Thanks Ash, I didnt know that. thanks fot the link also. www.powerflex.co.uk/product-details/Front+Arm+Rear+Bush/2076.html

Boss!

That's true. Gave them a good dose of WD-40 so fingers crossed!

It does!

Well done ;)

I hadn't, but I have now and subbed. Thanks for commenting. Those bottom pulleys are a pain eh?

Did the suspension creak a bit??? The coilovers arrived today

@@could_try_harder Not that I noticed. It wasn't a very long journey to be honest, just under 15m in the car.

@SibodKent I'm midway through fitting the coilovers on ours. Front end is done. 2 out of 5 spanners so far. Filming it for the channel.

Moist?

Top tier individual!

I've never owned a splitscreen, but I used 2mm which steel in this video for the structural stuff and the new external repair pieces (more cosmetic) were 1-1.5 mm

Hey I've never had any complaints!! ;) but yes it's 80" and the tallest we could fit in the garage (which is under the upper floor of the house)

Thanks

I have all the PPE now, but thanks for your concern.

That would have been either heritage VW. Or Alan Schofield. Thanks for the nice comment! Good luck with your resto.

You should make a video.....

I'd be surprised if the thread on the engine is stripped. The oil filters are fairly soft metal and are only supposed to be 'hand tight'. The oil filter seal is made by the large rubber ring around the outer part of the mating surface. Sometimes these stick to the engine and you end up with two. This could feel like it is not tightening properly as there is more rubber to compress. And likely would not seal, leading to the filter leaking. Pull the oil filter back off, and inspect the mating surface for the old o ring material. Don't forget to top up the oil in case you lose some whole doing this.

I am also surprised because I used a hand to tight it not a tool. But I will remove it and double check

@could_try_harder I did take the oil filter off and inspect it as you said . But there is no old gasket or seal and is still leaking so I don't know what is the problem.

Just letting you know that the oil filter is no longer leaking again. I hope that is sorted now

Complete legends!

Thanks Adam! More soon

I did the bottom of both a pillars. You can buy those repair panels and they are thicker steel as you would expect. So easier welding ;)

Or maybe overfilled lubricant ?

I'd say it's very unlikely, is the clutch standard? If so you should probably upgrade if you have a turbo!

@@could_try_harder I have original turbo, my car is 1.6 GTD from '84. I installed oem Sachs clutch set and i can't figured out what is the problem.

@@yusufunlu3530 some people try to fill the gear ox through the inspection hole on top. That could cause clutch slip 😉

@@could_try_harder Do you mean speedometer wire hole ?

Hello Sam thanks for watching and commenting. The car came with BBS RA alloys (14 inch diameter). They were marked up as BMW. So probably from an E30 3 series. Hope that helps you out

Thanks that means a lot

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I bought panels from www.justkampers.co.uk www.alanhschofield.com and www.heritagepartscentre.com i also got the funky green front panel from custom and commercial

Thanks!

It's more than we've attempted before so i appreciate the good wishes!! 🙏

Hi thanks for the comment. In this case it was from heritage vw. A klokkenholm panel. It fitted really well.

If the actual oil pressure is low, then you most likely have a problem with the oil pump or the pickup tube. If the actual oil pressure is good, then you have a faulty oil pressure sensor and it will need to be replaced

thank you, i will try

Oil and the paint process don't mix. This wasn't a "restore to factory" project as you can see from the colour choice. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your take on the process. It sounds like you have some experience too.

I’ve been fitting hoods on these cars for over 10 years. You are incorrect that the MK1 Golf Cabriolet didn’t come with a Vynil hood. Sonnenland is the generic name given to cloth tops as it was named after the area it was developed. Hartz bought out the Sonnenland factory and continued to make the material and the only cabriolet MK1 wise that came ever out of the Karmann factory with a cloth top was the Rivage edition in the U.K. Again replacing side tension cables on a shrunk roof will NOT undo years of UVA sunlight damage. That is a scientific impossibility. Those side cables are on springs so the springs extend as the cable is pulled up By the shrinkage. Just how does the moisture manage to get into the material that’s stapled into the plastic insert? I use WD40 to lubricate joints as so many are neglected and it’s a good start to drive any residual Moisture out of the the joints.

You can see ours is decent in the video. Oil bypass operates at around 6 bar I understand.

I hear you but the drain point in the oil tank means that's not really an issue. Also you never get all the oil out anyway given that the coolers are at the front. Thanks for the comment!

Danke fürs Zuschauen

thanks for the comment.

It's actually really well put together. Nothing like the Peugeot's of the 80s with their selection box plastic trim!!

I WISH that were the case!! They carry more heft than a deer though. Complete write off for sure!!!

Friend of mine lived in Norway. You have to deal with Moose there (and he’s managed to survive hitting one! That would have done the job. But deer is probably the most likely culprit.

I also reckon a deer, Simon moose are huge that's scary 😂, @tomcallaghan4664 kangaroos must make a right mess. We we where saying at least captur hasn't got those firing caps which push the bonnet up, they can be a nightmare to fix then. This one looks pretty straightforward, so fingers crossed.

How do you mean? Width or height?

@@could_try_harder both please.

287 cm wide X 204 cm high. That's the actual ramp dimensions. I have more space than that of course.

Hi Terry sorry I've no idea what you could expect to pay Canada. But i reckon on £1500 to £2000 in the UK. Depending on the state of your hood, frame and material options

@@could_try_harder thanks that’s all I wanted a gauge assuming 8-12 hrs of work,

It’s so hard to gauge as to what would be needed until it’s stripped down. I’ve done these cars where they just only need a top. Others there’s rot on the top frame header. So new metal has to be welded in. Rotten rear window frames. Worse is usually where an old top is left in it holds the wet and rusts the frame. Failure to maintain or replace when it needs to be because it’s a big ticket item is a false economy as at least some point the job will need to be done properly and will cost even more , worse when it’s a new owner left with the bill on top of buying the car. It’s worth watching the strip down video if you haven’t already.

Thanks Derek

Thanks Terry. It goes to show how easy basic maintenance really is. :)

I liked the little smile when he nearly fell over 😂😂. Definitely a handy thing to have if your messing with a few motors 👍

We have stance plus fitted to the car. The ride is lovely. There's a video on them in the playlist so check it out!!

😂😂😂 of course I can laugh about it now.....

Thank you! Cheers!

Carl provided all the materials so I don't know the exact dimensions, but looking the video it looks to be about 3" wide and about 1/4" thick

Thanks for the kind comments. My welding is mostly self taught and advice from friends who are very skilled. Therefore I'd say I'm ok. I had a go at Tig welding back last year and. Really enjoyed the experience, so that's something I'd like to do more of. There's no engine swap on the way for this one. I've sunk too much time and money into replacing the original ancillaries!

Lol good spot! 1. You are correct B. I'm not changing it now In conclusion, thanks for the kind comments.

No worries thanks a lot for sharing video nonetheless 👍🏻

You did! At least the engine hasn't had to come out

Been there, done that!
