- The body and shocks/suspension were in rough shape when I got the car, the engine and transmission were fine...this project was time consuming, but fun! All the work was done by me...except for the suspension work...and this is the first time I did anything like this. Thanks to all the "how to" videos on CZcams, couldn't have done it without!
- Auta a dopravní prostředky
I have a 95 golf and envisioned doing the exact same stuff to mine, removed molding and everything! that is so crazy! This car is exactly how I envisioned mine! I want to put shaved handles on it though.
I can't believe all the negative comments you got. I think my thumbs down finally got rid of jiminbmth's (Jim in Bournmouth?) comment. You did a pretty good job and thanks for sharing. Anyone extending the life of a VW deserves kudos in my book.
that's great good job most people would not have the balls to start something like this
Awsome job it's a mirror image of mine although my rim are black 5 spoke with chrome lip...2.L short ram intake exhaust F1 Stage 3 clutch....sooo much more and sooo much more to be done. I love that lil car....
Looks good! I can't believe the radical change in the overall look of the car.
i got one too... fun to work on .. good luck
That one is awsome, dude u did a great job, congrats!
Very nice car, I want to VW Golf 3 on my eighteenth birthday
omg a mk3 golf hatchback my dream first car cant find a second hand one in the uk no one wants to sell :( nice job and i think the car aint as bad as people saying here youv done a great job and if you find it fun do more id like to see more videos please :)
Nice work man!!
I smoothed out my rub strips on mine too, hell of a job to get right! You clearly had more patience than I did, well done bud (:
looks awesome
I think is pretty cool the color for a beginer.. Good job...
nice film thx for sharing
@dankbobby technically they are not hard to replace at all, but I did not do it myself because the springs need compressed and I do not have the tools. I would take it to a mechanic to do it because it's not very expensive ($80-100 for rear only)...or you could take them off yourself and then just take them to a mechanic to put the springs back on ($30-40)
I have watched a lot of DIY paint vids and some of them were an epic fail. Your car looks great except for the low sheen on the finished job. Great Effort!
good job!
sick, i want this car for my own also to customiz, i cant wait
very nice video, i have the same car, i was wondering how much you spent on the basics, like the color change and trim removal. if you remember, since this is 4 years old.
Set a rims and it will look class
those are angel eyes
they are not the stock gauge clusters. they are aftermarket gauges.
clear taillights would look better.Not clear,but only the blinker part white or transparent.if you search the on google pics you'll know what i mean.The headlights that didn't fit are awesome
Awesome job!! I wish I could paint my mk3 =( What paint did you use? thanks
hi mate great stuff. just wondering did you have to change the whole gauge cluster or just bought the LED light bulbs to get it looking like that?
I want to do the same thing to the trim on my golf.
would look better with different set of wheels...but at least you did all the work by yourself
@xxkoadyxx yes I did...I used the Bondo fiberglass resin because it will not crack like normal Bondo
WOAH i simply loved it! dont listen to these no life people that have to pay others in order to tune their cars... PLEASE install the other headlights they were amazing!! what kind of paint did you use? i wanna see the interior :)
I dunno what their talking about, This car looks good matte Black. XD
What did you use to smooth your bumper? i have some P38 laying around think that be ok?
damn right all that matters is what you think
great job!if you change the rims
Where abouts did you get the dash cluster from? Any links? :) great car by the way, I have a mk3 too, I absolutely love it! :)
4 years later and i still want to know it.
What did you use to fill the gap? Just the Fibreglass Jelly Resin? Did you use any Fibreglass material also?
It's not the best cause it's my first...but it does look better than in the pictures :)
Good shit man! :)
What's those headlights called? :D
My instrument cluster is awful and works only half of the time. What cluster do you have in yours?
I just bought a 98 Golf. How did you get the gauge cluster to light up like that? Mine appears to just have a few lights pointing at the gauges from above.
@bontzu where did u buy tht bracket set? I bought the same headlights for the same car. Would u mind telling me plz? Appreciate it.
i am trying to update the headlights as well for my cabrio 98, and i wanna ask if you need the special kit to do the update and why??
Oi meu amigo onde compro desse farol ae para mk3
did you fiberglass the side moldings flat?
hey, are they brake caliper covers? cheers
that was on the car when I got it...got rid of it....also I made the headlights fit eventually, after I posted this video
good job fk the haters. only thing i dislike are the rims change them pls!! get deep dish rims for a mk 3.
idk whats wrong with these ppl, i personally like the paint job and for doing it yourself thats even better, you people need to be more like this guy and do stuff other than bitch behind your computers
get some matte black wheels with those hid's
Slam it and stance it and then get new rims also tat it up with some stickers lol...
i respect everyone's different choices but... u shoulda kept the door moldings and those wheels and single exhaust look like they belong on a honda, and seriously lower that baby
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ...
well at least I know it's my crap...I did all of that in my spare time...for fun...but someone who films dogs humping rabbits probably has a different notion of fun than me
Fuck the haters, a vw is a vw. I love pontiac and vw. Only cars i drive and own...
i have a GL :D
bought everything from ebay
should have kept it red :/
The music -_____-
I found one for 150$... I'm kinda suspicious of it thou .-.
What the hell not this fucking song
Get rid of the rims and the exhaust
wheels arent that nice
Automatically mute.
DO NOT SMOOTH YOUR GOLF OF LIKE THIS !!!!, weld and plate it up, Hope you used a plastic primer. Good effort but this is NOT the way to do it.
didt film that,its someone elses,get your facts straight! spare time,should of got a second job and bought a decent car LOL will look out for it now tho!
nice, but seriously that rims suck
der kann kein deutsch haha da kriegste wohl nie ne Antwort
the paint job kinda sucks
mate paint is ugly :/
Looks crappy
