Vw caddy - budget build - getting the lows
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2023
- Moving straight on with the zero budget restoration vw caddy, we are going to focus on getting it lowered, front springs and a rear axle flip. I don’t have any bits for the axle flip so how did I get on.
Let’s find out..
There is something very wrong when a channel & dude this good has only 13k subscribers. Should be 10x that. Great job & video as always bro 👍🏼
Hey sausage ah man thank you 🙏 part of me wants more to be able to go full time UA-camr and pay the bills but another part of me is happy with just you guys because I then have time to read your amazing comments and reply with honesty and meaning rather than just words. Thank you so much for the support ❤️🙏👍
The words of a genuinely decent guy 👏🏼
Hi NATHAN That lowering on the white caddy “HANDING” is a fantastic way to do it !! AH! YE cheers BRIAN
Hey Brian thank you mate really appreciate the kind words sir ❤️🙏👍
Ah yea can’t beat a Friday night DTE update. Cheers mate glad to hear the videos are getting the views, well deserved there
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that glad the videos are Friday night worthy ❤️🙏👍
Respect to you for doing andys van for free and spending ur own cash u earned on it the world needs more people like u
Hey mate thank you 🙏 Andy’s been there for me in other ways so I actually enjoy doing what I love and helping friends like that out. Without his caddy I wouldn’t have earned the money so don’t mind putting it back into it. Really appreciate the comment 🙏👍
Get the stickers made mate......free advertising!Great vid as usual!
Hey Paul ar man I’ve been let down a couple of times your so right about the advertising ❤️🙏👍 thank you mate
im a super tall geezer 😂😂😂😂 nearly spat my drink over the screen when you said that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha 😂 I’m glad my mild humour doesn’t go unnoticed 🙏👍 thanks mate
@@YTDTETV absolutely cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
It's all coming together now, & you can tell Andy is over the moon with it some difference now
Hey Martin Andy is really happy, we have lots of donated parts to go on in the next few videos 🙏👍
Nice budget transformation…..she’s looking sweet….👍👌🇮🇲😉
Hey bud thank you appreciate the comment 🙏👍
Love how your helping your mate for nothing , your a good chap , keep up the good work
Hey bud thank you i enjoy what I do and even more so returning the love and support Andy has given me over the years 👍👍
Enjoyed the caddy update and glad to hear the comments and likes are helping the channel. 👍
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that mate 👍
Great Vid, constantly amazed at your knowledge and skill and generosity.
You keep it real and down to earth, best channel going.
Hey mate thank you really appreciate the kinds words 🙏👍
Vans looking good, it’s nice to see a realistic build! And you are a real craftsman
Hey Richard thank you for the kind words sir 👍🙏
Something great and more interesting about improving something without just throwing money at it! Great content as usual 👍 lovin this one!
Hey Mike yes I do watch a few channels that have loads of money but I do prefer the real world restorations. Thanks mate 👍
Interesting video Nathan..Really enjoyed the video's on your Caddy & now Andy's van.
Hey ray thank you mate glad you enjoy the videos and appreciate the comment 🙏👍
Top tip with the narrowed bolt for opening the shock / hub. Will do that as a back up. Another great video Thank You
Hey bill I do have a proper little tool but I made that a little while back when I couldn’t find it. Depending on the side of your gap is weather you would use m6 m8 or m10 bolt. Always appreciate your comments sir 🙏👍
Great job, fair play to you for putting your hand in your pocket for Andy’s van, Andy’s t shirt is DTE merch worthy 😀🇮🇪
Hey Alan I earned it from his van so seemed right spending it back on it. Haha yes that a good shout about a budget caddy t shirt 🙏👍
Can’t beat a zero budget build 🫡
Thanks stevie appreciate that mate 🙏👍
caddy's look so much better lowered, had the same problem with mine, the front bolts had to cut them off what a pain that was. get Andy to split the seals on his head lights with a heat gun and spray all the silver parts black , nice little free mod. 👍
Hey max then axle bolts are a right pain I’ve wrestled them on a few vans now, that is a good shout about doing the headlights I’ll include that in a video very soon 🙏👍
nice 1 👍@@YTDTETV
Great job mate, Andy's blessed having a mate like you helping him out 👍
Thanks simon appreciate that mate 👍
Love seeing a caddy getting pimped out, your doing a great job. I never need to take the wipers off. If you close the bonnet and before taking the keys out hit the wiper stalk it will put the wipers in a kind of service mode in the upright position which put the mech out of the way of the strut bolts.
Hey bud thank you someone else mentioned that and I never knew so thank you appreciate that 🙏👍
Great job mate it’s getting there now,removing the front hub is the best way to do the fronts,I’ve learned the hard way 😂
Hey bud thank you 👍 there is some motors that you can just slide the hub down but most just bind up on the shafts and cable etc so just wanted to mention that before anyone tells me how to do it easier 😆🙏👍
After a stresses out day yesterday, i really enjoy watching you guys droppin' the Caddy. Nice vid and comments. DTE TV made my day. Greetings from Holland
Hey bud thank you 👍 so glad you class my videos as a good way of relaxing that really inspires me to keep making content really appreciate that and ah ye to everyone from Holland 🙏👍
Thank you 😊
Looking good! I purchased a Caddy six months ago, and that's precisely when I discovered your channel. I thoroughly enjoy your content. Warm greetings from Lithuania!
Hey Darius glad you found the channel appreciate your comment all the way from Lithuania hope your enjoying your caddy 👍
lots of comments Nathan top work love the way you work always thinking, BUDGET ZERO 👍👍👍👏
Hey bud thank you , yes happy with lots of comments I reply to as many as I can. Got a deadline on painting the T5 so I’ll be on that for the next month 👍
Soldering iron and That sounded hollow made my day.😂😂 Thanks for another great video 😊
Hey francis haha thank you for noticing my light humour the knock on the head sounded very hollow my end. 😂🙏👍 ps the videos are my pleasure thank you for always watching and supporting ❤️
Thanks for all the tips regarding all caddy vids. You have helped me 10 fold. Keep up the good work and videos can’t come quick enough 😂 all the best
Hey bud thank you glad the videos are useful really appreciate the kind words 🙏👍
Well done mate, takes me back to the days of lowering the Escort Mk1 and also jacking them up!
Hey Charles haha the technique are still the same it’s surprising a modernist van still has old type leaf springs 👍
Love'n Andy build, its good to see you don't have to spend alot of money to make it look good. I'm looking forward for the Caddy meet vid👌🇦🇺
Hey bud thank you I’ve never had loads of money to spend on stuff so I do what I can 😊 caddy meet video is next 🙏👍
@YTDTETV I hope boom box boy keeps the volume down
Great news channel gaining pace, it’s only what it definitely deserves as it’s not a ah look how easy everything is to repair a vehicle. Right down salt of the earth guy talking in real world people talk. Please keep up the great content 👍
Hey Martin thank you mate really appreciate the kind words I do my best and best super honest I’m glad that’s good enough ❤️🙏👍
Tidy job, nice to see things done properly on a 0 budget. Looking forward to the meet video
Thanks mate hope you enjoyed the meet video to 👍
Your right many other channels would be throwing money at it…….however your way is so much more realistic keep up the great work! My only gripe is not enough vids 😂
Hey Anthony I’ve never had loads of money to throw at stuff so always done my best with what I can. I’m nearly at the stage of full time UA-camr just need little bit more income and then I can pump a few more vids out. Thank you 🙏👍
Loving these videos. Informative and entertaining with real world advice not just throwing shed loads of brand new parts at it with 1000s of pound of tools.
Fellow caddy owner so loving it! Keep up the great work
Hey bud glad your enjoying them, I’ve never had loads of money to throw at stuff so do the best I can with what I have, appreciate the kind words 🤙👍
Love this low budget build series. Great tips as always 👍 being the sole trader you have come up with the best way to do a job which doesn't cost you more time or money so fair play to you. This also means you're customers are more likely to get their car back on time. 👍 great to see the Impact getting some action. You're a good guy spending the cash on Andy's motor.
Hey Phillip I have broke many things in the earlier years and I’ve never just added that to a customers bill I literally take it on the chin and pay for it, you then work out a way of not breaking things as your right the customer get there car back on time. I had so many customer before the boy went maybe because I was honest and reliable but blimey it was tiring keeping up with it, I earned good money but it didn’t make me happy. Gun gets used every day thank you mate I will never forget it ❤️🙏👍
@@YTDTETV being an early subscriber I do remember your earlier videos regarding Lucas. It was my pleasure to help you out. I know you have great friends around you. 👍
@@MalteseMafia I used to mention lucas a lot but I always get sad when I talk about him to much and I didn’t want to give off the wrong impression so I’ve rained that in a little. I will mention him whenever I can without it being to much. It’s not my time yet so while I’m here I do my best to make him proud. Thank you for sticking around mate ❤️🙏👍
By far one of the top channels on here. Great work, superb content as always, and just the way you explain things and show people how things are done in the easiest way possible makes this a great watch and will no doubt, get a fair few more people working on their own cars without chucking bag loads of money at garages to do it for them.
Top quality as always dude.
Hey mate massive thank you for the kind words 🙏👍 I do my best to simplify jobs I know most people can do them with just a little guidance.
Some great work as usual! Andys van is starting to look tidy! Aww yeah!
Hey bud thank you it is looking better appreciate the comment 🙏👍
That is so f#####g descent what your doing for Andy ,you can count your real friends on one hand ,obviously you and Andy are tight ,your a gentleman ❤
Thank you Matthew really appreciate the kind words mate ❤️🙏👍
Love watching these videos. Looking forward to the next episodes on this Caddy.
Thanks Anthony 🙏👍
That Nathan is the next stage on my sons caddy thank you so much mate for helping us you my friend are a star 😄
Hey Tony no problem at all, as mentioned the rear leaf bolts can be a pain so lots of lubricant and working in and out will get them out 🙏👍
Love this series mate. Proves you don’t have to spend loads to get a great looking motor! 👍
Hey bud thank you 👍 I’m enjoying doing what I can to make it look better without spending loads of money.
This is such a great series. As a Caddy Maxi owner myself I love watching artisans like you working on them. I may get a Transporter someday (I see the Caddy as a gateway car to other bigger vans) so the fact that your channel covers Caddys and transporters is brilliant
Hey bud thank you glad your enjoying the series 👍 I call the T5 the caddy’s bigger brother, appreciate the kind words 🤙
Great work. Can't believe you used that gun for primer though. 😂
Hey bud thank you, I know I really need a new primer gun so I don’t have to use my sata 😩
Good stuff DT, the white Caddy is moving from Mingin to Blingin
Hey Karter haha minging to blinging I’ve not heard that one, might have to use that in a video 🙏👍 thank you mate
Super gutted I couldn’t make CCUK meet this time, I was really looking forward to seeing all the hard work you’ve do on Andy’s Caddy.
But I sure I’ll find time to pop down and see it in the next week or so.
Us white Caddy’s (the best colour) need to stick together 😊
Hey Darren I felt an empty presence you not being there mate, your the reason I’m there wasn’t the same without you. Hopefully you make next one 🙏👍❤️
Yes mate white caddy's rule 🤣🤣
Yes mate like naff said, we miss you when you're not there mate!! 😊
Loving this !
Just got my hands on a caddy Got a immaculate 1.8t low
Miles none abused might sell - get her a car and keep the bkd touran too do engine swap !
Potentially see you at a caddy meet some day soon 👍
Ohhhhh yeeeeaaahhhhh
great video, and your a kind guy putting the income towards helping out a mate, well done mate.
Hey mate thank you I earned it from his van so seemed right putting it back into it for sure appreciate your comment 🙏👍
Mate great job . It’s great to have a mate that you think that much off like Andy . Great top tip with the spirt level . If all else fells , tip is to put the spirt level in the freezer over night , she will alway be level to it thaws out😂😂😂 hope the caddy meet went well for you both . I know your busy , is that t5 tailgate mine or what ? Happy to donate . Dont want to keep asking and pestering you about it . I’m out , keep it up 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hey bud thank you caddy meet was good that video will be up in a day or 2z haha brilliant tip about the level in the freezer 😂. Yes the tailgate is still here. I will reply to your email either tonight or tomorrow just replying to 150 comments 💤 ❤️🙏👍
really clever stuff - love the old-school approach to lowering
Hey Andrew thank you mate you can buy expensive kits to do the job but if you have a grinder and a welder you can do it with what’s on there.
What a difference in the Caddy. Top work as usual mate.
Thank you Garry appreciate that mate 🙏👍
It's amazing how many armchair experts there are in internet land , who can't just watch your videos and be happy Nathan. I get advice all the time from car drivers coz everyone has a licence and everyone knows better than me how I should manoevre my 44ton truck , hey ho , great work mate , now get back on the T5
Hey John your so right I done the exact same job on my caddy and had a few people telling me how to do it 🙄. I’ve set a deadline on painting the T5 so I will be full steam on that this week. Thank you for the comment sir 🙏👍
What a transformation - really is night and day what lows and some tidied up wheels can do to these Caddy's 😄 Another cracking video Nath!
It is looking better 👍 thanks mate 🙏
Great work m8 Andy is lucky to have a m8 like you enjoyed all videos keep it up.
Hey Angus thank you mate I enjoy returning niceness to people who have helped me. Appreciate your comment sir 🙏👍
Nathan great bit of work as usual , Andy nmust be happy.
Hey Marc Andy is super happy always appreciate your comments mate 🙏👍
Mate I don't Even Own a caddy and probably never will, u come here for the entertainment Value, and the down to earth explanations on how to ... class channel Love it .. also Learning new saying every time ha ha .. today i learnt .. Pain in the Arris, good enough for the girls we Date ... and I'm all petered Out !!!! ... keep up the good work mate and looking forward to the next Transporter update
Hey Stuart thank you 👍 glad you watch the videos even thow they are off your topic. I’ve picked up a few sayings along the way and have made a few myself, happy that they don’t go unnoticed. Really appreciate the kind words 🙏👍
Love it can't beat a black wheel steelie or alloy caddy looks great patiently waiting for next video 😅
Hey Joey a like a black steelie to makes a good difference 🙏👍 thanks mate
Love Andy’s caddy.
Thanks mate 🙏👍
Cracking job there Nathan and thank you for the video. The way you're transforming Andy's caddy on a zero budget shows others what can be achieved if they embrace your work ethic and ingenuity. Loving the look of Andy's lowered caddy with the black steelies. Got to say your Caddy's paintwork is flawless, it reflects like a mirror 👌. Have a great weekend mate.
Hey Karl thank you I’ve never had loads of money to throw at projects my caddy is probably the most I’ve ever spent on a vehicle so just doing what I know for little with Andy’s seems to be going well. Always appreciate your comments and support mate hope your weekend is going well 🙏👍
Everyone needs a mate like Nath!
Hey Tony thank you mate 🙏👍
Nathan really enjoying the budget series. I forgot how you lowered your own Caddy. I wouldn’t be allowed to do it that way here in Germany. When I lowered my Caddy, I had to use an approved kit mine is a H&R and then I must take the Caddy to the TÜV(MOT). Who check that it is fitted properly and entered it in the logbook.
Everything is so regimented here compared to the UK. I nearly fell foul to this as I ordered a sport air filter and didn’t read the small print until it arrived “only for show and racing not for street use”. They have to be enclosed similar to the original and that makes the sport filters 5x as expensive. That’s why I’m doing my Caddy with a limited budget. I could get the lowering kit because it cost less than new springs after it broke from the impact of a lorry carcass hitting my Caddy.
So in Germany all modifications from standard factory spec has to pass inspection?
Hey bud thank you and yep I’ve heard about the laws etc over there and I understand it’s for safety etc. appreciate the comment 🙏👍
Great job on the caddy cracking welding job. I might have to get rid of the T5 and get a caddy top channel Nathan 👍👍
Hey Tim thank you as always mate 🙏👍 caddy is just the T5’s little brother I have one for daily and one for weekend the perfect couple 😊🙏👍
Great work just found your channel enjoyed your transporter videos now watching everything.
Hey bud glad you found the channel and enjoy them appreciate the comment 👍
Another great vid...Andy must be chuffed 👌🏻 #biglovedub
Hey bud thank you Andy is really happy with it 😊🙏👍
Obviously a true mate, good luck with budget Caddy build, looking good
Thanks Ashley appreciate that mate 👍🙏
Loving this series! I've been subscribed since your own Caddy build and as a fellow Caddy owner I look forward to these episodes so much.
Amazing in every aspect.
I don't think you'd ever have a shortage of Caddy content, plenty of blokes on here would have you work on theirs in a heartbeat I'm sure 😉
Hey bud thank you and glad your enjoying them 👍 I really enjoy working on the caddy’s, maybe in time I fix a few others. Appreciate the kind words 🤙
Excellent job again mate, so watchable, glad to see your channel doing so well, you'll beating so much soon you'll be buying new vans ha
