Fair play 👏 nobody is doing good quality videos like this. Having pride in your work (whatever you are working on) is so important 👍 would happily watch you work on anything 10/10 👌
Hey bud thank you super appreciate the kind words 👍 I like to give the same effort for all jobs, most customers appreciate and enjoy their vehicles so I do the same as if it was my own.
I remember the scrapage scheme, there was a lad on TH-cam who went through what cars got scrapped and it was a crying shame on what cars got scraped, but then on the others hand there is you who is saving cars from been scraped. Another great video, I thing the old lady will love the car
Cracking job there Nathan and thank you for the video. Your friend's mum will be over the moon. Your 100% right about perfectly decent cars being scrapped under the scrappage scheme - crying shame. There's no way current cars will last anywhere near as long, not be anything like as trouble free as that Golf. Another bonus for the Golf owner is that in ten years it will be road tax exempt. Hope you have a great weekend mate 👍.
Hey Karl 👍 thank you, yes so many good cars got scrapped and now we are left with the modern crap that just doesn’t last. I wondered how long till it was exempt, it will definitely still be a round this one was alright. You have a great weekend to mate 🙏👍
Looks good Nath. No need to squint. Looks a million miles better at the end than it did at the start. Good job. Nice to do the extras.. Great work ethic m8. Looking forward to the 6 Caddy videos 😂😂😂
Thanks for replying to me moment been watching your videos for a few months now and there really interesting love the work on the caddy’s your a proper down to earth guy you made me want to get caddy van now 👍🏻
Hey Paul you’ve taken the time to comment so the least I can do is reply 👍, glad you’ve found the channel and enjoy the videos 🙏, I’m a big fan of vw’s of this era and my caddy is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned I’m glad the following on them is growing after the videos. You can do everything and more in a caddy than you can a car so I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a car. Appreciate the feedback and support to the channel 👍 Nathan
Hi Nathan We have spoken before, you was going to lower my Caddy, but you got to busy ahhh yeahhh, I since then have got a t5, fitted Touran seats( from our mate Billy) in front, stereo that you fitted too on your channel, it’s mint. (With the cable ties😂) I have a few just little issues on her (went to Cornwall and back didn’t skip a beat) But would like to know if you wouldn’t mind taking a look at her, hard to trust people that know what there doing these days 👍
Does life imitate art? Took the wife to Walmer Castle this afternoon (Sunday). Saw the golf you did in the video. Didn't have to squint, because it looked mint! Good work my friend from TH-cam.
Pride dude, you defo have that in your work. I still work on Vivaro’s everyday, do enjoy it but a chore for sure,would be nice to do other vehicles but it’s my bread and butter. keep up the good videos buddy
Lovely turnaround... I got a mk3 gti for £600 about 14 years ago as a runabout.. needed a battery, tdc lead, and ignition as the module inside is plastic and rounds off.. what a great little motor, 40mpg, built well, ran well, ate miles.. no awesome cheap cars left, they scrapped them all 😢😢😢
"last time i saw legs like that,they were sticking out the bottom of a birds nest" 😂 have you heard that one Nathe?i actually like the mk3 golf a lot,esp the vr6,in red 👌 this cl is quite a tidy little motor 👍
see when you paint wings do you polish the rest of the motor ,,any motors being painted does the rest of the car need polished when other parts are being painted ? I commented this before you painted then 🙌🏻
Next time you could try to find a paintshop with a color scanner apparatus if you're dealing with old discolored paint, you'll get a custom recipe that's close as possible ✨
Hey Kelly yep I’ve seen a few year old vehicles with absolute knackered suspension and oil leaking out everywhere, exhaust completely rotted out then there’s cars of this era in fantastic condition, shame they make newer cars with lesser quality stuff 👍👍
Hey mate thank you as always 🙏 a few others have said the same about the new track I appreciate the feedback 🙏 cost me bloody £60 😆 the normal ones a free in the editing app. Yes shame about the scrap page scheme as it’s summer time the safety sliders are out 😆👍👍
Hey bud so I do keep myself busy, I get irritable when I sit down I literally can’t stop playing or fiddling with something so I’m always busy, I have aged loads in the last few years so it does have its downsides 😆👍👍
my dad made his own compresser 2 tanks 1 pump 1 motor 1 belt it was a beast ,then he changed the motor from electric to petrol so he could take it Anywhere .
@@YTDTETV he then put it in an Escort van and sprayed fence panels with creosote or brown or green £3 a panel x 30 panels x 5 jobs a day x6 days a week .
Chopsticks DT, Ahh Yeah. The Golf will look better when the '70's Ford Escort ' look has been lost. Back then the new wings rusted before you could paint them in the same week
Hey Karter 👍 yep Vw knew what metal to use for sure, I remember my mum owning a mk3 and it was only a few years old and it was rotten.I do love the look of an Old Ford but I hate welding 😆👍
@@YTDTETV yeah, whoever decided to only have 24 hours in a day totally messed up 🙈 i feel like 50 hours in a day would have been more realistic. To get everything done,24 just isnt enough! On a little side note, could you possibly advise me on how to prep my van before i raptor paint it?ive got various products. she's a sprinter (when you know,you know) 🤦🏼♀️
@@missg300 yep agreed definitely need more hours in a day 😆👍, I like a sprinter but the do like a bubble up 😬, raptor is a good choice. I would just use 320 or 500 grit sand paper either on a sander or just by hand. You can go round the edges or hard to reach places with a red scotch pad to key them up, I’ve even heard of people using the green rough side of a little sponge to key the surface up. With regards to spraying it you need to stand a little further back than you would with a spray gun, maybe even 1 to 2 foot away as it comes out fast so if your to close you might get heavier stripes of a thick layer. It does go everywhere so tape up around the area and maybe wet the floor before hand as it keeps the dust down and any that lands on the floor doesn’t stick as it lands on the water 👍 hope that helps
Ah yea, skipped the leg day down the gym 😂 gotta love the old dubs, it was the 90’s ones that got me into them, and they definitely don’t make em like that no more!
@@YTDTETV 😂😂😂 Well, if it was meant to make us chuckle… it did me. It also to the focus off your legs 😆 I’ve got a little soft spot for those Golf as well. 🤙🏻

Great seeing a 30 year old VW in such good condition Nathan 😊 You’ve done a great job Geezer 😎
Takk!

If those cars got parted out at junkyards that might've saved some remaining ones with the recycled pieces, but if truly scrapped that's criminal
Hey Conrad mate I think it may be the same video I watched, ye it’s such a shame and really appreciate that sir 👍👍

Another great video and great VW, loving the channel and your work

If you turned sideways you’d get reported missing. Top video again mate.
Haha yes Garry that is a good one 😆👍
Looking great! 👍
Mate, nuffin wrong with that! Excellent job as always. Would bring you my T4 anyday.

Ah Ye....i liked this video. Good content as always and good tips as usual. Cracking job mate💪
Thanks simon appreciate that mate 👍👍
Mint even without the squint i hope she’s happy she should be 👍
Thanks Clive appreciate that mate 👍
Great job mate love your caddy and the knobly knees lol
That looks amazing, you always do a great job. Even though it’s a normal old car it was very satisfying to watch.
Another cracking job,what a sweet little motor,gotta be honest,I prefer the old backing track,Ah Yeah 🤙🏻
Hey webbie thank you mate 👍 a couple others have said the same about the new track, appreciate the feedback 🙏 bloody new track cost me £60 😆
Really interesting video nice to see a classic VW she’s minting 👍🏻
Thanks Paul appreciate that mate 👍
Pride dude, you defo have that in your work. I still work on Vivaro’s everyday, do enjoy it but a chore for sure,would be nice to do other vehicles but it’s my bread and butter. keep up the good videos buddy
Cracking little mk3 looks like its had fairly easy life and you definitly made a good job of it
Hey Andrew yes it definitely hasn’t done much and previous owners must have loved it 👍
Cracking job mate love your attention to detail 👌👍
Thanks Tim appreciate that mate 👍👍
Great transformation Nathan👍 I heed to do the same with the one sat in my garage ✌✋👌
Hey Archie thanks mate 👍 I’ve not owned a mk3 but I really liked this one 👍
LAST time i saw legs like that.
They were hanging out of a NEST
Oh Mike that made me chuckle, I will be adding that to the bank thank you 😆👍
Another sound job Nathan 👍🏼👍🏼😎
Thanks Sean 👍👍
That did really come out mint mate epic job top job top bloke
Top job as always 👍
Good job, like a MK3. Hated the scrappage scheme, I've ranted about it so many times but was 15-16 years ago now though!
You could hula hoop with a cheerio 🤣🤣
Haha yes Neil that is brilliant even my kids laughed 😆👍👍
Love it, looks great! Good work Nathan!
Thanks mate appreciate that 👍👍
Knees are like knots in cotton ... what my brother used to say to me 🤨 car looks sweet for a non blend! loving the new tune too 😎
Haha yes that made me chuckle 👍 definitely hearing some I havnt heard before 😆👍
looks so good they should be happy with that top man how is the pup mate
The Old Ford’s and V W are getting together what about that.👍🍻🇬🇧
Great job. Reminds me of my first car, a 92 Passat B3 2.0GL. Dark silver, just like the lower part of your T5. BTW, I love that color setup🤩
Hey bud thank you and very nice I like a Passat, the silver might have been the exact same as the t5 lower 👍👍
That reminds me.... I need to pick up two pints of milk on my way home.....
Haha yes Jeremy that is a good one 😆 thank you 👍

Thanks mate 👍 I’ve never owned a mk3 but I liked this one. That was cheap for a gti and yes it’s such a shame about the scrap page scheme 😔
another great vw look mint 👌 👍
Thanks bud appreciate that 👍
@@YTDTETV credit where it due m8
Looks smart
New reg plate on the front and it will look brand new
Thanks bud 👍
"last time i saw legs like that,they were sticking out the bottom of a birds nest" 😂 have you heard that one Nathe?i actually like the mk3 golf a lot,esp the vr6,in red 👌 this cl is quite a tidy little motor 👍
Haha yes missg that is a good one, you lot are definitely pulling out some I’ve never heard before 😆👍 thank you
Good job you where shoes otherwise without your feet your legs will be down a worm hole 😊
Make me think I should of kept my mk3 golf convertible but a great job Nathan look so much better
That a sick paint work mate keep up the good work mate
Thank you Roy really appreciate that mate 👍
see when you paint wings do you polish the rest of the motor ,,any motors being painted does the rest of the car need polished when other parts are being painted ?
I commented this before you painted then 🙌🏻
Great job! How about a mk2 caddy build? 🤔
Next time you could try to find a paintshop with a color scanner apparatus if you're dealing with old discolored paint, you'll get a custom recipe that's close as possible ✨
I’ve seen those scanner things very posh, I’ll have to look into seeing if anyone local has got one thanks 👍👍
Sweet Job !!!
Thanks bud 👍
That came out nice, bet she was well happy.
Thanks bill appreciate that mate, I’ll see my mate Karl Monday and I’m sure he will tell me what she thinks 👍👍
Handy tips there Nathan 🎉
Thanks Marc 👍
Quality work 🤙
Thanks Ak 👍👍
Great vid, didn’t realise the 6.1 brakes were so much bigger, what struggle, good job ?
Hey Ian yes they where massive on this one 👍
Bang on about the old stuff and new stuff see it all day everyday in my garage
Hey Kelly yep I’ve seen a few year old vehicles with absolute knackered suspension and oil leaking out everywhere, exhaust completely rotted out then there’s cars of this era in fantastic condition, shame they make newer cars with lesser quality stuff 👍👍
No need to Squint 🧐 she looks mint. Not sure about the backing track cannot beat Perfick. You're 💯 right about scrappage. Safety sliders on. 👍
Hey mate thank you as always 🙏 a few others have said the same about the new track I appreciate the feedback 🙏 cost me bloody £60 😆 the normal ones a free in the editing app. Yes shame about the scrap page scheme as it’s summer time the safety sliders are out 😆👍👍
What did you use on those black trims?
Looking mint great work mate
Thanks Gary appreciate that mate 👍👍
Where can I get the DTE stickers
Nice job mate
When do you get time to sleep? I wish that I had half the energy and drive that you have. Well done!
Hey bud so I do keep myself busy, I get irritable when I sit down I literally can’t stop playing or fiddling with something so I’m always busy, I have aged loads in the last few years so it does have its downsides 😆👍👍
Dad would call them lucky legs lucky they don’t snap
Haha yes Steve I like that one a lot 😆 I will be adding that to my list 👍
my dad made his own compresser 2 tanks 1 pump 1 motor 1 belt it was a beast ,then he changed the motor from electric to petrol so he could take it Anywhere .
I did think about a petrol engine, sounds like your dad was a clever guy 👍👍

Nice job! :)
Thanks mate 👍👍
Like the DTE new beat
Bosh looks banging

'I like paintwork to look mint'.. at that point, I'm thinking - maybe have to squint ?
