A little Mini Series! My Step Father has owned this 2016 Caddy for a year or so now and it was a little cold and noisy for daily driving so I offered to sound deaden, Insulate & Carpet the rear to help with this.
Hardly a step by step guide but will hopefully help someone!

Yes, get a Caddy! They are really popular as personal vehicles, as well as commercials, so lots of followers.

Literally done everything I’ve done to my van through watching your vids… done the touran dash, carpeted, arm rest, front carpets, sound deadening and everything with your guidance… thanks for the videos very much appreciated!

@custompropertyrenovations8182 11 месяцев назад

Well done mate. I've watched so many clips of people applying sound deadening incorrectly. Seeing you clean all surfaces properly and using a roller to make sure the sound deadener is bonded correctly to metal is something lacking in alot of clips and critical for longevity and performance. Also the amount you have used is the way I have planned to do my van. Too many people only apply a small sheet here and there which I believe defeats the purpose. Do it once do it right. Top job bro. Looking forward to watching you doing the next step!!!

@rhodrihow959 3 года назад

Don’t forget the insides of the back and I’d do the front doors too But then after a sunroof leak ruining my headliner in a MK3.5 Fiesta RS1800 and pre monster car stereo install, I did the roof floors doors quarter panels boot floor rear arches and then the front doors on the side where the trim fixes back on, had the dashboard out to get the main power cable through from the engine bay. Ok this was 2004 but I’m sure I was pushing 200 sheets of DynoMat....each week I’d go buy more as cost wise I had to break it down But boy what a difference, worth the effort and good on you for eventually doing this for your Step Dad Nice one Dan 👍🏻

@DanChambersDAC 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and for commenting Bud. I did more than I had discussed with my Step-Dad! May go even further with my own project!

@garethwilliams4162 3 года назад

Great series mate. I was planning on do my caddy van and once I saw your 1st vid, I ordered all the materials and gave it a go. What a transformation, some good little tricks I didn’t consider that worked out a treat. Great vids to follow along to. Champion!

@DanChambersDAC 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Gareth. That's awesome and why I want to put these video's out there! Glad it all worked out bud.

@bigeein 3 года назад

Hi Dan, I’ve done this job on my own caddy. Results were fantastic. Yes you should do a caddy build after juicy’s completed. I’ve searched on you tube, and I can’t find many videos on things like caddy single rear door conversations. GTi front end conversation for the caddy. Suspension lowering etc on the caddy van. Lots of videos on people making them day vans , no one doing the mechanicals. The channels doing great mate . Cheers. Ian

@DanChambersDAC 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Yes I think I am going to search for one. Would probably run alongside the Mk1 too as the views for the channel have dropped right off.

@smrobertson72 3 года назад

Definitely get one, I’ve had two great vans. Great vans. If your putting bulkhead back in, make ply infills for mesh area and carpet to match back, much quieter. If your looking at lowering it at rear speak to Carl jones at Jones Springs and get updated reprofiled rear springs rather than axle flip, far more suspension travel along with stiffer suspension. Lower front with springs or coil overs.

@DanChambersDAC 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and for commenting Stuart. I have an idea on the suspension set up...

@wild_childofthe80s Год назад

Love your tip with the mole grips! We have a special tool for the job but I'd say your way is possibly a better option! I'm currently doing a Caddy conversion and because I didn't want to reuse those clips and didn't have the tool to hand, I ripped them out using a fork 🤣 I'm posting on Instagram but will eventually post on RU-vid too. I'm looking forward to finishing your video to see how you transform it :) x x

@BlandNutz 3 года назад

If you want to make the interior the B pillar trims look better look for a vw caddy maxi 5 seater in the breakers, they came without a bulkhead and dont have those horrible gaps down both sides ,they also go right up to the roof lining and finish it off and way cheaper than vw who want 150 quid per side. Also if you get a caddy ,you can fit a whole vw touran people carrier front half interior into it,dashboard too up to 2015 .Ive done it to mine and it changes the feel if it inside massively .

@DanChambersDAC 3 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and for commenting Bud. Yeah I have been looking into it all since I did this one. Hopefully my project will be a decent one!

How much carpet do you think you used for the sides plus the headliner? Also Do you think I would get away with a 40 pack of sound deadening if I’m not needing to to the floor? Love your videos by the way, you make it look too easy! Keep it up.
