Dan, you’re going to get a thousand comments telling you what an amazing job you’ve done. So just to echo what everyone is going to say - massive congratulations that is a beautiful car, you’ve done an amazing job … be very proud
Fantastic ! Watched this progress over last couple of years ! One suggestion would be to restore the previous wheels or get a set of period BBS split rims. They set the car off far better
I can honestly say I’ve never felt so pleased for somebody I’ve never met as I did for you watching this video, I’ve followed the series and enjoyed every instalment, the look on your face when you drove the car up the yard is what life is all about, totally buzzing for you!
I have watched every video, through the highs and lows, the ones where you could hardly bring yourself to work on it. All I can say , is you must be so proud , and rightly so. It has been worth every single hour of graft, blood sweat and tears. now Enjoy it Dan.
Dan! Dan! Dan! Look at what you have! She is stunning! Colour is gorgeous, stance is on point, wheels are on point, interior is just the right amount of luxurious and the engine bay is a definite "Jewelry Box!" You should be on the moon right now lad!! Congrats mate, from what you started with to the end product is amazing! Can't wait to see what's next 😂😂 Spot on kid!!
Love love love ...this was my first car golf mk1 gti red 1983 had so much fun, I did put koni shocks on it and low profile tyres to lower a bit and stability around corners, none of the other girls did anything with their cars, but I just loved this one, great car. Enjoy 😉 feel like a right dinosaur now
Thank you!
Dude you have absolutely smashed this! What a build! What a guy!
You have done a meticulous and beautiful job on this iconic car. You must feel proud !
Thank you! I am very very proud of it.
We're just stopping by to be another voice in the crowd who are SCREAMING at how awesome this looks!! Dan, you have done yourself PROUD!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Now your glad you saw this project through to the end and rightfully so!
Nicely executed with great vision ✔️👌👍😎
That moment when you drive ur project car for the first time.... Just wow reminded me of when i drive mine for the first time, cant wait to experience it again with my mk1 project .... Thank you and keep going
I'm speechless... Dan the Man you've done it💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Afta all that work you must be buzzing with the end result, It's looking truly stunning. Now get that mot booked and enjoy it
Dan absolutely out of this world,massive effort through out to get this superb finished mk1 gti.👌
That’s been such an enjoyable series. Thanks Dan, and well done 👏🏻.
Brilliant job Dan as always I said this was the best Channel on CZcams thanks for the inspiration to get my own project car
That smile on your face says it all, the time and effort you've put into the golf has paid off, you've got a piece of automotive gold there, you should be very proud of what you have achieved mate.
Wish I was in the country to see this in the flesh. I know you said a while ago that you thought my anthracite grey MK4 looked good when I drove through lutterworth a couple of years ago. Mine does not begin to come close to this. Fantastic results and has been great watching. Thanks
Dan your vw is awesome. You brought back memories of when I had my 1985 mars red GTI that I transformed into a 16V look alike. Changed the front doors to 1990 doors rear hatch to 1986 hatch door for third break light and the whole OEM 16V big bumper look. Also the interior received the 16V look with black headliner door cards dashboard....she was a looker. Again nice awesome job with yours enjoy!
Stunning work. The smile speaks volumes......
Hard to believe it’s the same car! Awesome job Dan fair play 👍👍
Thats the face of happiness. The end of a journey and complete satisfaction. Bravo!
Congratulations. A great show of mental resilience and exceptional work ethic. Everyone could do this, but not many do. A testament to your dedication and talent. Now time to burn the tyres off 😝😁🥳
Remarkable mate! Followed your channel from the camper build and now this. Such a talent! Can’t wait to see your next projects
That is an incredible build, loved every video on it, it’s looks better then factory
Best Mk1 build..really enjoyed this series..thanks Dan for producing such a beaut
Absolutely stunning Dan! There’s nothing better then stepping back and looking at all your hard work come to life and all your ideas in your head become reality. I built a 200SX many years ago so I know how you feel. You should feel super proud of yourself. Good luck at the event on the weekend. 🟥🟠
I have been following your project since minute 1, a spectacular work, a large number of hours that it will have cost you behind the camera off that we have not seen, and above all the effort and dedication that you have put into it... congratulations DAN... you deserve to be able to enjoy it now very very very comfortable and that everything goes perfect…!!! a hug and CONGRATULATIONS
Wow, been following this build from day 1. What a transformation. You have created a masterpiece bru. She's a absolute stunner😍🔥💯🙌 well done
Great job Dan! It's been so very enjoyable watching you throughout this whole process. Super inspiring 🙌
Wicked work Dan next time I'm in Peterborough I'll give you a shout I'd love to see that car in person.
Nice to meet u today and yes car looks sick in person yes it me with the blue r32
Nothings happening !! Love the finished car , brilliant .
You’ve nailed the resto-mod vibe on this, nothing is quite as it came out the factory but you can’t quite put your finger on what or why! Perfect pal, just perfect 👌🏻
Well done Dan.... What an amazing job you've done with that mk1 don't ever sell it... Hope to see it in person at a show this year.... Next build mk2?.........
Well done again 👍👏👏
Dan you’ve done an unbelievable job. The work you have put into this in a relatively short space of time is amazing. Take a bow sir. It has been great to watch. 👌🏻
Congratulations Dan. I’m so proud of you and what you’ve accomplished. Can’t wait to see it. Amazing job!
Great work Dan👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Looking forward to seeing it and you at some car show soon.
You should be massively proud of your self mate, from where it was to how it sits now hats off to you it looks incredible
WOW!!! Just WOW Dan.
Unbelievable transformation from the basket of soup you started with, to this amazing looking car. I hope you're really proud of your achievements Dan, as it looks absolutely stunning 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The series that the mk1 deserved. Awesome achievement on both counts. Give it a couple of years and I think you will have a £100k car there.
Awesome. Speechless. Better than the factory equivalence.
Congratulations mate I can't wait to see it at a show soon. Also thank you I've throughly enjoyed watching this from start to finish.
You can put boot rubber under the bonnet where u fitted that fire wall plastic cover on that metal lip and where the plastic connects
that engine bay is just spectacular....
Great News, great build and and a super Dan Chambers
Restored to a show car and looks so amazing
Great job man, looks good. My brother has Mk1 cabrio 1.5 l with scirocco engine. That was a machine. Your otherwise is perfection I am sure you are very proud of your self. Congratulations 👌
Fantastic achievement Dan. Great to see the results from all your blood ,sweat , and tears. I hope you have many enjoyable days driving and showing the car. Well done dude , I’m buzzing for you
Happy ending, we've been waiting a long time
Well done Dan car looks absolutely mint mate I know this car caused a lot of stress during the build but now it must make it worth while, I started watching with your caddy content and this has kept me watching what's next in the build series get a poll going air cooled Beetle, mk1 caddy or vw camper hopefully
Wow, what a lovely looking car, Great job Dan
Simply stunning Dan. Well done mate.
Fan bloodytastic, Dan! Knew your long toil would be worth it. Thanks so much for sharing this build with us; I’ve loved every episode. NOW ENJOY!❤️👊
Proud moment. Well deserved!

Look so good on the car fella
Saw it glistening today at the show, awesome job mate!
What an achievement Dan it looks stunning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Stunning build mate 👏🏻
Nice job that you finished it Dan. I'm also building a 20vt and if been stuck now for 1month on the wiring. Everything works except for spark
Took an unreal car and sent it to space what a job you’ve done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Looks absolutely amazing. In the words of Big Chris, "it's been emotional".
You did a awesome job on this!!! Thanks! Greetings from Sweden.
You need to give yourself a huge pat on the back mate, watched you since the start. Well done sir 👏
Well Done looking good.
Make sure your 1 way valves is working on brake booster it runs to the intake vacuum system.
Also that surging when start up it sounds like the car is doing self adaption. If it's doing it all the time then it's like u taking of the battery terminal to reset ECU all the time so make sure earth is good to ECU and that it's running to ignition correctly and working thru the relay .
Dan I've watched every video of the build the golf gti looks sick she's a beauty 👍
Dan . The car looks the nuts mate . Ive watched this build from the start . The work you have done and how it turned out is a credit to mate . The interior is wick looks the dogs 🐕 lol .
