Brilliant job! Back in the mid 80s I was a mechanic working on VW and Audis and we were basically scrapping endless Mk1 Golfs at 5 years old due to corrosion. The Mk1 basically corroded everywhere. Every panel, and box section. We once had one in at 4 years old for MOT that the owner had fabricated a new floor pan out of fibreglass as the steel was so corroded, they even included all the reinforcing dimples from the original pressing. 1982 seemed to be a turning point for them and once the MK2 Golfs came in we stopped scrapping what would now be considered a young car. Its really nice to see a MK1 still on the road and even better fully restored
This the best restoration cid I've watch. The work put in and the end result is absolutely satisfying coming for a guy that owns VW velocities. I can appreciate these vids
Thanx 4 rescuing this masterpiece of German engineering of the 80s! 👍👍👍 Imagine how much fun you would have missed if body galvanizing had been introduced 10 years earlier! 😂
Dan, I’ve really enjoyed this Golf series immensely. I’ve got to say that for me, the paintwork has really knocked it out of the park. now I’m really missing the one I had in 1981 😊live long and prosper buddy 🙏
This has been, without a doubt, the best restoration project on a car, the best I have ever seen in my life. I love the mk1s and this is a dream. I hope to see it finished, excellent work, brother. Greetings.
Dan, Great to see a time lapse of this Mk1 Golf GTi project/resto mod up to this point of completing the painting of the colour! This project has been a fantastic journey so far 😎 I am really looking forward to seeing you put this VW back together and install the 1.8t to see it drive on roads of the UK again 🏁
Its only when you watch a timelapse like this that you appreciate the work gone in to the resto. Top work buddy! Hope to one day come and see it! Looking forward to the rolling shots!!!
Great job. I bought an MOT failure 1981 GTI in Mars Red from a neighbour for £40. Second hand (White) doors, (Silver)Tailgate new (Black)wings, welded repair rear wheel arches, new bumpers, bit more welding, service, and full respray by a classic car resto mate for another £40. All to o/e spec. Sold for £1,650 before the price rise! All done outside on my driveway. Not a patch on yours though.
Long hard slog on this one but it was so worth carrying on with it when you can look back at all that work you put in. Great work bud can't wait to see it on the road. 👍🏼
OK, so your welding, body work, and painting is pretty good, I get it. If you ever move to so. Florida call me, I got a small ding in my door that needs to be fixed ! LOL ! Great job, video. Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴🇺🇸
work of art if i have the money and the skill i would do that to my car but maybe in other life i will be able to make my dram come true :) keep the good work
It's when you see this you appreciate just how much time and effort you have put into this restoration Dan, right back when it was a rusty old shell to now when it's probably better than new, really! really! fantastic work mate you have come a long way during this build so should be proud of yourself 👌👏👏🙏👍
Such a result you should be proud of yourself Dan especially after all the depression last year and how fare you have come with the build looks better than it did from the factory can’t wait to see this come together your such a decent bloke . And loving the new content on your new home be great to see the new workshop with this amazing build in there good luck with the new adventure 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I’d forgotten some of the repairs you had to do to the shell. You’re way past the point that a lot of restorations get sold as unfinished projects, keep going Dan you’re nearly there. Also I’m really enjoying the house series 🤙
Amazing job, love what you do and watching how you do it!! I get really helpful tips and confidence by watching how you do things, thanks!! Keep up the great work, you must be proud of what you’ve done 👍🏻👍🏻
Das ist eine unbezahlbare Arbeit. Hier wer das kann muss viel Erfahrung haben als Karosseriebauer. Und er muß seinen Beruf gerne ausführen. Und er muß diese Fahrzeuge lieben. Ein solche Golf GTI ist gegenüber dem heutigen Golf GTI kein vergleich mehr. Aber dieses Auto stellt irgendwie wenn es fertiggestellt ist einen Neuwagen dar.
Mate I been watching from the beginning and all of your projects have been wicked to watch you are an absolute wizard in what you do bud keep up the good work 👊
Hi Dan, after going through the whole process from strip, blast ,weld and paint, would you change anything ? The time lapse doesn’t give you the credit for all the effort. Good work dude 💪🏻👍🏻👊🏻
My golf does not look better than yours before the repair, body parts are very expensive in Poland for such an "ordinary" classic .... renovation too expensive. It was nice to see that you managed to renew this car this way.
ooo, wat een werk en dan moet de rest nog . pffff , ik weet er alles van... maar het mooiste moment is wel met je schone kleren lekker toeren. beter dan origineel.
Shoulda just stamped the vin # on the new parts....😂 But awesome turnaround, we car lovers thank you for your restoration efforts. 😁 had a mk 2 gti, modded, such fun times!
I wish I could be the artist that YOU are. I adore these cars...you give it new life....
The work you have put into that shell would put most car restoration
Specialists to shame. Respect 👏

What did you do about cavity preservation? Truly, this is an alien concept for a Golf from the 1970s…
All of the cavities were sprayed with Rust convertor and then sprayed with cavity wax
