MK1s of Alpine Volks Fair 2024
Just a glimpse of the many incredible builds brought out by even more incredible people at AVF this year. It's unreal to see so many of these cars in one place.
I tried to get everyone but I know I missed a few. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat!

I didn't catch everyone but I tried to get as many as I could from the AVF MK1 meet on 5/18. It's always surreal to see so many in one place! Excellent turnout!

Riverside Chattanooga 2022! This was the first year I made it out to see the Riverside show and it did not disappoint! So much diversity and so many amazing builds from people across the country.

I Bought My Dream Car and It Has Rust Issues..? - 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI Build - Episode #1
zhlédnutí 438Před 4 lety
Hello everyone and welcome to my first video on CZcams! Today's video is the beginning of my long-awaited dream car build. Ever since I was a kid, I've always dreamed of having a red Mk1 GTI Hardtop and I can finally say that it is now a reality. Rather than doing a forum with this build (because they're all basically dead now), I am going to document all of my progress here on CZcams in hopes ...
Bravo super vw .vous êtes très bon en Golf Mk1. Je vous souhaite de tourner de très belles video de Golf...😊
Where is this Volks Fair located? I worked at VW Westmoreland & owned/drove one of the early ones that we made & now in process of restoring an 81
Helen, GA
Need more mk1's 😅
Maaaan every time I see nice mk1’s it makes me want one more and more lol
No time better than the present! 😂
I’m gonna give the golf one more fighting chance to work before I rip it apart and do a probably be swap in it. Want to do something down the line but would be nice to have in the meantime lol
Damnit boy, glad the damage wasn't worse!
Pain and suffering of low profiles. Love hate with mine
Same same. I love having the truck low but I also love to be able to drive it! Could've been worse!
@@poorrichardsgarage4158I’ve had my 82 Caddy for almost 30 yrs.
what rear air shock did you use for the caddy?
Monroe MA785 for the axle flip
would it have been easier just to buy a full steering column to replace it than rebuilding? i have to do the same project to my caddy. thanks
I'm not aware of anywhere selling a remanufactured column but maybe. If you buy a used one it will more than likely have the same issues. They all fail at some point. The rebuild is a little time consuming but not super difficult with the right tools
nice truck bro new suscriber
Thank you!!
Love your content brother, what a beautiful ride. Really enjoyed this, super relaxin and just awesome work!
Thank you for the kind words! Hoping to find the time to put some more content out soon!
Where did you get those air shocks
Pretty sure I got them on eBay
You should sell me this gem
Awsome ❤️
Would you still have the bushing part #.
www.4crawler.com/Diesel/ForSale/PolySpringBushings.shtml These are the bushings I used. Website isn't the most user-friendly but they're reputable and sell good quality stuff
super gracias por compartir el video de tu caddy saludos y te felicito amigo
where are the wheels from? they look really nice
Thank you! The wheels are Enkie 92s that I'm pretty sure I ordered from ebay
I subbed your videos are sweet I really hope you start up flossing more MK1 VW videos!
Looks killer I’m having a hard time completely removing my rear leaf springs the bolt faces the body and doesn’t have clearance any tips?
Not sure on that one man. I would think the bolt should slide out of the inside where the body isn't in the way. If yours are somehow inverted, cutting the bolts out and replacing them may be your only option
🇧🇷🇧🇷🚗🤩❤😍 aqui do Brasil
Mine with the topper!
That’s me @0:46
🔥🔥🔥🔥
VW Mk1s ➡🏠
Glad I got to see your truck in person! That fake patina @and stripes came out great!
Thank you! 🙌 loved seeing yours in person as well! I'm always a suckered for 92s on a mk1 😂
@Poor Richard's Garage they sure are nice but a pita to clean 🤣
Great video of all the cars! I made it in a few times. 0:06, 1:16 and another time.
why are you adding rust?!😮
What size tires are you running and And how's the ride quality since being lowered
195/45/15s and not a single complaint. I ran Racelands on a convertible for years and this setup is far superior
Almost there with the suspension on my build.. I bought some wheels this week but I have 15x8 all around.. I’m sure I’ll need to roll the fenders too like you did.. do you remember what size tires you ran on your wheels? I know you mentioned the front wheels are 7 and rears are 8 nice setup man! Also agree with others the graphics on the sides are waaay cool!!
Just now seeing this! Sorry for the delayed response! I run 195/45/15s all around. Thanks for the view!
That is a beautiful truck!! Especially the graphics.. superb
What wheel size did you run? Are they 15x8 or 15x7? Looks really nice!
Thanks! They are 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the rear
What rear shocks u use ?
Monroe MA785 with an axle flip
Looks great! 🙏
A lot of time and patience! Nice video man!
Love it man!! Nice work!!! 👌
Awesome video! Love the creativity!! I am a HUGE fan of early/vintage graphic packages on mo1’s I think they are so cool! Your design idea looks great!! Looking forward to the next! Cheers
Thank you for the kind words! I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to look in the end but I think it definitely makes the truck more interesting to look at. The next episode should be coming up soon!
Sometimes its the simple projects that are the most entertaining. Cant wait for episode two of this!!
Awesome man! Glad to see more videos, and can’t wait to watch the cars evolve. Also, you should definitely let me get a sticker for my vw lol
I can make that happen! I'll cut one and get it to you!
I was tensing up when you lifted the car up!😬
That was intense 😬
Awesome! Can't wait to see the rest!
Awesome
What a great start! Cant wait to watch the rest of this series!!
Oh boy! I was holding my breath on that first window extraction hehehehehe,. Great start! Can't wait to watch more.
Awesome! Can't wait to see the rest, bud!
