Started putting everything back together at the front of the caddy. I thought I would carpet the parcel shelf to better blend in with the back of the van once I finish that too, and to make the surface less reflective for sound quality purposes.
The 4 way stretch carpet did the trick very nicely.
I also put back the A piller trim after doing this and wow, I can see why others say they hate doing that too. You need to fit it into the bottom slots, align all the white press fit slots and get it around the rubber door trim and under the overlapping rubber. Took me ages on the passenger side, and then the drivers side was much quicker as I found a slight trick to installing it.

Maaad work mangrovejack.
I still have the floor to do with sound dampening material. Still trying to find out if Mk V GTI seats bolt in to the factory locations… then, perfect excuse to complete the sound dampening chore.

Don't you hate it when someone starts a build thread and never comes back to finish it? Yeah me too, so I'm going to be updating what's been happening the last few months shortly.
As I alluded to in an earlier post, last year we were selling our house and moving from Canberra to Brisbane, so between all that I didn't have much more time to work on the Caddy unfortunately, so things are going a little slow as I'm currently renovating some houses.

I neglected to mention, before the previous stuff was done, all the wiring was done too. Most end up underneath the passenger (left) side seat as that is where all the electrical terminates.

Small update, installed new sound deadening on the scuttle panel. As most know they start going soft and deteriorate with age, this was cheap enough even with shipping from Europe.
