you might not have his budget , but you have forgotten more about mechanic'ing this week than his entire team will ever know.....plus you are not annoying 😃
Hey Ed thank you 🙏 really appreciate the kind words. I have to be honest I don’t even watch his videos I just see them pop up and loads of people ask if I watch him. I enjoy watching more real life RU-vidrs with a reasonable budget rather than just throwing thousands at stuff. Maybe I’m a little jealous 🤷 don’t know I don’t think I want to be that big as I wouldn’t be able to reply to all you guys in the comments it would be overwhelming. Either way thank you 👍
Ive only seen a few minutes of one video but a lot of people ask me if I watch him, the cars and numbers ££ are just ridiculous. I’ll stick with my budget stuff 👍👍
Mate your absolutely smashing it, iv watched alot of the matt armstrong stuff content is good but like you say its unrelatable, iv started doing bits on my focus, inspirational mate top work.
Hey bud thank you I super appreciate that 👍 I do my best with what I can afford, I’ve watched a few RU-vidrs go from zero to hero and the content changes. If I even make it big I’ll stay the same I promise but I will treat my caddy and T5 to some nicer wheels 😂👍
End result looks fantastic, when you fitted the passenger side pieces you did paint the little rectangle piece but didn't paint the long airbag cover strip, that's why there was a slight colour difference, van is really coming on now.
Ah yea as it should have been out the factory, top job mate 😊 old Matt Armstrong lives just up the road from me crazy stuff, prefer DTE budgets to all that ££
Absolutely spanking video Nathan helpful and informative as ever my guy. Bit of old school micky bumba clart finn for me fella. Keep doing what your doing mate the videos are sick stay blessed brother.
Hey David thank you mate 👍 yes that tape hanging out the tape deck is exactly that, I don’t listen all the time just now and again, appreciate the comment 🙏
I just finished carpet lining and then carpeting the ply done the roof too all sound proofing and insulating makes a huge difference. My floor is 12mm ply with 3mm insulation and 3mm rubber top matting. I got transit triple seat in the 3rd row and transit double seat in the 2nd row With the drivers and the double passenger seat I now got 8 seats all with belts etc. I’ll inbox you some pics
Hey plumpi thank you mate 👍 I’ve just been been notified by the mrs I didn’t put a picture up of the paint, RAL 7024 with extra black. Easy enough good paint shops can make it up in rattle can form to 👍
As always you have the eagle eye Nathan , looks good can't remember if the steering wheel was golf mk5 ? No a/c on mine and manual windows but as is life .
Love your transporter series! Would be great to retrofit the multivan/caravelle dash into one of these and install a nice android screen in there too. Plenty of kits available on the market. And the next mod after that - 3D ColorMFD! A ye!
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes your right they are a nicer dash, I have a company wanting to send me android stereos to try so I’ll make a wee video on that if it happens. Oh man I’ve seen those colour inserts for the clocks 👍 I’m on there page on FB and I have even messaged them, price is not bad at all but I don’t know if I have to soldering skills to fit it.
Thanks mate 🙏👍 I see your video about airbrushing a dog the other day that was absolutely brilliant, my kids come and terrorised me right at the end so didn’t get a chance to comment. I’ll comment on the next ones 👍
Love this idea of painting the lighter grey. Fantastic job done well. Do you think I can get the same affect with rattle can? As I don't have a sprayer.
Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 yes for sure, you would need to go to and car shop that sells spray paints and look for one that is close enough to what it needs to be, could even take a small piece of trim with you to try and match it up. Some paint places can make any colour into a spray can maybe a Google search or phone around. Just clean the hell out of them with a degreaser I guess even washing up liquid is a degreaser and a red scotch pad and they clean and prep the plastic. Then get a tin of the plastic primer I showed in the video and give them a really thin light coat. Then with the paint just really thin light dusty coats to colour them up and your done 👍
Great video. But what kind of hradner did you use on the paint? Is it special for plastic ore only first spray coat is for plastic. I have light gray and it get so fast dirty.
Hey bud thank you 👍 the hardener is just any HS paint hardener and all it does it gives the base coat abit of flexibility and durability. My pained bits are very similar to oe ones to touch and feel so shouldn’t catch dirt. I’ll up load a video short on here tomorrow explaining what I used and why 👍
A splash of thinners just so it comes out nice and not stodgy, the RAL colour is 7024 with a little more black in and I add a splash of hardener to make the base coat more durable 👍 thank you
That looks great. Did i hear right, you sprayed them with basecoat only? No lacquer? Ive used thinned raptor, sprayed smooth with my 1.3mm devilbiss before and it held up beautifully for years, but the sheen was always a bit more than OEM. Yours looks much better
Thank you 👍 yep no lacquer just a tiny bit of any hardener in with the base coat to give the paint a slight bit of flexibility and it lasts very well. That’s a good idea of thinned down raptor 👍👍
Hi bud it’s a single stage base coat, base coat dries Matt, I added a drop of hardener to give the base coat abit of flexibility. Thank you appreciate that 👍
Hey James you have a keen eye sir 👍 yes I’ve looked at it multiple times 😂 when I do the rest of the inside I’ll pull all the seats and B pillar trims off and get the belt sander out to remove them 👍
Looking for a set of rear shocks for a mk4 caddy that is lowered the standard ones are bottoming out has anyone got any suggestions for shocks they are using
@@YTDTETV have the bump stops cut I had shorter shocks in but the bushes were falling out so I put in standerd shocks in and now it’s banging when going over bumps
