Recently picked up a blue 2014 1.6tdi 102 Highline to use for mountain biking and possibly some camper duties.
First time caddy, van, and camper owner so learning as I go!

How it looked when I got my hands on it

Image

First few things planned are:

Bulkhead removal
Strip out old ply lining
Insulate
Led lighting
Carpet

Looks like a nice example!

Ive camped in mine a few times with the mrs, its tight! Ive got to sleep on an angle and im only 6ft. Cozy is the best way to describe!

Looking forward to seeing your build.

Removed all the Ply and panels. Headliner is out. Bulkhead is out, and ready to mod to use as side trims.
Removed the old bumper protector, which was a right pain! Managed to get it off with a bit of heat, and then spent hours removing all the adhesive off the bumper!

Cheers Tweedy! Nice thread you’ve got yourself!

Insulation is in! both sides, floor and roof all done. Not exactly pretty but it’s all all going to be covered with ply/headlining.

Also got 6 LED spots fitted into the headlining, so I can actually see what I’m doing!

Image

Which will be operated by this little switch panel

Current State of the rear.

Need to get some carpet ordered, thinking of the mega van mats Pacific Blue.

Carpet is in! Driver side wheel arch isn’t boxed in as it will all be covered with the bed. Had a couple of boxes of laminate left from the house, so made use of it for the floor.

Looks really good. Nice work.
Done something similar to mine already. Just looking for a Rock'N'Roll bed for the rear now.

Done mine the other way round, it’s a cool look. We are rocking the two tone.
