In this video I took an neglected car that was very rough and needed a lot of work and after some long hours and hard work transformed it into something renewed and restored. I repaired the vehicle and it took some effort to get it back working but it was worth it. it was a great transformation

Loved this. I like a lot of the American stuff too, but so many of them just casually use massive garages full of thousands of dollars worth of tools to do their "budget" projects, whereas this is much more realistic for most people.
..AA.??.
.
1700 for 11 hours labour. Well done, that's mighty going.
Great video too!
Yes! Thank you!
time went into researching the market, buying the car which includes transport etc, time spent selling it.... it's not that easy
@@ArdaiThomasPoker hes still made more than what some people make in a week

It's been a while lol, fantastic transformation of what was a very tired looking car.
Yes it was, thanks bro
TODAY i bought golf II 1500€
Great transformation good job 👍
@@Mad4Motors_ Hi, may I know what were the cleaning agents you used to clean the side door panels and the seat fabrics?
I absolutely love these. Bringing back life to a battered mundane car.
Dirt 3!
Another cracking video mate, always such a pleasure to watch. And so satisfying to see these cars being flipped and looking so good by the end of the video. Nice work dude!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again
This video are amazing I wish that you would upload more frequently
U havent even watched thw whole vid ywt lol
I say that too, but he needs time on most of his videos
Even at 3100 EUR, I still think was way too cheap. You should have asked for 4k!! Looks absolutely M I N T.
id recommend refurbing/painting calipers when you do these.
as an enthusiast seeing orange/brown brakes on an otherwise spotless car is a big giveaway the the car is just a flip
wat colour would you have painted them
@@paulaocallaghan1189 just a basic silver. they dont need to stand out. they need to look clean
Watching all your videos and giving it a like and watching ads without skipping is the best I can do to support you as I really appreciate your content and it’s no bs editing
Hey appreciate it, thanks for watching
Great turnaround. New lease of life for golf and a stuffed wallet 👌
Well done, great job 👍. I've never seen a door skin removed before.
I had a few off before, thanks for watching!
i have octavia 1.gen and i see it very often :DD
most are welded to door frame but some cars have it just screwed to door frame like this golf
I recommend always lifting the wipers up when cleaning the car, usually all sorts of crap get stuck under them.
Nice video, good job
Always tighten wheel lugnuts in a star pattern! Also use a torque wrench!
Shut up Karen
@@mikixP don’t cry when your wheel falls off then 🤣🤣
Never done that in my life and never had a problem.
Hes not wrong; its just common sense to fasten any assembly in a sequence that spreads the load. No need for a torque wrench though, you can just do it by feel
@@mikixP everyone one is a Karen nowadays.
Huh, seems especially you, too.
You gave it away man lol, you should have held out for 4k. It looked unreal. Those wheels looked brand new. Great work and hope to see more flips.
@@Frank_Pods Selling a car for what it’s worth after putting a lot of hours into it isn’t greedy.
Been watching you for a while doing a great job.
This is what I do as a hobby. My best flip so far a 800 quid audi in limp mode which needed a damaged sensor wire repair which was a free repair for me, sold it after a good clean up with new mats for 2500 after only spending 25 quid on mats. Very satisfied customer which was the main thing for me. I don't sell on rubbish, must be HPI CLEAR FSH, perfect to drive and clean as a whistle.
unreal. I am thinking of starting too, but if the customer asks why are you selling or whats the history or how well has it been looked after what do you say? That you just buy them to sell on? and whats that like? cheers
@@hughoneill6555 Once I've gone through the car and im happy it's top notch I either explain I bought it needing some tlc or I say I knew the last owner via a friend (a little white lie I know to provide some confidence from the buyer, which either way won't make a dot of difference to the car itself at all in reality just makes them feel better) and they wanted to sell it on quickly when they bought a newer car. At the end of the day what ever the "story" behind a car any car has the potential to be a nightmare or a dream for the next owner because things go wrong or maybe not. All you can do as a seller is find and fix anything at that time and sell on a good honest car. And if you think a dealership or independent car showroom does anything differently you would be wrong. They may however offer a warranty which I bet 98% of claims are denied due to being "wear and tear" and therefore not covered.
@@LAW-fv6ys perfectly answered and I really appreciate it. And what's the best with vat and tax does it matter if it doesn't have it? And should I add them on when selling it?
@@hughoneill6555 you only need vat registration if you earn above 81k profit. Tax? On the car no, and its not transferable anyway. I am a registered trader (part time or full it's the same really as far as hmrc is concerned), if you sell a few car a year I wouldn't bother, hmrc are really interested and it's only the profit that you have to pay tax on. Above 7 or 8 a year I would register. There is no hard and fast rule, by the book hmrc want their cut if you make any type of profit from anything.. simple.
Never seen a door skin removed like that before. Nice one
The man who sold it to you is shaking rn😂
Man, this channel deserves a lot more subscribers!
Well done, fantastic little makeover!
Deffo need more of these full transformation/selling vids. Very entertaining keep it up 🤙🏼
Thanks! Working on it
It is always good to see the video you just released, this is no exception. Thanks!
hey thanks 👍
great to see ya back again , love watching what you can do
hey thanks 👍
bought my mk5 2.0 tdi for £1000 and has had 0 issues and in pretty good condition for it being a 2004, good video man!
Good job mate 👍
Thanks 👍
You rock Mr Mad4Motors - keep em coming!
Great video this is what i have been doing for 7 years and this video helped me because i wanted to start restoring the rims better. I am good at detailing but never got into restoring the wheels that good. Now i know what to do thanks!!
You're a good Lad for taking 3100. Good salesmanship 👍
I m watching your videos times and times again
First video of yours i've watched and i'm very impressed. Fantastic video and commentary.
if you can do this 3 times a month, thats 5100 euros.. and at least in the Netherlands that would be tax free so its more like your making 8-9000 a month. Thats pretty amazing, great videos!
Another great job 👍 well done 👏 I really appreciate the hard work you put in to these car's I look forward to your next project...
Thank you for not using annoying music. Subscribed.
It was really fun to watch the work. Great video.
Just found this channel. Loving you work. You make it look easy.
LOVE 💗💗💗 this format!!!
Thank you !
OK, this transformation is just incredible, man!!
Looked brand new when you finished with it. Great video, nice job.
Brilliant video, I have always wanted to do something like this!
Decided to tip my toe in the water 1st lockdown.. was good fun and a nice side hustle.
Flipping a car is a big box gor me to tick
Great video, some transformation in that car! The offer the buyer gave was some job, on top of the fact you had only just posted it. Serious result!
Really enjoyed the video congratulations on the job 👍
Down to your point videos I ve started my self to buy fix and resell cars .
Awesome, glad to see a poor car became a excellent by ur hand.
Top man the best on TH-cam, good videos clear and well shot
Hey thank you!
Fantastic job there. This video is almost 17 minutes long and it flew by when I watched it. I have this car's Czech cousin - a Skoda Octavia II. Cheers from India
Was good to see that when you saw a problem you fixed it. So many people would see a problem and hide it. Good job.
Yeah it was a tricky one, got it sorted though, thanks for watching👍
People can learn alot from this, great snd simple video
If I am buying a car, I recommend a 'not' cleand engine bay!
This.
What? So you can spot oil leaks or something?
@@IGotsBadFeeling Exactly, oil or any other fluids can easily be seen when the engine's dirty. You might even be able to spot where they are coming from and know exactly what the issue is.
Great vid , you certainly know wot your on about when it comes to buying, how much to spend on a car ,and dealing with potential buyers . Good commentary again ..
hey thanks 👍
Perfect video.
It would be super nice to have a video about your full paint gun setup.
They come ready to spray straight out of the box nowadays! Thanks for watching
Enjoyed that. It reminds me I must visit Ireland again soon👍
That's really brilliant. Well done. Starters, I've learned are generally easy to replace. The paint equipment is kind of daunting, though.
This looks FANTASTIC!
Great job buddy and a very healthy profit!
Great video as usual man👍👍
Top video mate, I second that you should be uploading more often
hey thanks 👍
Nice to see a new video and a great transformation.
Fantastic motor, always regret selling mine. Great job looked well!
I would definetly recommend you to use a clay bar before polishing the car - that alone would easily take care of the black spots 👍
This was a good episode well done 👏
11:34 funny enough a cleaned engine bay on a used car is a major red flag for many buyers because it indicates that the car had some type of major mechanical issue that the owner couldn't solve. They try to clean up the engine to make it seem healthy on the surface but they might be hiding something like an oil leak or headgasket leak (although you'll notice these things with other signs as well)
Yeah I agree, but he didn't actually clean the engine and engine bay up, I would say he only removed the worst dust and cobwebs from being parked for over a year.
If the rest of the car is spotless then it just makes it look like it's been thoroughly detailed. But a spotless engine bay on an otherwise filthy car would be a red flag to me though, for sure.
Awesome EP you made me sub. Also loved the starlet EP
Just found your channel
Sub'd & Liked all I've watched.
Thank you, it takes hard work to film and edit, nevermind doing the repairs and improvements.
Congrats.
Found you as I'm interested in the Van Builds.
But everything is Quality.
XXXX to you & yours.
Great job man! The car looks like a new. ^^
Great video once again. It just goes to show that with a bit of time, effort, research and confidence , anyone can achieve great results.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I've just stumbled across your channel, subscribed!
Grate video, hats of to ya, hope you do more like this. 👍
Wow great transformation 👏
Great video mate amazing finish on the car.
Yes yes my man waiting for a while for one of these videos!!
More to come! Thanks
A real inspiration. I’ve just bought an Alfa Romeo MiTo for £700 from auction worth £3000. In the process of pulling out dents, body filler, primer and painting. Hoping to get £2500 with full service and mot
Nice work, good to see you back
Hey, thanks!
Can you do more videos like this please?! 🙏❤
Loved this video, subbed!.
Good job mate well explained
Great to watch your vlogs well worth the wait
hey thanks 👍
These videos are great!
This looked like magic . Good job !
Thanks You
Brilliant job!!
Enjoyable to watch. 👍🏼
Ive refurbished and sold a lot of alloy wheels myself, its a fun hobby
Good to hear, thanks!
It would be nice to have a talent like yours. Excellent job.
Excellent job Mate, Car looked brilliant.
hey thanks for watching again👍
your videos are great very informative and simple to understand! thankyou for making them please can you make a video in depth about repairing and removing rust on a car for example a golf mk5 with the famous rusty arches issue thanks again
wow! that looks like brand new!
Love your vids bro keep up the good work
Nice transformation 👍
Fantastic transformation 😍
Good job!
In some countries, like Italy, this flipping process is fairly hard, since you'll spend between 400 and 700 euros just for the paperwork, and on an old car this may represent the potential profit
Move to Ireland then 👍
in Italia qualsiasi attività imprenditoriale è fairly hard hahaha
Yeah same here
same in my country but maybe even worse, when you buy car you need to register it in your name and we have fees for the power of the car in Kw which means if you want to buy something with power lets say something with 200Kw you will pay 2300€ only for this fee alone plus you need to include year of the car so lets say 2300€ * 0,12 for 12 years old car which makes it 2576 + 70€ for plates..... absolutely insane
@@BrucePain-_- what country? And what if you buy like E60 M5 ?
Superb video.
With 180k you did really well to get 3100 euro. In England it would have been quite a bit less. Nice job.
Great video! Keep them coming! Greetings from Co.Mayo!
Mayo nice spot, thanks for watching!
Really nice work, really good Flip :)
Good one mate, bought MK5 Golf GT 2.0 TDI as non runner for £300 spent £900 total and sold it for £2900, it was low mileage 97k. Changed all 4 door locks, EGR Valve And Throttle Body and bits and bobs
120 a steal for four alloy wheels with decent tyres on them. Great find and nice job touching them up.
So satisfying to watch
Good job. Car looked very nice when done.
Yes, thanks 👍
Nice work 👍🏽
Amazing content mate just subscribed
Alloy wheels.
The best way to win a customer.
Very profitable business,congratulation!
Great turnaround nd great job! its like night and day afterwards! prices in IRL must be mad, i sold my immaculate '06 gttdi (170) for 1200 over in scotland couple years ago! another great vid, thanks!
Prices are on the up here with bre xit! thanks for watching
