The dash looks amazing, me personally I would do a black steering wheel just for a bit of contrast and maybe a grey racing line/ centre line on the wheel
A vr5 swap would suit the car nicely imo. Not a big fan of the dash but can appreciate the work that's gone into the car. Looking forward to your next steps.
Love it mate! Dash really ties everything together. Whilst starting another project sounds tempting, surely doing something with the engine is the next step. Looking forward to what comes next either way 👍
Thanks dude.. if you think in the life of youtube everything is fast moving, If I commit to an engine swap it would take some time to source and install, in that time I wouldn't be uploading any footage or I can still upload with a project car and do the engine swap down the line reviving life in an old project
Nice project, good to see the MK2 getting some attention. Your interior work is involved yet subtle, there's a definite retro vibe to the material choice yet still brings an updated, not modern finish. Unfortunately the same can't be said for those Chinesium headlights that clash with the other exterior period correct additions. Overall, impressive work....and I love your tissue dust mask nostril plugs.
I suggest get another project car to refresh. Then later down the line swap the engine or drive train on one of the projects. That way you can enjoy them and then decide which needs a swap
Nice easy 16v on carbs/ITB’s would be very nice in that. Swapped out my 1.6 for a 16v on twin 45’s in 2020 and it was great fun and sounded great. Done for just over £1000 and in a week.
Personally I have my mk3 project/show car that I’m never gunna sell because of the sentimental value and resto work I’ve done , and that the car is associated with me. I would love to get another project and cycle through other cars, but I’ll always have the mk3 that I’ll never sell. Maybe keep the mk2 as the show car and get another project idk it’s up to you
I would also add led lights into the bumper indicators. Now the bumper indicators fade in and out when blinking, however the indicators in the headlights are immediately on/off and to me this makes it look they don't lighr up together. I like the style of these headlights tho!
Really nice car. What's missing here apart from an engine swap is some wind deflectors. I think it would complete the sick look of the car with the LED front ligts, the body kit and the wheels
There is a guy on UA-cam from Texas (Korosumyself) who gets Japanese cars from scrapyards and rebuilds them with parts from scrapyards. I'd be curious to see what you come up with in the UK using VWs.
@@Project7YT I would buy one from you, its an idea for you to play with. they are very popular in the southern states in trucks like my '93 Chevy c1500, the entire dash is so brittle and the sun damage we get in North America is a problem
Great content, am glad you did the heater matrix job, it’s horrible but definitely worth it on dash removal 👍🏼 engine swap, I’d look for bargains around, plenty out there, scrapyard challenge would be EPIC 😊 As for the dash, having seen it in the flesh it’s a work of art, the level of work that’s gone into that is crazy Well done 👏🏼 🫶🏻
I would say get another project and then collect stuff to do an engine swap for the mk2 meanwhile and just do it in the future. I would love to see a passat b3 or b4 :P
@Project7YT we have a lot of them here in South Africa they came out with the mk1 velociti. I don't think it will look good wrapped but you have the vision car looks sweet
@MK1_252 yes you guys are lucky 😂 I had to get mine from the Netherlands I have my new project reveal today going live in about 3 hours so I'm going to work on that for a bit and maybe come back to the mk2
@@Project7YT we'll be getting them mad cool faces you pull when you love something when you do a engine swap and the noise you'll get from the exhaust 🤪
Hi Lewis, I love a scrap yard mooch and the idea of a scrap yard challenge. I think you could really get a following breathing life into a forgotten oldie. The only thing i would say and please take this as constructive and not a b1tch please can you work on your camera skills. You do awesome cinematics and static camera shots, but the hand-held stuff is making me a bit motion sick and over familiar with looking up your nose. I only say this because I want you to do well.
The dash looks amazing, me personally I would do a black steering wheel just for a bit of contrast and maybe a grey racing line/ centre line on the wheel
That's not a bad idea, I've even been considering a new steering wheel
@@Project7YTyeah it’s the tiny details that make a big difference
Agreed!

It's been said before 🤷🏾♂️

Love the dash. Makes me want a tweed interior for my mk4.
I agree with some of the other comments I'd do a black steering wheel for a bit of contrast.
Thanks dude, let's do it then!
I think it needs some black yeah
Hi. Dashboard looks really good. Love all the updates so far , just needs an engine swop to complete the project.
Thanks dude, I'll get there eventually

These are my exact thoughts dude I can keep the uploads going aswell rather than stopping all together 🤙🏾🤙🏾

I do want another mk3, just finding a decent one
@@Project7YT that is the thing with mk3’s,, 😅
@@Project7YT Also, maybe you want an oem Well speced one, with good engine and better value if you’d sell that one… mk’3’s are pretty rare to see 😅
Just anything that makes sense on a content stand point

I really like the dash! I want a dash pad for my Golf, its annoying setting up the sunshade all the time
I could look into making them 🤔 I've seen lots of Americans use them

Another mk3 project would be cool on the channel 👍
I'm on the hunt for one as we speak 🤞🏾
I like the new lights 👌
Thanks dude
Love that new dash😍🇵🇱
♥️🙏🏾 thankyou dude
Good job bro 👊🏾
Thanks dude
what material did u buy to make your interior for doors, a pilar etc?
Harris tweed

It was worse in the heat aswell but its done now.
Officially on the hunt for a good project if you find anything
♥️🙏🏾
@@Project7YT let me know what your after and I’ll keep my ears to the ground, still got that headliner for you, as well as phase two🥳
Anything around mk2 age. Would like a nice mk3, oh yeah I'll have that now as I'm waiting on some work
Put a engine gti 8v it’s a solid engine and very fast if you want to spend little
👀 shhhh
I'd do the engine swap later down the road and enjoy the car as it is for a bit. In the meantime, I think you should get another Mk3 project.
Good idea man! Stay tuned for an update
Looks great 👍
Thanks
Looks amazing.
♥️🙏🏾 thanks alot
@@Project7YT Had a good look at the MK2 National Meet
@carlbarton772 buy it if you want 😂
@@Project7YT Got Project Vinnie mate, he takes all of my wages as is
Fair
Dude, leave the steering wheel the way it is. Go for 16v with throttles. Nice build. Looking awesome
Thats the only thing on the interior that's standard I have to do something to it 😂
I would say get another project and then collect stuff to do an engine swap for the mk2 meanwhile and just do it in the future. I would love to see a passat b3 or b4 :P
I'm staying towards a new project just as a new thing to do
Get another project car and do the mk2 engine swap later
Yeah I'm thinking to do that now
Cool dash ❤
Thanks
VR5 or VR6 would be sweet in this
Hell yeah
Scrap heap challenge sounds fun 😂. Definitely an engine swap and you know what is say to swap into it 😉😉
I've always wanted to do it!!
It needs an r32 but I don't have that kind of money, thinking of being a bit creative with it
Dash looks sweet as does the rest. Engine swap it . Make it go as good as it looks
♥️👌🏾
Don't do anything with the steering it ties in perfect with the interior
You won't believe how many people it offends 😂😂😂

down and zoomed in....Podders...need that 5v engine cover

New project car !!
🤙🏾🤙🏾 that's the words I need to hear
I think leave the steering wheel as it is looks perfect already
I'd like to do something with it
To me, your car is ready for a swap 😅I’m not into mk2’s but I like the bigger bumper one’s.. came here for the mk3 video’s! Some time ago…
Thanks dude maybe stick around as one might be back on the channel 🤞🏾
@@Project7YT i’ll stick around! Good looking things you build/ reupholster… 👍🏻
