Congrats on the floor. It looks so much better than I could have done it. Kudos!
Cheers dude
Great job Dan this looks awesome and can tell from the big grin on your face your back on track. 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Ian! i was so happy it was all back in and looking good!
Spot on mate, it’s looking wicked!! The internet will always say you done it the wrong way 😄
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Glad you enjoyed it. I am surprised I haven't had many negative comments!
Dan, Tek Screws are self drilling, available from screwfix and have a hex head. Much faster and simpler than cleco or having to pre drill holes.
Well done, nice job and good to see you happy with the project again.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Gary. Yeah I should probably buy some but haven't got round to it! Glad you are enjoying it!
I'm currently at the "I bit off way more than I can chew" phase of the exact same project, and I also don't have a nice rotisserie. Next couple of days should be fun 😅 good work thanks for the inspiration
Thank you! You have given me the guts to try doing this myself. I have a barnfind '75ish (small bumpers, no title) Polo S with a very bad passanger side. My girlfriend actually stepped through the floor trying to take out the seats :-)
Great work Dan your on a roll
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Martin. I want to keep the momentum!
Cracking job. You'll soon have it back on the road
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Darren. Hopefully mid next year 🤞
@@DanChambersDAC your making it interesting to watch from a beginner's perspective. And also making me get enthusiasm for another project after a crap year
Very impressive - looking good.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Chris. Glad you enjoyed it.
Mint. You make it look easy bud!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Duncan.
Very very nice Dan. I really respect the fact that you are saving as much of the original shell as possible, so the spirit of the original car will still exist. Nice job. 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Phil. Glad you are enjoying it bud.
This build is absolute gold. I cannot believe you are not over 20k subs yet. You and your content deserve 1 million+. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Stacy. I am chasing it so hard! The views seem to have picked up a little. I think I need another small quick turnaround project going on at the same time... Thank you so much for the nice comment.
Amazing job ! You make it look easy
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Hopefully the otherside will be easier!
You are doing a great job. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. Glad you enjoyed it.
Cooking on gas now Dan lad. That new floor looks mega 👍🏽
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Peter. It's certainly heading in the right direction!
We have a Mk6 Golf, and have become massive Golf fans. Can't wait to see your Golf when it's done!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment John. Ahh nice, I can't either!
To see the relief in your face when it was done was great, such an honest reaction. From now on in the rest will be easy. Happy days Dan.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Rob. It really was a massive relief. I have been worrying, Hoping to not forget to do everything in the right order. I think I managed it OK.
Dude, this looks brilliant! You have def done an “A1” job. Cheers 🍻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David. I was a little happy with them! can you tell?
Great work Dan, we have all been there, whilst doing a big project and you get that horrible feeling that it's too big of a job, but all you can do is not give up, and keep on, bit by bit. Respect to you for not letting your head drop.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Martin. Exactly, No one ever shows it on build series/TV series etc so I want to show the realities of it all. We all have wobbles but it's how you deal with them that matters!
Dan keep it up all will come together and it will look fantastic just keep going 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud! It's getting there slowly!
Well done Dan! What a massive achievement, no wonder you are so pleased with the progress you have made.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Eleanor. Could you tell I was happy?!
@@DanChambersDAC To be honest I thought you deserved a shout out after all you’ve done on this project. I am so impressed with how you work through each problem to fix it. I started watching your T5 videos as we have a T6 camper 🙂 Good luck and keep doing what you do!
Unbelievably good!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it.
Another great video mate 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Thomas.
You don't brilliant job on that and I'm glad you got a guard on the grinder
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment dude!
A true projectionist ....looks awesome ! Well done Dan
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Mark. Turned out OK didn't it!
Looking well Dan your flying with it
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Holly.
I find folk only tell you how to do something after you done it.... nice
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Very true!!!
Their will always be some to say. You don’t want to do it like that , you want to do it like this. Keep true to yourself and keep up the great videos. We are all different and have a different way to do things and get it do right. Stay safe
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Samuel. Exactly, If we were all the same it would be boring! I am amazed I haven't had the arm chair panel beaters commenting yet! Must have done something right 🤷♂️
Happy days Danny Boy! You look as happy as a pig in shit fella! Made up for you dude.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really enjoying this series, its going to look tremendous when done. I did a Golf 20 odd yrs ago, no roll jig, and almost no chassis or floor panels then either, so I totally understand how much work you are doing. You are a natural at the fabbing and welding, plenty been at it for years and doing much poorer work.
Well done, looking forward to seeing the finished car.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David. Glad you enjoyed it. The rollover jig in invaluable! makes everything so much easier! Thank you for saying so bud. Learning every day.
So jealous of you being able to do all of that, and have the time to do it! I've got a 1971 Opel GT back at home, and it could do with a complete strip and sandblasting as well. I already bought an original engine about 3 years ago, but still haven't got the time to fix it up... I hope that in a couple of years time I own my own house with garage, that would definitely make things easier. Keep up the good work! Love watching the whole process!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Peet. I have wanted to do this for so long. I am so grateful that I can now do it full time. Problem is that I don't have an income!!! Good luck with yours bud.
Looks very good Dan. For someone with no welding experience you have done well. Great build. Look forward to your videos in this horrible time.
Take care and all the best.
Martin.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Martin. Glad you are enjoying them. I am so pleased with how quickly I am picking this up, still so much to learn but I am getting there!
Another milestone in the build, you look so pleased and excited about your achievements and rightly so. Look how far you have come since this project and the skills you are perfecting. Really enjoying your channel and looking forward to the next one
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Barry. I keep forgetting at how quickly this has all happened! Glad you are enjoying the content bud!
Great work Dan, funny to watch how casually you mention bits that you’ve done without thinking, that would have been really difficult for you and a whole video at the start!? Progress on all fronts ... Kudos pal 🤙🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David. It's mad isn't it! I hadn't picked a welder up 3 months ago!
Look at his little face....
Great work Dan. No more yabba dabba doo!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Rob. Can you tell I was happy?!
I'm so happy for you.
It's coming together. 👍🏾
F*ck yea! Bout to tackle this as well. This was so helpful and entertaining!
Thats brilliant job on floor just like a professional your getting better and better as you go along ,love the videos
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Malcolm. Glad you enjoyed it. I am so happy how they have turned out! I am learning so much every day!
Well done Dan you are a inspiration to all of us guys with patience and perseverance anything is possible. Loving the content and series 👌 👏 stay safe
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Stuart. So glad you guys are enjoying it! It is amazing me at how much this whole process has calmed me!
Sterling effort Dan! Making me envious. Its interesting to see how all the typical rot spots progress over the years, had a lot in the same places but caught them early 16yrs ago when a also did a full strip down on my 1980 MK1 driver - though far more DIY lol. She's still on the road today coz the intervention.. Had to get someone else to do inner and outer sills 2 years ago though :(. Respect making it look factory!
Look forward to the next installment... Stay safe, Jules
Ps Heritage have been a lifesaver for years!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jules, Glad you enjoyed it! I think this car may be a little worse as it sat outside uncovered for a number of years. The sunroof leaked and the wiring grommets were not in place in the boot so it was letting water in everywhere. Nice dude! Do good to know you saved a piece of motoring history.
That floor looks amazing, great job Dan. 👌👍
Cheers bud.
Amazing work and progress Dan, my hat of to you. Cant wait to see when this beauty is all done.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kristijan. Glad you are enjoying it! I can't either!
Please do your best until the end‼️
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
Looking great, Dan! The progress you’re making is fantastic!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David, Glad you enjoyed this one!
10/10. Job make keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud.
Great job!
Great work Dan!!! Looks great mate!! It's coming along really well!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Anthony. Glad you enjoyed it.
Spectacular job Dan..5game changer in skill levels and proper confidence builder for the project. Lots done too! 😎👍✅
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Andrew, Glad you enjoyed it! I gained so much confidence from this area! Hopefully the other side goes as smooth!
Good stuff dan,a milestone in the build 👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bro. Such a massive milestone!
So nice!!! Keep up the good work! Greatings from Sthlm Sweden.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Filip.
It's going to be a beauty.... Nice to see you loving it.... Tomorrow always a better day it won't be long till you have the other side done... Can't wait to see your smile then... Keep up the good work dan 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Carl. Hopefully it will turn out OK! I really enjoyed this one. Learning so much. I am finding the day's that get me down are the ones where I am doing small time consuming repairs as it doesn't feel like I am getting anywhere. I am going to make a start on the other side next week 😎
@@DanChambersDAC yes but all these little repairs do take time and need doing don't rush any off them. It one big jigsaw and it will be finished seeing what your doing is great. So be it if somethings take longer then others look where you will be by spring.... 👍
Your making this look easy Dan!. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Colin. It's the editing 🤣 You don't see the hours of me sitting staring at it wanting it to sort itself out!
Wow, you have done an amazing job on the floor, coming together mate.👏👍😄
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Nick. It is all starting to come together!
Massive progress bud ...it’s getting close , keep up the pace 🇬🇧✊🏻👍👍👍👍👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jim.
More amazing footage. Love it. Keep it going.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Darren. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, absolutely chuffed for you.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Matthew! I was a little happy with how it turned out!
dude, this is next level, awesome work, loving the videos!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment bud! Glad you enjoyed it!
Buzzing for you mate, looks proper good that! Well done buddy 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Daniel, Glad you enjoyed it. I am so happy it is in and OK!
Doing a great job, definitely starting to look the part.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jonathan. Looking so much better!
Looking sweet Dan, be painting it before you know it!!!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Martin, Hopefully! I can't wait to see it sat there in it's brand new Mars Red paintjob!
Looking nice! Glad to see you buzzing after getting the floor done buddy 👌🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jay. Such a good feeling getting that floor in!
@@DanChambersDAC no worries Dan, and sorry about the ping pong emails sorting the beanie order out, much appreciated 👌🏻
Brilliant work, I’m having a go at repairs on my escort rs turbo and theses videos help loads. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kevin. Glad they are helping you. That is exactly why I wanted to do them as I couldn't find any decent detailed video's on a full car restoration.Glad they are helping.
Dan , well I have well enjoyed that , that nice new solid floor is looking spanking , you face says it all. It is looking like a car again. Fantastic work.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment dude, Glad you enjoyed that one! I am so happy I got that all back together!
Fantastic work been doing this work years and ur doing a good job 👏
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Carl. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for saying it looks ok!
Top work Dan, I always had faith that you'd get it back together ;)
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kevin. I am glad someone had faith 🤣
Top class mate!
Cheers dude.
Looks amazing Dan! I need to do the floor on my mk3 Jetta/Vento vr6. This is giving me the confidence that I may be able to do it myself with some practice.
Can't wait to see some paint on this beauty.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kyle. Go for it! what's the worst that can happen. You don't know if you can do it until you have tried! Just think and plan it out as best you can before you go cutting too much. Let me know how you get on dude. I can't wait to see it in paint either!
@@DanChambersDAC you're welcome! For sure I will let you know how it goes when I do it.
Thx for the video great one 👍🚗😊
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kjeld.
Your doing brilliant 😍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Dude 👊
Nice work again mate, bet it really feels like you've turned a corner!! Congrats. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Christopher! Massively! It felt at one point like it was never going back together!
Hello a great video and a perfect work 👍👍👍👍 from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kai 👊
I'm quite looking forward to when you dinitrol or whatever the underside. It's gonna be such a clean job whilst there's nothing under it!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud, So am I! It will transform the carl. Just spraying primer on the area's you have worked on makes a massive difference!
Unreal job Dan. Watching you do this has made me want to tackle some welding on my own project. I've ordered a sealy welder to get me started. Would you mind showing us or just letting me know what settings you have your welder on just so I have a starting point.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment James. Glad you enjoyed it! Awesome dude! Well worth it bud. You will save a fortune and the job satisfaction is amazing! So I am using 0.6mm Steel wire, 95% Argon 5% Co2 Gas mix, I have the welder on Low 1, Wire speed 8-9 for thin steel panels, and for anything a little thicker I turn it up to Low 2. You just have to have a play really. Playing with steel on a bench is totally different to playing on a car though. I am still working it out every day. Good luck though dude!
Awesome job my friend you should of done this and that and then this way lol do it your way bud 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment John, Amazed I haven't had the armchair panel beater comments I expected! I must have done an OK job!
Looks like a good job to me.....
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
great stuff, i will b doing something similar nxt year but hobbyist n i was wondering what welder your using. Thnks
Thank you for watching and for the comment Bud! Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure how many you have watched but I hadn't done anything like this before I bought this! I am using a Sealey MightyMig 150 Welder with 0.6mm Wire and 95% Argon 5% Co2 Gas. Working pretty well so far.
At least you don't look like Shaggy from scoobydoo now you have had your head trimmed! (",) Top job, PS the Heritage discount is working well with my T25 restoration!
🤣 A trim was very much needed. I blame Lockdown 2, The return of the mop.
Glad you are getting use of the code too dude!
Good work Dan, how are you planning to rust proof all the internal metal pieces, long term I doubt weld through primer will work,
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment, I am using weld through as a temp measure. Planning on buying a wax system that goes onto the compressor and see if it can put primer through it first using the '360 degree fan nozzle' to get the paint everywhere before I go back through with the wax. That's the plan anyway.
I can see your breath fella. Did the diesel heater not work out?
Hate to see you cold!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jim. Yeah it's freezing in the workshop! The diesel heater doesn't even think about taking the edge off! I need to earn some money in views to be able to buy a new better heater!
@@DanChambersDAC I'll buy you a propane heater if it helps mate.
Need to have a plaque on the car, “built in Leicestershire “, great job
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment John. Now there's an idea! Limited edition 1 of 1 DAC industries!
@@DanChambersDAC knew I was good for something
If you want a mk2 golf got 16v to do next, these one up north for you 😜
🤣 You donating it to the channel?! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Danny 👊
Dan can I have your old roof skin please when you’ve finished????
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Simon. You can do, I am not sure how much will be left though as I may need to cut a lot of it to leave the shell of the car intact.
@@DanChambersDAC
Thanks mate. Got one with a really bad roof and could do with a few cuts
Whilst its a great job, truly is, I think the best part about this particular video is how much you tried to hide your grin. You failed, but rightly so, great job.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Martin! I was and am so so happy that it is in and sorted!
Bite off as much as you want ..keep chewing that’s the answer ..as for this way and that way screw them do it your way cos it’s working out amazing bud
vw made in Germany;not, Made in UK.
Yes they were.
Every winter somebody should slash the tires of that big truck that salts the roads,I'd rather be housebound than go thru what you are having to do....
😂😂😂 it’s a car killer
got rid of the rust rats ???
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Frank, Not sure what your question is?
