it! Image Joe, the carpeting is actually really quite easy to be honest mate, the carpet is very stretchy and forgiving so long as you don't glue to big of an area at a time, just make sure you cut it plenty long enough and take your timeImage haven't really done anything significant on the van as the weathers perked up iv been out enjoying the bike a lot more, did give her abit of loving with a service though and will treat her to a cambelt soon.

Thanks for the reply Tom!

Glad to hear it's not too difficult, and the finish looks really quiet professional. Also like the steering wheel modification you've done! Good inspiration. Keep it up.
