- When my son was deployed with NMCB-1 "Seabees" from May 2011 to February 2012 he left his car with me. I did a little more work on it than he was expecting. Rebuild the complete car for him when he returned. Its was a fun project to do for him. Thanks to all that helped and the online help from Pelican Parts, VW Vortex and MIVE!

You Sir, are an amazing father. Well done he deserves every single piece of that car. God bless!
I wish somebody would overhaul my Golf Gti like that. That was a great thing to do for your son.
Brought tears of joy to my eyes. If only some of us black sheep could have a very loving and considerate family like that...your dad just made my day.
:)
You sir your son is a hero for serving his country but you just made yourself a dad that every son in the world wants to have
This overhauling is much cooler when a dad does it for his son. Great job dad!!
You get the BEST DAD EVER award. Greta job!!!
The last of the Real GTI. When they were not bloated and full of crap you do not need. Light, fun, easy to fix, with character and style.
This brought a smile to my face. Faith in humanity has been restored. I love it.
That's a great a Dad! Mine was gone 3 years ago and I'm restoring his mk2 90 GL +OEM plus. Mk2 will always be the BEST CAR for our generation. Cheers to all mk2 lovers!
Simply Awesome! Great seeing a father taking care of his son. Awesome GTI by the way!! Hopefully you will keep it! Don't ever get rid of it!
I'd like to thank your son for his incredible service to our nation
You are the father everyone would like to have right now. Nice job sir!
I had the same Car!
Those Golfs are such good Cars!
Greetings from Germany
Well done Sir, a perfect gift for a son coming home. The car looks absolutely perfect and your son is safe and sound.
Gees buddy, give your dad a hug.
he did
you are a great father, the car looks really really good, you have all my respect ... i wish i had a father like you
Great to see a beautiful old mars red mk2 properly restored without being ruined. Even better though is seeing your boy home safe. Great video thanks for posting
You are great Dad,mine dad bought Golf 2 and we are tunning him together i cant describe that feeling working with my dad on my first car
Wow car came out mint it looks brand new. He looks happy as hell mission accomplished. That was a very cool thing a dad could do for his son & he definitely deserves the car & and you. I'm 39 & till this day my dads my best friend & cant get enough of hanging out with him & working on cars. Exellent video & thanks for reminding everyone about the most important things in life.
Your son is very lucky to have you as a father. Flawless MK2 GTI.
Wow, You are one AWEsome Dad, That car is beyond nice. Actually, the paint job itself would be better then the original. He was all smile the whole time.
Everyone wishes they had a dad like that. It made me tear up a bit! Great dude.
Though this is 6 years ago this brought a tear to my eyes...the inner fight of your son between the tough soldier and the overwhelmed young man standing amidst his loving family....the priceless smile on your sons face when he started the engine and reved it a little...God...these moments are so precious...From the bottom of my heart I hope that your family is well and wish you all the best.Thank you for a very special video.Cheers,Roger.
My family is like that, we love each other, but we don't show it the way others may with hugs etc. Though, he did hug his Dad after a while. You can tell he totally appreciated it,
So glad to be a part of MIVE
nice family, nice car and thank you for your service sir for keeping our great nation safe. hope you still have the car and enjoying it.
I f**** love this car!! Good job Father and rest who helped for this car,Your son seems very happy and thats good..!!! :D
My brother had one like this in Spain but white. I've only seen another restoration with the same level of quality. You guys are professionals. I congratulate you on the job.
So beautiful, my father and I also restored my tornado red MK4 Jetta that I got as my first car to oem+ and it truly is a rewarding experience. I love that car now and is priceless to me.
I wish I had a dad like that. That's a lot of love... All my dad did while I was deployed was divorce my mom leaving me responsible for keeping a roof over her head.
Damn dude. Thats fucked up...
Your a good dad buddy, from a dad in Scotland, respect,,,,,,,
Dad of the Century! I owned three MK2 GTIs, a Tornado Red 1986 8V, a 1989 Alpine White 16V, and a 1992 Montana Green 2.0 16V. Brings back great memories. Fantastic little cars. I hope your son keeps this a long time.
+hpathree I have a Tornado Red 1992 16v. Once had a new Montanna Green one, I often wonder where it went. It was a repo when I was a 21 yr old. Family had a financial collapse. I loved that color, but also love my red one. Did all the neuspeed stuff I want to do, too.
+djkenny Sweet, man. I know the feeling. Cheers!
reminds me of my dad. i plan on going to the navy soon and i honestly hope that i can buy my mom and dad something nice one day. my parents have done tons for me and i hope that i can help them... though they help me more than i can them. dag gone awesome parents always being awesome
CAR CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL!!!! FATHER JUST THE BEST!!! CONGRATS BROTHER....
Way to go dad, and thanks for your service son.
What a GREAT, unique car, and an even GREATER dad! Oh... and THANKS for your service!
mars red is my favourite vdub colour! an awesome project, what a great dad!
Very nice job. Well done sir. I think that as time goes on your son will appreciate what you've done even more.
one of the worlds greatest dad, a mom loves to stop people for nothing, and a lucky boy..
Money is not the issue in this case. Love and respect are the keywords in this video.
You've got a cool dad, Someday I will want to do the same for my son if I can!
Absolutely excellent! What a dad and a man you are!
Well done for not lowering and ruining it.
BackInAGiffy na looks too pedestrian
That thing is a beauty.. That might be the world's best homecoming gift.
I like peoples who knows that (special old) cars have a spirit. Congratulations from Poland, excuse me for my english.
That's what a father suppose to do ! Nice family, all the best !
You are one cool-ass dad. My first car was a t. red mk2 GTI as well but looked nothing like this. Well done, sir.
True definition of a cool loving dad!
That's the best looking overhauled car I have seen! really nice work dad.
You must be the wold's greatest dad! I wish my dad fixed my GTI while I was gone....
very cool! He will become a great man with a father like that.
Coming from another sailor, you sir, are a kick ass dad. Great job on the car.
what an awesome dad!!!! best gift ever!
Looks really nice ! I'm sure your son is even more happy then what he shows ! good father
All i can say is WOW...what a great dad and congratulations to his son...this is every sons dream. hats off to all those involved in getting the car into this shape. Hope you look after it bro. its a real gem.
Wish my dad shared my passion or knew that I love my cars and actually supported me. He finds hobbies a waste of time/money and we are not close to each other because of our differences. When I was gone for the Army, wish my dad did something like this for me. You're a great dad to help your son out like that.
Awesome job Dad! Thank you to your son for serving! There are a lot of us here in this country that are very grateful for everything he and other military members do for us.
to a fellow Dad, well done. He comes from good stock.
Very nice mk2 as well.
Best way to let him know how much you love him!! congrats from Mexico
nice job....
You sir are the best father, congratulations.
That re-spray looks sooooo good. sooooo shiny! Excellent job! What an aweome, loving family, good taste in car's too! I love MK2's! I want one some day
way cool dad. thanks for you service sir. bless your troups.
The way chicks love videos of kittens/puppies... i go crazy for vids like this.
Top bloke Dad! You've inspired me to crack on with my 97 red GTI.
Beautiful work. Complete turnaround. I'm at a loss for words to be honest.
and best dad of the year award goes to you sir. amazing job, and a special thanks to your son for defending our country
I had a 86, 87 GTI and a 93 Golf GL hooked up. I love these cars.
I've had two '84 Gti's (a silver with blue interior and a black with red interior) and a '92 Gti (same as the one in this video). I too love these cars. My son will be learning to drive in about a year and a half, he'll get my hand me down Honda Element and I'll be shopping for either a new Gti or a Golf R.
The car is beautiful and well deserved for you son!
I'm moved by what that father did. Really a great job sir! Car looks awesome!
Do I ever love seeing a MK2 with paint like that!! :) very nice project!!!
Chip Foose wants a Dad like you congratulations!!!
Great, great !!! Beautifull original GII view without tuning. Perfect !!!
His Smile of Appreciation is so worth every Moment of your Labor of Love :o)
One of a kind...Love it..Thank you for the time you put in the Army..Cheers John from Toronto Canada
This is awesome. Great looking car also

You sir are the coolest father ever! That is too cool you restored your son's Golf while he was fighting for our freedom! Way to go! Thank you for showing that people are still thoughtful, and thank your son for fighting for us! :)
You sir are an amazing dad
I had a similar one, and this one here it's a beauty! Thanks for sharing and awesome job!
Good job dad, what an awesome thing to do.
What a father.
Man, when i started to "twink" my mk2 Golf i used to think:
"do really worth all the work and love i'm putting on this machine?!?"
But when you finish... It really feels good! and this video really shows that.
The car is gorgeous!
what a great dad.....love the smile on the sons face!
Wow, a beautiful 2-door Golf. I was just at the dealer, the only 2-door can available new is the Beetle, according to the salesperson! Again, great job!
God bless your family. Thank God your son is home safe.
That is just awesome! Thank you for the video and thank your son for his service !
You're a great dad. Keep it up!
You sir are an amazing father
Hey Brother Awesome Dad and and Wicked wheels..LOVE IT!
Very great looking car! There are very nice little details on it like the red trims in the interior!
Top dad you remind me of my dad.Dads are the the best-----and mums as well : )
Very nice! I bet it is well appreciated. I can say I had some of the best times of my life in or around an 83 gti mk1.
this makes me teary. Thanks so much for sharing. That's truly a great thing, to do the best you can for your son, while he serves the country and more. I bet your heart lit up to see him so happy, I'm sure his was too. Great work, go VW!
