the owner is so down to earth, alot of the other owners are shitting in that passenger seat, but he was truely loving Ricky winding up his mental mk1. what a great video, thanks guys : )
'tell u wot john, quite like the colour of them garage doors there y'ano' 'yeh gaz mate nice colour init' 'tell u john, im gonna paint my car that colour'
Ricky bro your the best car content TH-camr out there hands down! The way your smashing out these uploads is maaad, something different every time as well
I built a Mk1 golf with a Audi s3 engine and unfortunately sold it 6 years ago, watching this video brings back some great memories. It used to eat 911’s and aerial atoms, such a fun retro pocket rocket and watching this video makes me miss it. Great video LLF
Blacky82 I still miss my Mk2 Golf 16v 87 plate Had many different makes since and my first ever Golf GLS mk1 S reg 1977 & the 16v were the best driver/car experience imo Happy days
Can tell Ricky is loving these old school cars hope you end up with one as a project g I’ve got an e30 nowhere near worthy of your channel but so much more character than my newer 1 series I had 🙌🏽
Ricky,you just made this old man smile,im a bmw man but this car has taken me back to the 84,a family friend had a mk 1 golf heavily modified with ottinger gear,this green thing is rare raw beauty,big up to the owner,I love his vision,your skanking sweet young man.....
Mate your content is sick and fresh. So good to see such random stuff. The Audi and bmw stuff is getting old, These builds have got character and exclusivity. Respect
Just found your channel today bruh , so good to have a car personality that's a bit more real, chillen and easy going but can tell you got some street in ya too man...quality content though , propper .....mad keen to watch ya back catalog...peace and success from Sydney, Australia bro...keep going and growing , you've got what it is mate .... go hard.
Best best best channel hands down for car nuts - love that we get the same format of the intro, car walk around, owner telling the story and then the driving/interviewing is amazing - love love love - plus you're banging out more content and the cars are all now at such a high level!!!! You should be proud of yourself Ricky for making this for all of us to enjoy - many of the vids give me goosebumps because you've captured that amazing feeling!!!
The smile on his when your driving it. And he properly appreciated your compliments. Fantastic car lovely guy. I personally think one of your best videos. 👏🏼
What a car, I felt that experience while watching on phone mad thing. Respect for the owner, build by his heart can tell by his hands. Can't wait to see someone with tuned group B Audi quattro.
Seems like gob smacking performance and proof you don’t need big power to get the adrenaline flowing. Great vid and the owner seems like a genuinely top bloke!
Think that's my favourite car that's been on the channel. it's a absolute beast and nice to see that he's built it all himself. &Keep on with these older cars with big power, best content 🔥🔥
Wow! What a drive.. Only had one run out in a Golf gti mk1 years years ago. I knew that it was a real drivers car within a mile or two. Prompted me to get a mk2 gti not long after. One of the best cars I’ve had. Still kind of wish that I’d looked for a decent Mk1. But, there you go.. Excellent vid mate 👍
What an epic machine, that guys super chuffed with what he's built and totally should be. It makes me happy that he's so happy. Get more like these Ricky
I've had a bunch of turbocharged cars. Dsm's,civic b18b turbo,335i n55,and my mk5 and mk6 were always fun to drive..! This makes me want to get a mk1 with the same set up. I love this car. Great job,and great video...!!! 👍
Really like where this channel is going mate. Keep doing what you're doing, loving these proper cars. Much better direction than plastic mk5 golfs. Love this shit!
I have a very similar setup in my mk2 Golf gti (around 300bhp bigger turbo etc etc). My turbo spool/engine/exhaust sound is also very similar to this mk1 and I can confirm everything he says about these cars. They are absolutely awesome.
Kieron Mailk thanks bro, its guys like you that support and keeps me motivated!! 🙏❤️💪💯 another video dropping today so stay tuned, maybe we could collab one day.
Hello Hi you think what makes you say that? And that is one of projects and have got mods just having had time to edit them. I have many projects to tell you the truth but will reveal them slowly. 🙏💯💪❤️
I always wanted a 20v turbo conversion when I had a mk1 gti. Absolutely awesome car you have there! Youre a tall guy Danny, get some padding on that roll cage if you drive it with out a helmet and get those harnesses tightened down properly 👍🏼
I’d go vr6 swap personally but that’s what makes his build commendable; everyone goes the vr6 route but he went with a 1.8T. I can’t help but think how much quicker the car would’ve been with those mods on a vr6 though. The natural torque of the vr6 would’ve helped fill the out-of-boost response and would’ve made the lag less noticeable. Proper build though so congrats to this guy for doin it right👍
Awesome review! Got to love the mk1 and Mk2 experiences with decent power! Rapid little cars! Smiles all the time but slightly worried your going to die haha
Follow The Owner instagram.com/vdubdan7?igshid=1jk6hr3z1sus
Think AWD on that MK1 =D like BobaMotoring.
He got it on then! It was me who messaged you about this originally 👍🏻as if you was in Ilkeston and I didn’t even know 😂😂
@JOHN Okaydokey wow get a grip lad
JOHN Okaydokey head to cbbc you pleb
the owner is so down to earth, alot of the other owners are shitting in that passenger seat, but he was truely loving Ricky winding up his mental mk1. what a great video, thanks guys : )
That’s the happiest owner I have seen
Lovey car mate 👌
owner? nope, registered keeper yep, as soon as you sign that V5 you become the new registered keeper not the owner, DVLA NEEDS REFORM!!
@@jaytoppo1670 you absolute tit lol!
@@Gattsu1986 Why is he a tit for telling the truth?? Nobody in the UK owns a car, they are merely registered keepers.
Why is it Kelly green?🤔
'tell u wot john, quite like the colour of them garage doors there y'ano'
'yeh gaz mate nice colour init'
'tell u john, im gonna paint my car that colour'
🤣 🤣 🤣 This made me crease
I like the license plate😉
Such a nice bloke with a cracking car. Great video Ricky!!
I need a bloke!😛😂🤗
Ricky bro your the best car content TH-camr out there hands down! The way your smashing out these uploads is maaad, something different every time as well
He's your bro?
@@katharineho8142 What, is he not your’s?
One dislike ...guy who sold the car 10 years ago
Lol true story.
I like the song, "Pink Moon."🤔
Rickys slowly understanding the power to weight g forces 😂
I hate g-force👎
I built a Mk1 golf with a Audi s3 engine and unfortunately sold it 6 years ago, watching this video brings back some great memories. It used to eat 911’s and aerial atoms, such a fun retro pocket rocket and watching this video makes me miss it. Great video LLF
Watching this video makes me feel so happy for the owner.he should be so proud of his achievment.well done mr
Love these 80s90s cars so much more fun than new cars in my opinion! Proper RAW experience. Nice1 ricky & to the owner. RESPECT👊
Blacky82 I still miss my Mk2 Golf 16v 87 plate
Had many different makes since and my first ever Golf GLS mk1 S reg 1977 & the 16v were the best driver/car experience imo
Happy days
Absolutly... Volvo 240 was my puck tho, for rwd and tank 😂
The Car Guy agreed on the older cars being way more fun and thrilling than newer cars! Newer cars are blah!!!!
Totally agree, I only watch the older cars
I wanted a Toyota Camry sedan. Used. Grey/Silver or maroon. Then my friend got it.
20v turbo mk1's rock!! A lot of these in South Africa :D
My iPads not fast enough to keep up with Ricky’s rapid uploads 😂
You need fast Internet for this car haha
Then you need an android😂
@Bat man i feel your pain 😂
I hate tablets
1st time I’ve ever seen Ricky flinch that golf must be an animal
Why not a sports car?
Is this about the Datsun?
Dude is humble asf, bulit it himself as well ! Bravo Dan Bless up Ricky and bless up the LLF fam
Loving these old car reviews. Keep em coming.
The car is amazing and the owner is a really passionate guy. Aspiring man.
This is where it's at modern cars getting so heavy anything under 1000kgs is the way forward smiles per miles top bloke top build🤙
Sarah williams or the way back ....
Triple the smiles per miles, get yourself on two wheels ;)
Suzuki keeps the weight pretty low but then people will say its a toycar cause it hasnt the audi premium feel.
Tom it’s great fun
Can tell Ricky is loving these old school cars hope you end up with one as a project g I’ve got an e30 nowhere near worthy of your channel but so much more character than my newer 1 series I had 🙌🏽
This isn't old skool🙄
Car sounds like its driving through a tunnel all the time, crazy
Lovely motor it looks rapid, loving these old school cars. The editing in these videos is quality, well done Ricky.

14:13 Oohh shiit car looks insanely fast!! Watch how he leaves the other car on the road. Great video and built car!!
Man the car is epic. My cheeks are hurting from all the smiling I've just done. Great owner as well!
The smile on his when your driving it. And he properly appreciated your compliments.
Fantastic car lovely guy. I personally think one of your best videos. 👏🏼
Its what sundays are all about, LLF sundays yeah boiiiii
The quality continues hats of to you Ricky hard work pays off ! And congratulations to the owner amazing build 😎
Work. Of. Art. Awesome content, well put together dub and big big respect to the owner! Nice.
Love it! Great car, great review. You can tell a Mk1 owner by the oiled up hands haha.
Driver: "I wonder what rpm I was hitting"
..
tachometer: "Yes"
What a car, I felt that experience while watching on phone mad thing. Respect for the owner, build by his heart can tell by his hands. Can't wait to see someone with tuned group B Audi quattro.
This man has created my dream golf and i have never wanted one .... what a build and it sounds amazing!
Seems like gob smacking performance and proof you don’t need big power to get the adrenaline flowing. Great vid and the owner seems like a genuinely top bloke!
Miss my 01 mk4 1.8T... such a great car... can only imagine what the mk 1 is like with that engine!
Awesome build here and the owner is a genuine bloke, huge thumbs up
Absolutely brilliant content Ricky... been waiting on a MK1
That thing sounds mental!! It looks like something that would be scary but super fun to drive. Totally digging the color too.
Defiently the best on TH-cam for variety and consistency keep it up man 👌👌
Think that's my favourite car that's been on the channel. it's a absolute beast and nice to see that he's built it all himself.

Beaming from start to finish watching this - thank you for brightening up my day
One of the best yet! A true build. Nothing but man and car
Star trek mode.. : ) well done to the owner for building a machine that most petrolheads would be proud of.
I wouldn’t bother with more power if I was him. Unless he’s converting it to four wheel drive.
Nice humble guy that's worked hard to build a great car. Wicked video mate :)
Mate you have built a beautie these old skool motor's are where the fun is at .. great one Ricky keep the old classic's coming
I’ve watched all your vids from day 1 and don’t comment. I work in construction but understand the graft this takes. Thank you 🙏🏼
What an epic machine, that guys super chuffed with what he's built and totally should be. It makes me happy that he's so happy. Get more like these Ricky
Bloody mental beast,props to the owner for the insane build,stay blessed LLF gang

Best car you've had on the channel.
Yes Danny, nice to see you putting Ilson on the map 👍🏻 quality car
Owners smiling so much it's making me smile. Legend mate
Amazing car, lovely sound.. I'm doing a 1.8T build on a mk1 here in Nairobi 🇰🇪 I hope I get anywhere close to that green monster! 👍🏾👍🏾
They are fun to build as long as you got a little money
@@jasontancer2595 true, not a cheap project..
Great video Ricky, as usual. If anyone is wondering what the intro music is, Kevin Wiens - Rly Real.
Amazing build and owner is such a positive bloke! Great content Ricky!
Heavy💯🔥
Owner appreciates being the passenger 👏🏾
Beautiful. Would like to see a Renault 5gtt if you can
hinckydee My dad had one back in the day there only like 120hp but way nothingggg
Yes please
I just rewatch this. It's one of the best cars you've brought.love it
This channel is getting more insane with every video. Bring it on.
Really like where this channel is going mate. Keep doing what you're doing, loving these proper cars. Much better direction than plastic mk5 golfs.
Love this shit!
Yes! My first car the Mk1 Golf! Ricky, this is amazing content. 💪🏼🤘🏼
Glenn Malcolm My 2nd after a 1275 mini
The one thums down must be the owner of a reliant robin--- Great vid mate, and just goes to show, Old VWs just get faster if you give them TLC .
that Golf is in Beast Mode to look and Sound like a Rally Car.. Incredible.. 400 plus would be Nuts
Can’t beat a golf mark 1, remember them days but special. Loved the vid Ricky topclass and getting better all the time. 👍🏻
I have a very similar setup in my mk2 Golf gti (around 300bhp bigger turbo etc etc). My turbo spool/engine/exhaust sound is also very similar to this mk1 and I can confirm everything he says about these cars. They are absolutely awesome.
Ah a Mk 1 Golf GTi ... if only I had kept mine! Thank you Ricky for these amazing throw backs, keep them coming, such great memories :) JJ x
You know its fast when he does the hand fist @10:36 and seatbelt golf
Hood Stig Yano had 1 of your vids pop up the other day watched a couple vids keep up mate
Kieron Mailk thanks bro, its guys like you that support and keeps me motivated!! 🙏❤️💪💯 another video dropping today so stay tuned, maybe we could collab one day.
Not all drivers can scare ricky but this driver did!
Hood Stig Maybe you should start modding your EP3 ? Ot can possible increase your subs at a fast rate
Hello Hi you think what makes you say that? And that is one of projects and have got mods just having had time to edit them. I have many projects to tell you the truth but will reveal them slowly. 🙏💯💪❤️
