I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t get any Golf parts in Bradford with the amount of them being stolen every week. It’s the stolen car capital in UK.
Sweet sweet bonus with the deal with all those extras and front end sections. The repair, whilst definitely costly, isn’t massively technical with the majority being bolt off & on parts. The areas most requiring specialist skill being the paint and the door repair/paint. It will look mint when back together and the right colour. Question is ….. how far are you gonna go with the performance of this baby? The 27.5 purchase price doesn’t seem that great with the added bits and bobs - so you could potentially invest a few notes in turning it into something a wee bit tastier than stock performance ones. Make for good content too. But yeah I think you’ve got a decent enough buy there - not bad at all.
I’m definitely loving the content, I bought my first rebuild project and it was a right lemon 🍋 😂but never mind I think it will make good content. I think il need more than a Brad pack 😂
i bought a golf r estate 7.5 and boy does it go that i got 3 points on my driving licence 2 weeks later lol and just received 3 more points , i have calmed right down now but it kept up with a golf r brand new lol good luck in yours .
It’s horrible to see how much brittle plastic is in the new age stuff. I get why, but look at the state of it for what is a fairly low key shunt. Dead interesting to watch you repair to be honest, thanks for taking the bullet first up!
Another awesome video buddy! One of my fave cars so watching this series very keenly! P.s is it worth asking Matt to share your videos like Taverish does for his? Might help your subs!!
I reckon you have to get the front end complete first, then move on to the interior. And what have you done with the smashed up bumper? If you haven’t binned it already I’d be interested.
Your a brave man playing with airbag connections with battery still coupled up mate 🙈 but keep up the hard work it's looking good and what a nice car it will be when it's finished 👍
You content is absolutely class! It’s all car car car building, no messing, it’s really grown on me over time and now you stand completely on your own right! Where’s the Merch? Massive Mat fan, and glad to see you doing so well.
Sure you can get rid of the bonnet stay and replace it with a gas strut think it would be much better, loving this car bit of a steal coming with all the parts 😂
hi chris, love the videos, looking forward to this build. just as a heads up, you might wanna upgrade your battery to an agm one, the efb batteries are notoriously known to be a bit crap. i have a new one that i got replaced under warranty if you're interested
Best video to date, good hard work into this one and you have deffo upped your game, very well delivered, great videoing, perfect delivery, you looked way more comfortable
Chris you have smashed it on this channel. mat does tons of exotic cars and you focus on cars the average working man can buy. the perfect balance. you two have something good here. it is my dream too be able too do this. consider yourself lucky man!
@@Chris_Slix man don't wanna be that guy but. any tips for someone with low experience and wants too start working on cars? I have too small of a garage and my driveway has a big angle. live in a small town that does not have much auto shops.
There are lots of hidden systems, features and driving modes that you will find in the info system so you can tune the car to your own taste. Plus the Adaptive Cruise Control and lane keep assist on these Golf’s are really good. You car might have park assist where it can park into a bay without you doing the steering but it was an option so you might soon find out if it was specked on your car 😊

See above I take this is a blag about free prize 🏆
Someone is trying to scam me again as well as episode 1 and still no response from you
Does this car get Category S even after all this rework?
@markbyronoperationlandscap4231 hi did you get a response from Chris? I have been trying to tell him for 2 weeks and nothing!!
I wish I could get one
Can you do another shopping for parts video I really enjoyed that.
I love this type of content. I'm not a mechanic at all, I just love watching. Especially when I own a mk7 R myself
Love that 😊 hopefully helps you understand your car better too!
Mat Armstrong has been quiet lately, your videos are filling in well 👍 keep up the good work 👌
Thumbnails identical too 😑 thought I clicked an Armstrong video 😂
His videos are better than Mats, they get straight to the point
@@Know3odyhahaha me too
@@kurtabrahams4456ye ok lol
Mat is some what lacking on the consistancy of his videos lately.
Things that come with the fame i think 🤷🏼♂️
Gone to Bradford for golf GTI parts, anybody missing a golf GTi?🤣🤣
lol some poor lad without the front end of his GTI 😂
He doesn't know what he's doing this is just entertainment too funny 😊😊
Haters gunna hate 🤷🏽♂️ sill gets payed off muppets like u still watchin 🖕🏽

thought you were mugged off for that price until you showed the whole front end you got included with the deal! looks like a winner 👍
Haha had to keep a little secret in the bag didn’t i 😅
Aftermarket parts for the win! Save yourself some money!
Nice one mate, didn't know you made videos aswell.
Got another sub, keep up the good work!
Chris should have over a 100k subscribers Top content from him 👍👍👍👌👌🇬🇧☝️
Definitly made up with those parts! Liked the video before i even watched it, keep up the vids man so entertaining! 100k soon :D

Well done mate u doing a good job keep it up love watching your video just like your mate Matt Armstrong
When you get to it, are you able to show how you wire the front grille LED back into the BCM?
Nicee rebuild chris. Looks like plenty of plastics to be removed
Great video and work. Look forward to next one. 👍👍👍👍
Love your content mate!! End project gonna be sick. Howzit from South africa
Hey Chris, I am always excited to see your's and Mat's videos.
Hope I can visit you guys some time. Greetings from Germany
Surprised Mat don’t do a collab with you as as your mate he could help your channel
What a great deal on your MK8, it's going to be better than new when it's done.
Cracking job Chris made up it’s all going well mate 👍
Oh Chris mate, the timing of this upload was perfect. Just got my food, started searching for a video and saw your upload. Cheers pal
Enjoy your dinner :)

Another banger. There is a few channels i watch every video and this is one of them. Never disappoints.
Will this car once completed be up for sale ? Would love to have this !
quick question. how do you remember what screws go where?
Great vid chris...real life car videos
Thank you!
Very satisfying video Chris, nice work
Thanks for the discount code
Hopefully all downhill from here Chris. Great video once again.
😂😂I like your videos bro
Another awesome video buddy!
One of my fave cars so watching this series very keenly!
P.s is it worth asking Matt to share your videos like Taverish does for his? Might help your subs!!
That’s one slick air box Cris clove it mate 😊😊
always Bradford or Birmingham
😂😂😂
@@Chris_Slix were cars go to die or get repaired
This was a sweet deal Chris👌👌👌
Any plans for exterior mods? Not too fond of them in standard form but I reckon they could look decent with a few choice parts!
Not sure what yet but definitely something 😅
I reckon you have to get the front end complete first, then move on to the interior. And what have you done with the smashed up bumper? If you haven’t binned it already I’d be interested.
The bradpack as a bradfordian it made me giggle
Chris these videos are really great
Loving this build and this channel in general. Keep up the great work Chris.
Your a brave man playing with airbag connections with battery still coupled up mate 🙈 but keep up the hard work it's looking good and what a nice car it will be when it's finished 👍
Don’t know why Matt Armstrong can’t do a shout out for your channel and help you out. You should have more subscribers

Dig the hat. Vids cool too 😜

Racing line have supplied me a gas strut too but didnt want to put it on that bonnet 😅😂
Nice video chris and good luck with the rest of the rebuild✌️
You also need the airbag module , which must be the exact same part number as your old one
Another great video Chris, making good progress so quick. Looking forward to the next video already.
Nice video and the inner rails are straight and OK. Good buy and great to see a performance company helping out. Would say this one you should keep.
Does your mates girlfriend know he's wearing her jeans to work on your car 🫣🤣
Do the front end first Chris. Hopefully finding a dash won't take long..!!
Love seeing hot hatches get rebuilt and modded. Waaaaay more relatable than something like a lambo!!!
Deal of the year nice one ☝️
That rad pack is defo off a stolen car
hi chris, love the videos, looking forward to this build. just as a heads up, you might wanna upgrade your battery to an agm one, the efb batteries are notoriously known to be a bit crap. i have a new one that i got replaced under warranty if you're interested
Great channel, a bit serious 😂 where the cheeky bits!! 😅
New subscriber here, love the videos. Hope you blow up as much as Matt Armstrong has, keep em coming.
Best video to date, good hard work into this one and you have deffo upped your game, very well delivered, great videoing, perfect delivery, you looked way more comfortable

@@Chris_Slix man don't wanna be that guy but. any tips for someone with low experience and wants too start working on cars? I have too small of a garage and my driveway has a big angle. live in a small town that does not have much auto shops.
got to be interior next .
You still got done over!!!🤦🏽♂️
I'm really enjoying this build as it's more relatable than some of the supercars on TH-cam! Coming on nicely Chis!!
Nothing worse than a gapping hole in the bottom 😂 great job Chris 🇬🇧💪🏻
Wow 😅😂
Good content keep it up bro✌️
Doing well mate good watch this mate
@chris_slix is this real !
Great video Chris 👌
Content is great, with the parts it’s a ok deal.
Amazing job! Hopefully next we see complete interior work 👌🏽
What?? Lisa didnt get you to get the Carbon R600 :) It definitely looks the part

Chris I’m really feeling a 911 Turbo next
Honestly my bank balance is saying more toyota aygo 😂
@@Chris_Slix 🤣 I would still watch
I’m enjoying these videos, great work Chris 👍🏻
Great video well done 😊
Great to see your progress over the yrs Chris. Brilliant editing, content and humour! Keeping it real 👍
Thanks james! Hope you are well 😊
Chris brother getting better and better good seeing you grow keep up the hard work lad
Half way through this video and wondering why it’s a cat s?
Im still thinking the same thing now 😅😂 seems such a waste of a perfectly good car
I had the r600 on my mk7. You can still hear it. Maybe not as much as an open kit
racing line stuff is £££££££££££
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦
Great video and series mate. Looking forward to seeing this back on the road. Love the golf r platform
Hats happening with the Jag... Are you selling it 🤔
Will have to soon yeah 😊
What a guy
Right back at ya!
This built series is starting to get interesting, hopefully by the end of this built the 8R will be a beast...
Chris u live near me
If it had a VR6 twin turbo I would purchase the Golf 8 R.
Had a MK4 Deep Blue Pearl R32, wish I still had it and did lose it to a flood 😢
Sort the bags next
Wonder who’s stolen GTI that rad pack is off👀🤣. If it’s from Bradford is definitely from a chop shop🤣
Comfort windows is normally called global closure and its been standard on MOST cars since the mk3 mondeo !!!!
GOOD VIDEO ❤!
Was it a brand new 2nd hand Bradpack 😂
You could say that 😅😂
I’m enjoying this build good on you Chris 👌
Your videos are now getting better and better...epic 💪
Glad you like them!
This is why people have the cars stripped down while parked its a druggie car anyway 🤣
25k that’s a lot bro just for those parts
Surprised you never made a comment about everyone trying to get scammed on previous episode
Anyone from bradford missing the front end of their mk8? 😂😂
Who ate all the pie's 😊😊😊
You did by the looks🤣
