Looks good ! Seats are amazing, wish we had them here in Aus. You're a machine bro, removing the bolt to take off the steering wheel isnt easy... And you just muscled it off. Keen to see the next update!!
Cool looks! Thank you) I too have mk5, but it’s universal and 1.6, but I very like this car) do as much as you can with sun, and when he grow, he remember it all) have a good day
For the hard brake you should of just swapped the covers as its just held in by a clip on the bottom. You just pry it up and slide it off. If you pull it all the way up you'll see a small u cut out. Thats the clip holding it in.
@tino2705 I have been told this, I do wish someone came along with this info before I dismantled my car🤣🤣. I learned a thing or two though. Thank you for the help💪🏿
@aguycalledjoe7802 once you do the interior a few time you can do all the seat in under half an hour. My first mk5 I had to replace the carpet due to holes under the driver's foot. I do wish we would have gotten this interior in the states.
Yes I am more confident about replacing an interior. You sound like a pro compared to me🤣. Did you guys not get this interior in the States? Did you all not get the Edition 30 over there?
@aguycalledjoe7802 nope we didn't get the edition 30. With my new mk5 I'm building it with a lot of parts off aliexpress so see if it's worth it. The tsi roller conversion foe under 200 is well worth the money, as well as the real carbon fiber mirrors, carbon fiber ebrake cover and the carbon fiber steering wheel. The under body braces are also not bad but the prices now are just about the same as retail here.
Fantastic job you & your son have done I love the fact that you look for the finer details like the badge. It’s so nice to repair replace or renew and go the extra mile. Your ed30 looks great To have the draws in the front seats the first owner wanted top specs or it could have been dealership demo ?? I’m going to look for some draws for my mk5. Great video thank you
@jonathonbrett-qn1ic thank you mate. So far this GTI has been a pleasure to work on. Everything works & everything is where it should be, no horrible surprises. Yes it could have been a demo with the spec its got
Nice build so far, but wouldn’t it just have made sense to buy an edition 30 in the first place, considering you’ve bought; seats, steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake, wheels, rear valance, rear lights and splitter? Just personal opinion but I’d take the plaque off in case there is an original owner that is missing one and secondly why would you want a plaque for a non edition 30?
Hi @flight89swan I have asked myself the same question🤣. It might have made more sense to many people to buy an Edition 30 & it might have been easier as well but I have decided to do my build this way & I am enjoying it. As for the plaque, bro don't take it too serious, it was just a bit of joke really. Appreciate the opinions though🙂.
@petrolvectors thank you. Get those parts ordered bro. My partner is thinks I have developed a problem because new parts arrive for the GTI on a daily🤣🤣
Amazing work, I have an MK5 Jetta with the same exterior color and the same interiors as well I'm planning to upgrade to the same seats, cluster and steering wheel (but for Mk6) you choose and your videos really helped to see how the colors would go together. Thank you Sir 👍🏼
Yes sir, I bought it 2 months ago and it's my first car ever, I'm planning to work on it bit by bit. and I wanted to ask you Sir, are you done with the MK5 or is there any new videos on the way??
@alianan3206 I would have loved a mk5 Jetta as my first car, I had to settle for a lot lot less🤣. Yes all the videos I am making right now are on the mk5 Golf GTI. I have uploaded quiet a few. They are all on the channel or in my playlist, feel free to check them out👍🏿
You have pretty much got what you need there ? The only thing you need now is the ed 30 sill plates for the drivers and passenger door frames. The front seat drawers are quite rare, i’ve been looking for a pair for quite a while.
@andydunn1878 I have been quite lucky to locate most of the parts when I needed them but the Ed30 sill plates seem an impossibility. Oh by the way, my front seat drawers are now stuffed full with supermarket carrier bags🤣🤣.
Still following the build, just bought my KO4 turbo, your edition 30 steering wheel, are the paddle shift extensions stuck on, or the screw on ones, I'm not feeling the ones that stick so if yours are screw on I'm upgrading the steering wheel at least
Hi @sbr1160, my extended steering wheel shifters have tiny screws in them so I can only assume they are screwed in place. They could also have both adhesive & screws but I bought my steering wheel with them already installed so I'm not 💯
@@aguycalledjoe7802 No you've answered what I wanted to know buddy, I want the screw on ones, not the adhesive ones, did you have to code the steering wheel to the car or was it just swap and go?
@deniswahome7482 thanks for the kind words👍🏿. I still have the parts I removed from the car. I do need to sell them but have not had the time to list them.
Nothing like working with your kids. I subscribed just because I could see what a caring father you were plus you're a vw owner to boot.
@tommyvanpelt2408 much appreciated for the sub👍🏿. I hope my son learns his skills a lot earlier than I did.
man i luv finding smaller channels like urs
@yearight6294 keep watching 👀👍🏿
Looking good joe 2 pair of hands is better than one,hope you've still got.some more videos to come 👍
@adamsheldrick4800 ha ha trust me, those extra hands were needed at the time. Yes keep watching more vids are planned👍🏿
Well done looks a million bucks, top job you and your son did. :) Nice GTI
Thank you so much🙂
Hey @TechReviews2010 thank you so much🙂
I would buy the ones you took out for the right price, nice father son job
@silverbackpeppers I sold them a long time ago. I needed the funds to help pay for other parts. My son has been a massive help with this project🙂.
Was worth a shot, nice one anyway
Always worth a shot👍🏿
Looks good ! Seats are amazing, wish we had them here in Aus.
You're a machine bro, removing the bolt to take off the steering wheel isnt easy... And you just muscled it off.

That bolt was harder to loosen than I expected it to be, I wish someone had warned me beforehand🤣.
What an enjoyable video! Such an underrated channel! I love the MK5 GTI, especially in that colour!
@smhjoe thank you very much🙂.
omg so nice interior !!!
Cool looks! Thank you) I too have mk5, but it’s universal and 1.6, but I very like this car) do as much as you can with sun, and when he grow, he remember it all) have a good day
I totally agree with you @bogdanchernetskiy4945. The mk5 golf is a nice car to work on & both me & my son are both learning at the same time. 👍🏿
Upgrading is always awesome. Great job bru.
Thanks bro👍🏿
Subbed ❤ great content 👌 my first car interior change I've watched haha
Thank you🙂

Great project coming on nicely! I want to order parts now! 😂
@petrolvectors thank you. Get those parts ordered bro. My partner is thinks I have developed a problem because new parts arrive for the GTI on a daily🤣🤣
@@aguycalledjoe7802the only part I've ordered is a tarpaulin to keep the winter weather off! Santa may have something for me though 🤞

@@aguycalledjoe7802 i put my shopping bags in the net under the parcel shelf 😉
Under the parcel shelf sounds like a good place for storage👌🏿.
Looks great! Where’s the shifter from? Have you got a link? Thanks
@jamienelson2670 the shifter is from the USA. The details are in the description🙂

No you've answered what I wanted to know buddy, I want the screw on ones, not the adhesive ones, did you have to code the steering wheel to the car or was it just swap and go?
@@sbr1160no coding needed because it is basically like for like.
@@aguycalledjoe7802
Cool beans, you're a star buddy, keep them videos coming
Great stuff man, love the edition 30 outlook. Quick question, what did you do with the parts you removed?
@deniswahome7482 thanks for the kind words👍🏿. I still have the parts I removed from the car. I do need to sell them but have not had the time to list them.
@@aguycalledjoe7802 if you still have the steering wheel, I'd be interested. Please let me know. Thanks.
