I remember these. I had a blue MK II in Oxfordshire circa 1988/89 and then a MKII GTI which was, I best recall, was the self same colour as yours or else very similar? In my opinion these were better made than the Peugeot 205 Gtis they were up against and they were quicker and safer too. I drove the Gti across the Somme where the thing pulled 200km/h on the empty, open straights and then on down into Dijon and then further on down into the Cote d'Azur and back. These days, an eco boost Ford or such similar is about the right compromise - more particularly given our UK road conditions but also, and increasingly, in France too. Happy memories - a la researche du temps perdu :)
I’m surprised that you didn’t dice and slice the dash and convert it to right hand drive. Other than that it’s a fine example of your well loved Golf GTI. Fun project 👍
The drinking will happen, it just hadn't at the point this video was recorded (or the forthcoming viper one although the two swims in the iso bath for that one weren't anything to do with the tape)😁
Bravo Dave! Excellent bit of modeling! My favorite of your builds by far. Love it.
Very nice work Dave, your car came out great! I do really like that shade of green. All that hard work and masking really paid off!
My brother in law owned a red GTI.. same model.. fun car. Great work Dave!
Great idea painting the lenses.
Now, you have me missing my GTI. A Porsche 944 Turbo replaced the GTI.
Thanks Dave, always enjoy your projects.one of my most favorite channels.keepup the good work.
Splendid work, Dave! And it appears to run just as good as it looks. Excellent video. 👍

Your skill level has leveled up!!! Looks great
Great job Dave, The car came out fantastic
Well done man! That was some finicky masking. The results are worth the effort!
masking up is quite relaxing, unmasking can get nervy though haha
Cool little build, Dave
Very nice video. You have a lot more patience than I🏁
Beautiful Golf! Very nice job!!

Golf GTI. Fun project 👍
I thought about it but it looked like there was a hundred ways to ruin it and not many that would go ok
Oooooh that's a good job! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looking good
Skills ❤
Drives nicely
bit of a cheat as it's "no mag" but inline motor and the motor is full of mag lol
@@slotr that’s not a cheat! That’s just the way to go!
@@PeterLufrano for racing yes, but for fun, I like a anglewinder with a bit of drift :)
@@slotr like a……..revo or BRM!
@@PeterLufrano I've got a BRM itch recently that is going to need scratching soon
Steering wheel on the left??
that's the one set of options they don't offer sadly
Horses and drinking 😆
The drinking will happen, it just hadn't at the point this video was recorded (or the forthcoming viper one although the two swims in the iso bath for that one weren't anything to do with the tape)😁
