Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Oh and my GTI gear knob turned up so put that on. Desperately need some Toran door cards as these stand out with the trim painted!
Also pick up the Toran centre console with armrest on Monday so will be scraping my knuckles with that later in the week.
Updates will slow down now had to get it all out my system lol.
Today's plans are same as yesterday but drivers side trim and seat.

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Vans looking good mate. Where is the handbrake lever cover from?
I’ve only had my Caddy about a month and it’s only had a quick clean so I need to give it the same treatment you have!

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Cheers, taking up all my time tho! I got the handbrake and gear gaitor covers from eBay. Was going for a golf gti themed interior appart from seats as too expensive at the moment!Nolly wrote:Vans looking good mate. Where is the handbrake lever cover from?

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
So drivers seat is out, this is what I mean by the seatbelt buckle needing modification.
Also got all the drivers side trim out and thought is do both a pillars aswell, hope I don't run out of paint! Think I found the last of the smell so fingers crossed.

Few pics of how to modify the seatbelt buckles if you ever come across this problem.

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
So after hours of fettling managed to get the drives seat in
Got most the plastic painted but ran out of paint as I guessed so will have to finish those bits in the week with the bulkhead side pieces I trimmed away. Checky pic of the old man's T5 as this is camper orientated 🖒

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
All in all a productive day, few pics of the seats fixed in and freshly painted plastic trims. Just the last few bits to do when more paint arrives.
Quick question, I don't have full access yet and was wondering if the Toran wing mirrors fit. Don't mind if a bit of modification is required?

Looking good. I like the plastic colourings, nice cheap mod. Yeah, Touran mirrors fit, never fitted them myself but numerous have on here with a little modification required.

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Great mods so far, love the black spray!
The previous owner of mine kept a cat in it, I'm still finding fur balls so know how you feel (the smell of mine is more ammonia though )
You need to plastic weld the touran mirrors to caddy bases.

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Wow, that has to be worse! Hate that ammonia smell, I literally went through a bottle of fabreeze when I picked it up was horrific. That sounds like a project to get involved withMk2kompressor wrote:Great mods so far, love the black spray!

Re: My Silver Caddy Day Van Project
Had a few hours spare after work today so made a start on the insulation, there was a lot of swearing but got the top half of the drivers side done. Filled all the other holes in the van with insulation and covered over with the stupid silver tape that takes 3 hours each piece to peel off the backing tape
