She's looking fantastic mate. 😎 Won't be long now.
Its coming along nicely Dan.
Looking great and your energy for the project is fantastic keep it up
Dan you are doing brilliant job keep up the good work love it
Glad I applied a bit of Arthur Tussik and repaired my chassis rails. Drilled the spot welds, hammered them all true again, welded them back on. Near 60 quid each from Heritage and they aren't even the same as the originals.
Fair enough. Mine were rotten and split in places.
Good progress mate.
Another great vid Dan...
Coming together mate 👌🏼
Brilliant stuff Dan loving this MK1 Golf stuff still
nice job as usual!
Hello Dan a great work 👍👍👍👍from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋 Kai✌️
Getting there Dan, won't be long!
Decent, coming along noice Dan 👌🏻
Fabulous man,fabulous!!!
This was the first of your videos I've seen...It's nice to see how many parts are available for the Mk1 Golf. The ones I see in the US are pretty well trashed...makes me want to save a couple! lol I'll have to go back to the first video and start over. You got a new subscriber.
Thank you for watching! So many parts are available for them! You could pretty much build a shell from scratch! Thank you for subscribing.
I gotta say man you are doin a fantastic job on this lol cutie pie of a car
Hi Dan. It's all your fault! After watching your videos about the VW Transporter and being inspired to have a go myself, I finally got my van and enjoying the process of changing it to my own specification. Cheers buddy.
Best Regards
Sorry about that!!!!
Hi Dan hope you read all your comments, please try some pu sealer on that aerosol primer , do a test piece , as some sealers don’t stick to weld through primer , I found this out the hard way , upol tiger sealer peeled off some upol zinc weld through primer . You’ve done a great job of rebuilding the shell . 👍🏻
Cheers for the tip bud. I am planning on stripping the primer on as many area's as I can to be able to apply a good primer anyway.
@@DanChambersDAC nice to hear , a good 2k epoxy would be far superior to any aerosols 👍🏻
Great work Dan, you make this welding lark look easy!
Looking good Dan that shell is really coming together now can't wait to see it in paint
Coming along so well man!! 👀🤘
Loving the vids mate and your work is spot on 😉😉😉😉😉🙌😂✋
You are right Dan , it's an unbelievable channel , it's looking good...... Really appreciate your time and energy to keep us updated
Thank you so much bud!
Your getting there dude ..ive told my mates uncles sisters mothers dads son about your channel lol 😂👍
🤣 Cheers bud!
That light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer man, another couple of months I reckon you’ll be there, great work mate, you look so happy 👍
Nutserts are a cleaner look
subbed,keep up the good work fella.
Another very interesting video Dan!
Love watching your progress
👍👊
Looking good Dan 👍 it's really coming along now stay safe looking forward to the next one 👍 🍺
I'm looking forward driving this in the summer, lil cruise down to caffeine and machine will be sweet 👌🙏
You know it brother. Gonna be so satisfying cruising over there.
Always interesting! Waiting for my DAC Hoodie to show whos to follow on yt.
Thank you so much for ordering bud. Hopefully will arrive soon. Brexit is messing up deliveries.
Fair play wish I could say I was at this stage 😩😩😩 good work bud credit to you 🔨👌😎
Looking good buddy! It’s getting there👍🏼
Been watching salvage rebuilds uk who have just brought a mk1 golf cab so I’ve got 2 channels with mk1 progress to watch
Cheers bud. Yeah saw they had got one. Don't think it will be as much work as mine!
Water will get into those chassis rails one way or another, best to let it find an easy way out
Think the chassis rails with the OE holes in will prevent moisture better, even if it’s full of wax, if it’s also full of moisture it will rot something out
Just my thoughts on it
Ok Cheers. I was thinking if it was all sealed ETC moisture couldn't get in there🤷♂️
@@DanChambersDAC anything underneath is going to get moisture in it mate, it’s why they had the drain holes, just let’s moisture escape and the wax to do it’s job 👍🏻
👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely Jubbly, is it going back to original VW red or a custom colour, or not thought that far ahead yet Dan
Cheers bud. Going back to factory Mars Red!
Hi Dan, I will be doing a MK1 Cabriolet build, would you advise if I should use a rotisserie to rotate the car and do the floors. reason I am asking is its structurally weaker as it has no roof?? would bracing the body help.. thanks Jose from South Africa
Hi Dan, how come the Heritage chassis rails came with half of the detail missing? Was it an error? 🤔
Not too sure. Maybe cost, Maybe better?
what thickness of plate did you use for your patches
Body patches I use 1mm and for the chassis area's I am using 2mm.
@@DanChambersDAC thanks
Looks Great! How much is left to weld?!
Cheers bud. Not too much now bud. Hopefully get it finished in the next couple of months.
Dan, what work light do you use? It’s super bright.
Hi bud, I use this one. www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637743720/12-smd-led-1w-smd-led-rechargeable-slim-folding-inspection-lamp
