- So a good customer asked if we could find a mk1 Golf GTI 1800 and make it factory fresh !! , First we needed to find a car
So here’s the first part of our back to factory GTI build - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Being a purist, I really do appreciate, and like to see, a factory original restoration, I’m looking forward to more content on this car❤.
The car will look great and you and Fudge well do a great job
you nutter. 😆 Good luck and will be following your progress. 👌
Can't wait to see more of this one Al. Love me a Mk1 GTI! Happy to hear that it is going back to original 👍
Surprisingly, in good shape and ready for rebuild, look forward to seeing the progress 👍👍👍
Can't wait
Can't wait to see this MK1 on that journey.pucker up its going to be painful but going to be great
Love a mk1! I asked the same lad about 5 years ago if he would part with one of his golf mk1s as he had 2 or 3 in that tent garage on his drive and he had 2 mk1 caddy’s outside.
Nice one Al. Hope we get to see the inch by inch restoration of this one 👍👍👍
Looking forward to this new series. Original is definitely the way to go. Have a great day!
Careful when you choose the paint, there's two mars red's, depends on year, and they're a fair bit different
Looking forward to this GTI resto, I had a Golf Formel E in 1982 in Mars Red with the 1.1 engine.
Absolutely fantastic project Al...will be glued to this one, costs can mount when going factory original but I have faith in you like to see more folks subscribing,, your content is amazing and performed with good old Dorset common sence! more fags and coffee needed buddy! looks like this will get the VW owners flocking to watch!!!! all the very best buddy!
Your new work mate is fitting right in 🤗 just what you want, someone who you don't have to hold their hand, simply let them get on with it 🙂
Wow a lot of work there, I have a couple of VWs I feature on my channel a Polo Breadvan and VW T4 but currently I’m working on my 04 merc sprinter van, just a tidy up job but I keep finding more rust 😩 I’ll look forward to seeing this one moving along I’ve just subbed 🙂👍
Love the mk1 I had a mk2 1800 8 valve in tornado red and it was a great car the best I ever had.
Looking forward to seeing more on this,so nice it's going back to how it left the factory.
super golful.....
Man here has a mk3 golf estate 1.9d.
Nice to see a mk1 getting the treatment.
Great video, this’ll be interesting Al!
Get on that 303 lad
A remarkably clean shell - a perfect restoration project. Single headlamps are correct for the year - pre campaign spec.
Great car to do a series on. Best way to finish a mid week evening off by enjoying your work again
Cheers fella 👍
Ugh if you weren't at the other end of the country some of those bits would be perfect for the MK1 convertible I'm currently trying to acquire with a view to turn it into some kind of offroad military-look type thing!
A surprise midweek upload from AL .looking forward too seeing you transform it back to its former glory. Hello from Easington County Durham
I’m going to try and go back to two a week , life an work allowing and hello from a slightly dam Dorset 👍
Well, what an exciting project we are going to be watching. Can’t wait to see you and Fudge get stuck into the strip down and bodywork on this Mk1 Golf. Already wishing the next episode can be viewed. Time to cue the music Da da da de da da da, and get the whiry noise maker to start undoing some bolts.
Great vid looking forward to the series. Love mk1s wish I'd kept mine I had a 1979 gti one of the first rhd gti's miss it so
This was fire
Oh memories of the 'Carlos Fandango Super Wide Wheels'!
I do remember having a sat of 3 spoke fandangos !!! Even if I cringe when admitting it 😂
@@6DDIESELSDorset Um, Did your 3 spoke fandango's drive the girls wild with excitement? i did have a set of slot mags on my rover p6 .If a car was ever unsuited to slotmags , then its the P6.
Looking forward to seeing this project mk1 Golf. Who doesn't love a golf. Worth a lot more stock. Face ache market place i hate it😂😂. Brilliant Al 👍
Turd? Polished? That is you that is! Great video as normal Al 👍👍
This is going to be interesting. Back to original, please
Looking forward to it Alan especially on a Sunday morning.
Heritage cars parts. You can get all the correct parts for the golf
Hi Al, excellent video as usual. I really look forward to your vids, so cheery and jolly. Thank you for all of your hard work, your vids really hep me when I am low. Kindest regards, Paul from Liverpool.
An absolute pleasure fella 👍
A belter ,be top notch when it done🥊
👍👍👍
Back in the 80s owned a mk 2 gti demonstrator on p slot wheels awesome then scirocco gt then more golf’s but had test drive in mk1 gti brakes were dire.
This is gonna be a great one to watch Al cheers for doing CZcams
Another great video has always al 👍
Yes proper motor can’t wait to see this 👌
Brilliant al 👍 👍
I'll buy it when finished.
Looking forward to this project 😊
I had a mk 1 golf.i wish I still had it .Great video al.cant wait see more on it.
I'm pondering if you might need a couple of extra days in the week as you go on.. 🙂👍
Following with interest👍
What a good base for a resto. Doesn't look like it needs too much attention from the mig welder.
You will do a great job on the v w great video guys
Shame as I was looking for a set of those wheels about 6 months back.
Those MK 1's are getting so rare.
Someone's got deep pockets getting all this done🤐
Nice furniture in the van
You could get the car with the slightly smaller lights in the grill as they were also available as an option on the non GTi cars. Yep I’m old enough to remember these coming out and wrongly being called the first hot hatch, it wasn’t. Renault 5 beat it.
Great series coming up.... why is your mate called fudge??? 😂
❤
Looking forward to this one Al, this will show the world what talent you've got, and could bring you in some more quality work? You never did get back to me about my old (very nice for the year) Mercedes Sprinter I offered you for free???
I did try fella , ill definitely have the machine man can never have to many sprinters!!! 👍
Drop me an email if that’s easier alhemsley@hotmail.com 👍
I’ve replied to both of your emails fella not sure they are getting to you Al 👍
My Mk1 GTI from years back was bullet proof, apart from one area which never seems to get mentioned, the engine bulkhead where the clutch cable passes through, they used to split and I had to have a metal patch put in, apparently this is a common fault.
Similar issues with a couple of Saab convertibles I've owned but there was/is an aftermarket repair available
Yeah scirocco,s did it as well there was a modification you could buy to strengthen the bulkhead
On a Wednesady... Lol.
Did you not upload this a while back Al? I remember watching this before.
One day someone will convert all of Al's Sprinters back to original. Wrong motor, wrong cab too long body....
Hi Al. That's a MK3 engine, not a MK2.
@6DDIESELSDorset have you the bits listed for sale yet on ebay?
I’ve already seen this one 🤔😅
No I haven’t! I’ve seen the beginning I think
As soon as I hear the music, I smile.
Same 👍
Hi Al
Is this an older video?
No fella fairly current we picked it up a couple of weeks agro, only had time to get it in and look it over late last week 👍
I have just been thinking the same that I have watched this before
Any update on this build?
In stored at current she’s on this years list 👍
Is this an re upload? I’m sure I’ve seen it before
