[@jimstar7692]

Thank you for the nice feed back on the masking 🫡 nothing but love. Anytime.

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Jimbo - you deserve an award, here is one - awesome human beings make the world great

[@christinamacintyre9972]

You need to make one up for your partner like that - would be a perfect dog walking wagon - look re professional

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Nathan - if you find edging trim for around the window - can you let me know as i need that and cant find it anywhere.. been looking for the last 2 years

[@YTDTETV]

Hey jimbo thanks again mate 🙏 muchly appreciated 👍

[@YTDTETV]

The mrs half likes a maxi but she prefers the smaller caddy, only problem with the smaller daddy is no windows in the back for the kids. Would make a perfect dog van thow your so right, maybe a Touran is the ideal one 👍

[@m3_cs620]

Great series on this one, you should do a similar build and raffle it to give the viewers a chance to win for a few quid!

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud just have been thinking about something like that, really good idea appreciate the thought thank you 👍👍

Absolutely stunning.

[@ChrisElliott-ob6yi]

Just a genius , what a finish and silver especially is a hard colour to do !! Top marks Nathan just brilliant Looking forward to meeting you and Andy again at next blue water meet , all the best 😊👍

Ah ye! No need to squint she’s mint! Hope they’re chuffed with it mate. Real pride in a job well done! Was gonna say what’s happened to the Caddy pick-up so be nice to see that again

Hey Jim thanks mate 👍 caddy pickup is coming soon 😊

What a nice paint job. Respect for this result with silver. And the perfect masking from Jim. Love to see this devotion on the work 🌞

Thanks bud I’m happy with the result on the silver 👍 jimstar is the man for prep and tape 🙏

[@davidstocking1622]

She is FRESH Nath. Great effort gone into that one. Big up to Jimbo. Painting is so much better than masking. Takes me back to when I was a sprayer. Loved spraying , hated masking. Always nice when you peel it off though. Brings em to life. No need to squint with this one. Look forward to seeing a red tail on the red un🤟

[@jimstar7692]

@@davidstocking1622 cheers David 👍 I find masking therapeutic 😂

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks David 👍 I’m not a fan of taping but jimbo absolutely smashed it out, appreciate the comment bud 🙏

Wyns PowerSteering additive - had same issue with my B5 Audi, added as per instructions 7 years ago and never had issue again. Friends Honda CRV also had noisy pump, he did the same about 3 years ago and no noise since

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud I shal give that a try thanks for the tip 👍👍

[@kylearcher5938]

Great work Nathan! You’ve done a cracking job on that Maxi, from start to finish. All that hard work has paid off. Your buyer will be over the moon with it, I’m sure! Ah Ye!

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Kyle thank you mate 👍 I enjoyed playing with it and happy with how it turned out. I do want a maxi to keep thow you can never have to many 😂👍

[@andreeikmeyer678]

Nathan, you explain painting so understandable and motivating. So i got into painting myself, bought a Temu special LVLP gun and everything. Pulling dents, fillering, sanding and spraying like a pro now thanks to you! Would you mind explaining some real basics? Like what thinner to use in which paint, how to clean the gun properly, what to look for when ordering proper paint. Wet vs dry sanding etc.. I know you're not a pro painter. But i don't mind. I like your way of approaching the problems we all have. Always low on money, always no heated booth etc... Real life. Sanding paper...i got chinese sanding paper here. Total crap. 2000 is like 500 grid. You gotta warn us 🫵😂 Nothing wrong with spreading the infos over 500 videos. I'll watch them all anyways 🫵. But would probably make all the bodywork content more accessible to interested people. Wouldn't mind if you would combine shots of you explaining with past shots from the other videos.

[@jonbrookes77]

Would happily watch 10 episodes to see results like this 😎 Looking mint without the squint!

[@YTDTETV]

Thanks Jon appreciate that mate 🙏👍

[@karl3927]

That's a terrific result you've achieved on the Caddy Maxi Nathan and thank you for the video. No wonder you're sorry to see it sold so quick. No would ever believe it was the same van compared to how it was. Have a brilliant weekend mate.

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Karl thank you mate 👍 I’m pleased with the result, would have been nice to drive it a little longer but I know the new owners will appreciate it, you have a great weekend to bud 👍👍

[@YTDTETV]

Hey glen thanks bud, as I used touran wings there was no hole so I made a square hole then trimmed some of the plastic of the back of the indicator to fit in the hole and double sided tapped it in. If you have caddy wings you just need to shape the hole and trim the back of the light abit to fit 👍

[@glenkellaway4664]

@@YTDTETV no I got a v2 front to currently mine are sitting in the arch as I don’t trust myself lol

[@YTDTETV]

@@glenkellaway4664 haha tucked in behind the wheel arch? Andy’s are like that 😂, a mk4 has the light right up against the door edge so I made a template from cardboard the same shape as the back of the indicator then offered it up to the wing and then drew the square hole, used a dremel to fit the hole. I used the caddy bulb holder with a piece of hose round the outside to hold it in the mk4 repeater 👍
