FULL TRANSFORMATION ON MY VOLKSWAGEN CADDY INTERIOR

In this video we attempt to take on the huge task of overhauling the #vw #volkswagen #caddy interior.
there is so much to do inside this van but the first steps were insulating the van to make it warmer and more comfortable (this also gives it more usability if I do decide to go down the Campervan route). then trimming all the van in Alcantara along with a new headlining and much more!

Fantastic job. I have the same van and dog fyi. I love the way you showed the issues you came across along the way. I am just starting this process. The road noise is doing my head in. I love the black. ✅

[@helenandadrian6765]

I have worked with material nearly all my life, but I can't tell you how many times I have cut or fixed a piece the wrong way round - you are not alone!

[@CarChris82]

smashing it mate the van is taking shape and looking sick looking forward to the next one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

[@DarlyB]

Great looking interior. Get my van in the coming week, nice heads up about the alcantara will look in to that.

top effort Chris lad, looks boss, again brilliant narration and comedy, your a natural 🤟🤟👌👌💪💪❤️

[@Jdownesuk]

Great video & content. Looking forward to the next video

[@21callum21]

One tip I've learnt about adding the panels over carpeted areas, use a soldering iron on the original panel before carpeting it to create the holes needed for the clips. Worked an absolute treat for me!

[@Chris_Slix]

thanks!

[@1976deleukste]

i"ve got the same caddy just the extended version drives like shit but still get the job done. love what you did with it

[@Allysmountainwalks6462]

Hi Chris enjoyed watching the video brought back memories i just finished fully converting my caddy maxi. love the ceiling would have loved to do the same but got the pop-top now, the Alcantara material looks cracking sets it off. ATB Ally 👍

Question for you would you drill roof board first then glue alcentara then use like a darning needle to push through material if you did this again and where did you purchase the fibre optic kit thanks in advance

[@gothikia]

Hey mate, top job! How is it with heat retention now?

[@karlburnett7847]

What wires were you using to tap into the lights? Currently got led downlights ready to fit but wanted to run it off the switch like standard

[@barryjones6214]

Looking good pal don’t know if u did it off cam but just done the same With my caddy and behind the seats in what would of been the rear footwells is worth sound deadening as I noticed a massive improvement in that area for road. Noise

[@Chris_Slix]

I didn't but I will make sure I do when I get a chance!

[@griffogriff9532]

Awesome, coming together well, any left for the cab doors?

[@Chris_Slix]

Yes luckily I will get it done when I get time!

[@wagonman63]

You should have drilled the holes in the wood before you covered it then just used a sharp Bradle or similar just to punch a small hole in the material. Do you have a link for the fibre lights mate?

[@Chris_Slix]

I did try this on another piece and it doesn't work as the when you try to pierce the hole it separated the fabric from the wood. The links in the description buddy.

[@gazbuck1661]

Great VT 👊🏼 did you run the starlight’s from the existing headliner factory light? If so, is it possible to do this with LED downlighting spots? Cheers

[@wild_childofthe80s]

It is yes :) x x

Wood laminate would look 👌 on the floor, when it comes to replacing the shagpile

[@Chris_Slix]

True but carpet is more sound deadened and warmer 😊 maybe wood in the summer 🤣

Maybe one day Steve!

[@soulofjo]

A question: if a van is only used in warm summer days, do you think the insulation is important then?

[@dominicfoxwell1996]

It can work the other way and keep it cool during the summer

[@Raiderofthelostloam]

How much material did you use thinking of swapping mine out

[@Chris_Slix]

I ordered 11m but have plenty leftover

DODO MAT is for sound deadening *NOT* insulation 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m sure DODO-MAT will appreciate the sale also you’re wallet won’t be thanking you for the _New_ MPG you’ll be getting We live and we learn ✌🏼💚🏁🚛💨💨

You might want to check out the dodo mat thermo fleece i was fitting throughout the video buddy! 😊 its great.

@@Chris_Slix was too busy typing lol ,, *SO* seems that DODO-MAT has branched out into heat insulation as well then 🤦🏻‍♂️😂✌🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@samserious1337]

@@Chris_Slix Where? In the doors? The doors should NOT be getting insulated inside, but this is useless anyway, since the other 95% of the van are only matted with sound deadening material instead of insulation.

[@frazzle657]

The mistake 😂 not the first person to do that and won't be the last.

[@chrishamilton2527]

Gave up watching - this is only a half job. You’ve installed sound deadening but nothing on the roof! You’ve completely overlooked proper thermal deadening. I hope other people don’t follow your system. You are going to end up with hidden condensation behind the panels and that will also lead to mould. Sorry, but you’ve done a very poor job.
