awesome to see the progress bro but PLEASE get some proper welding gloves and either a respirator or some better ventilation when you weld. Was a welder for 6 years, better safe than sorry brother.
I’m actually working on a MK6 TDI ‘buyer’s guide’ right now. There are quite a few things to look out for, namely, its service history. That’ll dictate what you should do when you get the car!
@@JamesCooperider Oh cool! The service history looks pretty good but I think the Timing Belt needs to be replaced soon. I'm excited for my first TDI though!
I made a couple videos on TDI-swapping that thing but it's really a customer car that NEEDS gone. That to say, I probably won't finish the series on it.

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to light up the trail? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking to do some sponsorship with you!
I just didn't love my auto trans options... the 01M isn't very savory lol. I tossed around a common rail and DSG but that's basically the only auto I'd go for
HAH, I'm not the biggest fan of TDI swaps in regular MK1 rabbits but I think it fits this thing really well. It makes sense with the government-issued, purpose-built vibe
"feels like driving a garden shed" 😂
13:23 pooped over its own power, lol. Congratulations 🤘🏻🤘🏻 on getting it to move
cheers for the mechanic
My friend Chris who’s now passed had an MTDI cub van. Was such an awesome little van.
It Fid Dit ( It did Fit) LOL
Wow amazing rebuild. Can’t wait to see more.
So happy this got recommended to me. So cool
This was so exciting!! Woohoo! Looking forward to the next video. Love these car projects
Haha heck yeah!! Excited to share what I’ve got next! 🫱🏼🫲🏽
So glad to see it finally up and driving, good stuff!
You're effing insane and I love it!
Can’t wait to see it at madness

Oakswwke3keee8e8😂

Congratulations, it sounds great! Props to using a mic that didn't make it all road noise 👌
Awsome to see it out and about !!
I'm jealous!
this was an awesome series, glad to see it on the road!!
Very nice tdi conversion. 👍
Awesome video like always, was excited to see this
I need to finish my ALh Swap so I can start mobbing
Looking forward for the next build
Hell yeah man! It's an absolute riot and such an upgrade from the 1.6... even at 90HP haha!
Now you need to put a Grumman F-14 Tomcat decal on it! Same factory, different day☺
Sick!!!
😮🎉 it alive
I see you went with a bigger diameter pipe is that so the Engine can breathe better?
This is soo bloody cool! I would love this ❤
That shifter is scary
oh yeah, by FAR the worst part of the whole operation 🤣. I promise the vice-grips aren't permanent
Love it
So cool

great work now i need one of those.
question
how did you get around the immobilizer in the ECU?
I'd assume it was part of an ECU tune. Malone and Kerma are both very popular for those 1.9TDI's.
It's actually an un-tuned 1999 ECU. If I'm not mistaken, MK4's didn't have an immobilizer until 2000.
I wont judge what youre doin at least youre tinkerin I like to tinker
Did you convert it to left hand drive?
Love the work you are doing on the vehicles and the quality of your videos is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! 🍻
Is that a hose hanging on the front, looks like it has a toungue
Awesome now drive it to L‘ OE show this year 😉

I'm going to look at a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen TDI tomorrow, anything I should look out for?

When will you be making videos on the red pickup?
I made a couple videos on TDI-swapping that thing but it's really a customer car that NEEDS gone. That to say, I probably won't finish the series on it.
Where’d you get your VW hat? It’s 🔥
Nice
💥💥💥
Needs a “GardenShed” euro plate.
oh HELL yeah, consider this idea "stolen." 🤣
Why didn’t you just go with the automatic in this van?

What is the weight on that motor

You should have vr6 it❤

awwwwyyeaahhh
Madness ride?
You bet!
You gotta slam that
I think that'll be next season ;)
Anyone else thinking ‘Micro Camper’ here? 🤔
That's my plan with it! It'll be a mini-camper for camping shows like MK1Madness
That's the same thing I was thinking.
Tell Kevin to sell that truck already …
