I hope you really get more subs! Your enthusiasm is infectious! Watching this faithfully on TikTok and here. Muscle cars are my thing but all vehicles have potential!
I know what you mean about everything from the firewall back is "junk." I picked up a somewhat beat up 09 Jetta for its CBEA heart, and once I raided the wiring and other parts needed, it was pretty much a shell nobody wanted.
how much did it cost? i got a quote from a guy for $12k-15k to do the job with all parts included. i used to do jobs like that myself but for something this ambitious i want to trust it with someone that has done it before.
@@vgrepairs I had Eurowise Performance put my in! All I had was the engine, transmission, axle and engine mounts and Wiring harness and radiator. $3400.00 for turn key running. That's coolant plumbing. Turbo plumbing exhaust turned down pipe and Exhaust and wiring.
This is such a great series of videos, I really wanna see how this car project goes. Your videos are really good. Keep tearing it my guy, you earned a sub.
@taalfthorpe7498 ended up putting a transmission and turbo on the "donor" tdi and have been daily driving it while I finish up a different mk4. Mk2 hasn't been touched in a while, im considering all mk4 4cyl engines for swaps at this point. If anything pops up cheap I'll move on it 🤣
Dude I’m Your area… would love to help, lol am best described as unskilled as far as what you are doing but would love to learn… anyway I enjoy your content…
Do you people wanna laugh? Here in Argentina, a 2006 VW Beetle (2.0L, 'cause I couldn't find a TDI for sale), with 115.000 kilometers (72.000 miles), if you pay cash, it goes for............. $12,200 dollars!!
mexico manufactures many vehicles for VW and nissan, why arent those vehicles cheaply exported between latin american countries? pressure from higher paying markets like the USA?

Can't wait to see more of this!
Yo definitely keep the vids coming. You have big potential to be a big youtuber! Dont stop posting vids
Finally a creator who still puts out good informational content like the old days

Best way to swap is the whole donor car try not to sell off stuff you might need lol
Looking forward for future videos!! Can’t wait to see how this build turns out.
I got the 2003 TDI SWAP in my mk1 Caddy! It’s awesome, MPG it gets 47 city 65 highway! 580 miles too the tank!! 12 gallons!

What do you need to buy from copart? And what STATE steps do you need to have to get it “road legal”? I’m from Colorado so I’m sure it’s different.
Keep posting
What you doing with the stock 1.6 driveline?
Why did you put BEW in it and not the ALH? The ALH was far more reliable.
Truth is, I just prefer the BEW. I’ve driven both and liked the BEW so much more
"But it do have a slight dent in it"

Is that a 5.0 I see
fyi the beetle you showed was a gas turbo S lol the turbo S never came diesel
ASZ and BLT are the best in terms of 1.9
I’d agree but we never got those stateside 🤷🏻♂️
