I hope you all enjoy the video! Just something I wanted to mention. They do make a 2” lift that is bolt in for the Mk1 platform (CKW2). They can be installed with little to no modifications. Of course..wanting to be a bit different, we wanted to go with 4” of lift. I’ll need to extend the lower control arms slightly to compensate for camber. The main issue with this much lift is axle bind and rub. To this point we don’t have either though! 😃

That truck is looking so much better! I'm going to have to try that Basketball trick

@hughbertsprojects 2 года назад

If you go to replace the windshield you can install a newer glue in one and not have to install another gasket style. I converted an older Jetta like that a few years back. Got a universal rubber molding and put it around the glass. Turned out pretty good and didn’t leak.

@derekwalters6132 2 года назад

So I’m watching this video and thinking man what a shame the passenger side looks beat up, then you pulled out the basketball and I’m thinking what in the hell is he going to do with that. If I hadn’t seen you pop the dents out with it myself I’d have never believed it, gotta say that worked way better than I thought it would. That side might be a little wavy still but it looks a helluva lot better than it did before.

@kinn1647 2 года назад

The suspension will bang. A bigger spring is made for a heavier vehicle the original spring is made for the right weight you could buy a leg extension kit so the suspension works. Looks good high. Nice 👍🖖🍺

@dcale89 4 месяца назад

Any chance you have a part number for those rear blocks? I'm having a hard time finding them.

@edgardovigo147 2 года назад

Man the basketball trick was very impresive, good job! Looks like a mini rally truck. Love it!

@handyhippie6548 2 года назад

i agree. i guess i've gotta get a basket ball, and an american football for tighter spaces to keep in my body repair tool cart. they would be a lot cheaper than the $50-100 they want for the air bags they make to pop out dents.

@Enakaji 2 года назад

I've got something similar thats actually ment for this style of dent repair. its basically an inflatable pillow that, when not inflated, is only around 2mm thick, so you can get it into really tight spaces. These things are called "Flatpad" or "Pressure pillow" and they are indeed very useful.

@handyhippie6548 2 года назад

@@Enakaji i have a couple small ones with an inflator bulb and pressure release valve for forcing the top of a vehicle door frame to deal with a lockout. they work quite well, but they weren't cheap.

@lateefcarrere1649 2 года назад

The lift kit and knobby tires are just what the doctor ordered. And that basketball body repair was novel, and made for a unique helmet afterwards. All that's needed is tubular bumpers front and rear w/a skid plate to protect the engine, a truck style exhaust, and it's ready to go!

The tubular front bumper with a full frontal brush guard would look amazing. I would even clean it all up afterwards and paint it with either chrome paint, or a high polish silver.

Here in Germany there are some overroll cages avaiable which attatch to the bed and have a bar over the roof. That would look awesome and would be the perfect fit for some cab lights for your truck

Double tubular front wrap-around bumper, chrome roll bar and headache rack behind the rear window. Looking good!

3 inch pipe for your front and rear bumpers..Great video. This is rapidly becoming my favorite car channel

@SummerRoseRacing 2 года назад

I absolutely love what you all are doing with this Caddy! :) The rollbar bumpers front and back with a brush guard for the front would really make it pop visually! :) --- Using that basketball to gently push the dents back out is pure genius and it is already looking so much better! :) --- Really looking forward to seeing the next video! :)

@GendoPrime 2 года назад

I think it would look good with some sort of roll bar in the bed and some square lights bolted up to it.

@mattalki 2 года назад

wow, I can't believe how well the basketball worked. For the bed, can you sand it down and just paint it with rust converter? That may be enough to keep it from rusting worse, and then you can put the wood slat floor down. Loving this build. I really like seeing these old mk1's getting rescued!

@davebarron5939 2 года назад

Good looking truck, loved the basket ball pneumatic dent removal tool. LOL

@edgrigsby8610 2 года назад

My first car was a 1980 VW truck. It had a block heater and burned regular gas, not unleaded. I loved that thing. I drove it ( carefully) off road and never got stuck. Sadly a person ran a stop sign and I couldn't stop. I barely had time to hit the brakes before I broadsided a full size pickup. My beloved truck was wrecked.

@danielkingery2894 2 года назад

Tube bumpers for sure...an maybe a lil roll bar in the bed for lightbars to be mounted. Brat seats too maybe?😋

@Turningwrenches85 2 года назад

love the basketball trick to pop out most of the dents there on the fender and back of the bed . Lil caddy is coming along love the decals on there also making it really unique Volkswagen

What a beautiful pickup....those mk1 caddys are gaining in popularity here in the uk....I'd be proud to have that on my driveway

@bikinglikebecker 2 года назад

I think trailer style rims always look the best, dished inward., not outward like these wheels.. might get them skinny and rubbing less with more clearance... truck looking great.. I am sure you see the water in the front right turn signal... When making rounded bumpers you can turn them into air compressor tanks as a neat idea...

@noexpensespentstudios 2 года назад

Big visible skid plate and some chunky bullbars on the front, a roll over bar with oversized spotlights behind the cab, and a CB aerial. It'd end up looking like a RC truck in all the best ways. Brilliant tip with the basketball, I can see that coming in handy, and the wheel choice is really good.

You lived up to the show name on this one because it’s a real budget build! I’ve seen the dent correction before with a football rather than a basketball. It might work a bit better getting into tight spaces. The lift and wheels made a huge difference in the appearance of the trick. Great job as always👍🏼

@jmd18 Год назад

Love the build!!!! And love the basketball trick. I have heard of it but never seen it done. Maybe you could try some other sized balls. Like a football or one of those little 6" basketballs you get from a carnival. Keep up the good work!!!

I was today years old when I learned you can use a deflated basketball to get out big dents. You have a vote for tubular bumpers. Also think about adding roll bar for the bed.

@BigElCat 2 года назад

Make a stainless steel skid 'plate' out of 10 gauge sheet in place of a bumper. Have it about 3/4" from the sheet metal, just follow the contour under the grill. Back would attach to the engine / tranny cross member.
