@@SavingSalvage Copart damaging cars by poor handling?? Surely not ?? It's criminal the way they use forklifts the way they do. Looks like it was stolen and recovered as it was being stripped to be sold for spares

Get it up in the air see if there’s any underside damage indicative of rough joy riding before it was stripped out. If it’s all good I’d imagine the engine is just fine. Maybe you can order key set online and get it delivered despite the pandemic? Wait on the interior until the right breaker comes up. Get a temporary driver’s seat and perhaps some nice aftermarket wheels if the right ones don’t become available.
Hey I’ve recently done same thing with an Audi A1 got it with no keys minimal damage etc . I used AA key assist and if you give them the VIN they order the genuine key and the come to you and programme it there and then no need to take car to Audi dealer cost around £200 and you don’t have to be a member ..
Take it vagcom can't code keys and you need ignition on to get it to run for diagnostics. Which probably flag up boot open, no seat airbags etc. You'll make headway am sure. And couple of well known tyre firms will come out to you if you only bought replacement alloys. Found 4 alloys on ebay that might be useful.
I am not sure if you have purchased an interior 19.5.2020. Many years ago I purchased an interior from a lightly rolled escort from a breakers.it was a genuine purchase. I would surf the net nationwide, these things have a habit of turning up. I was at the GTI International, I was surprised the parts that were for sale be careful.
There’s a plug in obd reader on ebay that bypasses the immobiliser so you could unbolt the lock and use the black cap , saw it on a youtube video a while back. So you could then move it and hear engine, and i think i saw the locking nut to the left of the jack in the boot, could be wheel brace end if its bent though lol
Should look for a local lock smith to supply and code a key £100 a get them all the time should really invest in some lishi lock smith tools so can can get steering lock off while waiting worth having.
Saving Salvage I’ve just had an email from Copart stating this. Not sure if everyone got the email or just me cos I contacted the garage that serviced it to try get in touch with the last owner for the spare key.
VW polos are great cars please repair it dont seem to be a lot of body damage you'll be able to pick up some interior seating not sure about the wheels can be expensive but on the whole a nice car mine was a polo SE design 5 door 1.4 TDI blue motion on a 64 plate bought it brand new really miss it great video wouldn't like to guess how much you paid for your GTI
Really nice little Gti that, I’d just go ahead and get an interior for it and get a key ordered, I’m pretty sure VW parts can get an emergency order for a key for you, lot of Audi dealers have work shops open for emergency repairs or servicing
Hi there great project.....would you be able to help me please?....I am looking at purchasing a stolen recovered Toyota Yaris on a 61 plate but has no key 🔑 whatsoever....I have been advised it may need a new ecu and not worth the aggravation but do you recommend the chappy who supplied your key ? Many thanks Mark from Billericay 👍🚗
Ohhh that’s interesting my branch are still taking orders over the phone and meeting people outside sales counter is shut just operating outside out of curiosity what is your local branch ?
Looking forward to those videos, would really appreciate some in depth videos on repairs and reattaching panels. I’ve got one of these and my side sill has started to pull away like yours has would love to know how they’re fixed on so i can fix mine. Cheers
Better to be safe than sorry; wait to make sure all is well with the engine before delving into anything else. Key first. 7K (USD) for the auction price (not sure what the exchange rate is).
Hi saving salvage You have bought a car that bought attention to my eye as I have a 2011 polo 1.2 tdi any advice how i can get more power out of it as it doesn't pull like the gti polo
Nice buy, depending on the price obviously, should be a straight forward job. Just the result of some horrible little irk having a joyride and making fifty quid on the wheels and interior
If had to guess, £4500 you paid. Is it a DSG or manual, hard to tell. Does main dealer need the car to programme the key?! Used to be case I believe. Assume factory spacesaver one of ones on the car?! And two alloys on front worth selling after. Your body shop can do bumper. Maybe take whole car later for edge of the wing?! Believe 1.8 190 engine vast improvement and cambelt instead of chain. Really nice car though doesn't look it. 👌😀
its manual, yeah main dealer do have to do the key, also got to order a new key using the chassis number from vw! Yeah i wouldnt buy a GTi with the 1.4 engine. Horrible little things!
@@SavingSalvage I've always dabbled in salvage cars aswell. Never bought a straight car so far. Just started doing a few again to teach my son 👍👍. Good luck with it. We will look forward to the next video
Do nothing until you have the keys. I assume you have checked all the usual hide a key spots on the car. Low mileage might suggest an older person with older habits? Nice loking car so I guess you paid around £3800 Cheers, Bob
Nice car the polo gti. When i worked for VW it was one of my most enjoyable car to drive they are great fun. Hope all goes well with it? Looking fwd to your upcoming videos. Good luck...
I love. To have the talents that you have to able to rebuild a car like you do I am seriously impressed with your talent I would love to have your talents and abilities God bless you my friend
I’m lucky to have one of these. It’ll be an awesome little car once it’s all up together 👍 Will it be having a new different registration number? Just thinking whether it might be worth changing the lockset. If the car was stolen then judging by the absence of any damage to the ignition barrel the thieves must’ve stolen the key to it first and so may still have it out there somewhere.
I’ve done some research and it was on a private plate when it got stolen, it’s now back on its original plate so thieves will never know. Chances are that key is long thrown out anyway 👍🏽
@@SavingSalvage don't expect anything special - they're not but they are dangerous, poorly designed, cheaply made and cannot even go in a straight line safely - just watch American drag racing videos, lots of Muststinks into the wall. As you may gather, not a fan of the blue oval!
It’s just got that grey finger print stuff on that the police use.. on the new ones it’s all built in anyway so they wouldn’t gain much by trying to steal it.
I tried... but as I don’t have any keys they can’t cut a key, also car won’t let you program a new key without having at least 1 existing key. Only a dealer can program a complete new key 😔
Saving Salvage Funnily enough I’ve just bought a polo Gti damaged from co part with no key, I ordered my key from VW and had a friend with Odis code the key for me.
That front bumper damage on the splitter both sides looks to me like forklift spars from moving it around the salvage yard...
That’s a good shout to be fair! Which makes it annoying as copart have probably damaged it! 😡

It's mad how alloys make or break a car, those little Polo GTIs look bob on but it looks pants with those terrible temp ones on.
Hahaha that's very true.

Locking wheel nut was in with the jack. Great buy though..👍
Wait until you can get a key and have it started before ordering a load of parts, maybe the original owner has a key?
Peter Ferryman what is he going to do when the engine is bad? Throw the car away??? He has to fix it anyways might aswell order whats available...

Now you've bought a car that grabs my attention, this is a car with lots of heritage, nice buy mate vw polo gti wow
It is a VW start working on it, even if the engine has a problem its easy fixed being a VW.

I got exited, phoned them and unfortunately that’s not an option for the polo 😔.. they have to order it from vw like anyone could.
Saving Salvage Most frustrating thing is the spare key will probably be sat in someone’s kitchen draw somewhere ...
I've looked a few times for one of these, good luck with it 👍
Fingers crossed!

Yeh I would contact the previous owner via an address from the service history and see if they have the other key for it.
Tried, they sent it to insurance company who won’t talk to me :(
Copart frown on you contacting previous owner, if they find out they'll terminate your membership, it's their policy.
Has the service receipt you found got the previous owners details on it? If so contact them for the keys and any docs they might still have.
Im not allowed to do that *cough, already have, cough, they dont have the keys unfortunately*
Saving Salvage I’ve just had an email from Copart stating this. Not sure if everyone got the email or just me cos I contacted the garage that serviced it to try get in touch with the last owner for the spare key.
Copart emailed me also
yeah i got the email too! I replied asking why they sent me that email as i hadn't contacted anyone at that point haha

Just on a good note try your local tps dealer we are still open :) and parts are still being delivered daily :) hope that helps you
My local one said they are not open to public and won’t take payment over phone and not allowed in store. So generally useless 😂
Ohhh that’s interesting my branch are still taking orders over the phone and meeting people outside sales counter is shut just operating outside out of curiosity what is your local branch ?
Would you take a quick twist and sell it now ?
Hi I’d say it’s worth the risk to order the interior.
Might as well get the interior, if it all goes wrong you can sell them again for pretty much the same price
Very true
That Covonia is a real score!
would be nice to see when its all done.
Looking forward to those videos, would really appreciate some in depth videos on repairs and reattaching panels. I’ve got one of these and my side sill has started to pull away like yours has would love to know how they’re fixed on so i can fix mine.
Cheers
just buy a driver seat only for now, fix the key then search for a complete gti interior
taking it easy and get some wheels
Looking around there’s only really full interiors for sale. Would be difficult to buy seperatley
@@SavingSalvage I mean just slap in any driver seat (anything that's fits) at this moment so that at least you can sit and drive the car normally 😊
Love the Polo GTI, hope you do some mods to it
The polo is looking good mate
What do you do when you don’t have keys? Also how much would it cost
Better to be safe than sorry; wait to make sure all is well with the engine before delving into anything else. Key first. 7K (USD) for the auction price (not sure what the exchange rate is).
Call a mobile key cutting service give them your reg and they can cut and program you a key and send your key in the post
Tried a few, they all say has to be a dealer ordered key unfortunately 😔
Order key service kit set of decent wheels an little bit of tlc an then ye got a tidy little motor 💯👍🏻
As regards to the front drivers wing if I remember correctly it’s Dubbled skinned
i wish to see one episode with all small things whats needs to be done to complete mensioned cars in 100%, and then we have mustang and new project
So mite need filling and spraying
Any chance of getting the spare off the previous owner??
Tried, they sent it to insurance company who won’t talk to me
Saving Salvage That blows! 😡
Hi saving salvage
You have bought a car that bought attention to my eye as I have a 2011 polo 1.2 tdi any advice how i can get more power out of it as it doesn't pull like the gti polo
A remap will give you another 10-15% more power, but if it’s only a 1.2tdi you’re not going to get buckets of power out of it
Looks good, def get the key first
For now just make sure the engine can move by hand and order the keys.
With or without the engine you bought it so you oughta fix it. Might aswel order what you can.
Easy turn around that 👍🏻💯
Love your video buddy !
Thankyou 👍🏽
I would get an interior, even if it needs an engine you can always see if one in a rear collision came up at copart and use its engine
Bout time you got a VW on your channel lol😂 Looking forward to this one.
I would wait until you get the key as you don't know if everything works fine
Really doubt there will be anything wrong engine with such low mileage but if there was you could always drop a golf r or rs3 engine and make it fly 😁
good point...
Looks like it hasn’t been sat in.....for a while. Gti check interior makes these imo...no idea how easy they are to get
Great project , would like something like that myself .
Nice buy, depending on the price obviously, should be a straight forward job. Just the result of some horrible little irk having a joyride and making fifty quid on the wheels and interior

11:13 - its a manual.
Definitely get the key first good luck mate
That is in very good condition looking forward to the videos
I will love to know how much polo cost I am interested
It’s in the video 😊
what's the mileage and did u find any service history in the car?
mileage is 23k and yes full VW service history with receipts
@@SavingSalvage Amazing u should do well on that pal easy over 9gs I did see if it was DSG or Manuel. The RS3 will u sell that anytime soon?
That was a clever way to get it on the ramp
That’s was the only way 😂
never mind the service history mate....if they rallied the nuts off it you could be screwed.....best of luck with it 👍
Nice project car which looks like a quick turn car, I reckon £6k given low mileage and minimal damage
I’m thinking maybe flood damage? There is a awful lot of mud in and on that car
These cars are awesome perfect for young lads fast and cheap to insure as a second
Looks like a good wee car. Hope it runs when you get a key sorted. Do you do this for a hobby or are you a part time trader??
Used to be my job being a technician. Rebuilding cars is a hobby though 👍🏽
@@SavingSalvage I've always dabbled in salvage cars aswell. Never bought a straight car so far. Just started doing a few again to teach my son 👍👍. Good luck with it. We will look forward to the next video

Good luck...
Thanks 👍
They are a nice car when done but looks like no driver shaft passenger side think they was going to take the door off as well
Make sure the engine is good first !!
See if engine turns over then if ok order interior and wheels!
Hey man if u need a cheap key search smart key London he can hook you up for cheap 👍🏻👍🏻
With the lift it would have been good to see the underside, but maybe for a future video!
Vw are still delivering in most areas
Nice project really! I wish I have one just now... bored as hell
Check it runs first.
Given we are all going to have a lot of time on our hands I would be inclined to wait before ordering the interior unless you find one really cheap...
I love. To have the talents that you have to able to rebuild a car like you do I am seriously impressed with your talent I would love to have your talents and abilities God bless you my friend
Thanks!
Wrap Car Roof (black), new wheels (black),maybe stage 1 😁 that’s is my opinion 😉
A S you’re kind of car guys makes me sick. WRAPPING YOURE ROOF BLACK DOES NOT MAKE YOU COOL. FFS Buy a car with a panoramic roof.
Madern Bro this is wrecked car and need to look sick it’s not new car to choose pnr roof or anything 😉
Of course test it and see if it is worth it!
Doing a great job mate, keep it up, I reckon with fees you paid £7500
Looks a corker let’s hope engine all good . Looking forward to this one
You and me both!
Definitely wait for the key, don't gamble to much with your hardworking money
Brilliant work thanks for the content

Really I’m shocked at that but I guess they know. Worth a try though. Love you videos mate keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
Looking forward to this one. Amazing what a quick wash can do 🤣 guessing 4k to 5k
the head unit looked like itd been pryed out
It’s just got that grey finger print stuff on that the police use.. on the new ones it’s all built in anyway so they wouldn’t gain much by trying to steal it.
@@SavingSalvage yeah the actual head units in the glove box 🤣
Think I saw this one go for around £3500k plus fees
About 6 grand i reckon
Wait till you get a key and see if the engine runs
Nice one recon bargain at 3000 not inc fees
Nice motors,my guess out the door £4350
Engine first interior second 👍
I guess 2k?
