We Build a CUSTOM TAILGATE for Our MK1 Caddy!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Instead of spending hours restoring it, we decided to ditch our battered, original Volkswagen MK1 Caddy tailgate and try to fabricate a custom tailgate, completely from scratch!
To do this project we'll be using our SwiftCut CNC plasma table and Promecam 50 tonne press brake, along with some other tools...

Hey! We're Mat & Len, a guy and a girl from North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. We love making stuff out of metal and building cars together.

Cheers. Yeah we did the lettering ourselves.
@@RotboxMetalworks is it possible to order an individual lettering on a metal-sheet at you??
@@RotboxMetalworks , I hope you feel well ?! Would it be possible to order an individual lettering for the tailgate of the Caddy ???
I would buy one.

Cheers for the comment! The other tailgate was for a customer, we still have our original tailgate! 😀👍
@@RotboxMetalworks just found the channel and been binge watching episodes, was like, ive just watched him fix one of those :)
How do we get your panels
nice vids!
Glad you like them!
will it come in the shop?
No plans to put it on the website, it took ages to do and we want it to be a one off 🙂
Fabrication skills on point beautiful work, but I wish y’all videos had some kind of Commentation. The video gets boring with just the elevator music
Nice, I really like your attention to detail, you make the hard look easy.
Cheers 👍
