You have my respect for restoring a 1.1 Golf. Everyone goes mad for GTI's when in truth these were the cars I used to see everyday when I first passed my driving test. Superb restoration mate.
Bravo! Such a perfect restoration! I've got a 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel that I would LOVE to put through this treatment. I'm so glad to see one restored with no modifications. Just as it was in 1980. Perfect!!
Повезло гольфу, первую жизнь прожил хорошо, и после реинкарнации ище лучше зажил! И это первый гольф, я их на улицах уже давно не видел! Работа мастера достойна восхищения!
And old fully restored car, no matter what make or model... is cooler than any supercar to me. Amazing work work! It must be a real joy and satisfaction to drive around in a car you practically built yourself?
Awesome build. My stepmother had a 1.1 that she bought new. Sadly she didn't want to sell it to me. Man it would have been the perfect project car. No rust no accidents, only white paint faded and maybe new piston rings. Currently have a VW Pickup, these cars are something special and they becoming very sought after the older they get. Great video enjoy the Golf and God bless 🙏
I am currently working on the restoration of my MK1 GTI 1979. Your video just inspire me to enjoy the journey of bringing back to life this beautiful classic car. Congrats.
Was my third car, built in 1975 and for 10 years a 'part of my life'. A great car, always reliable, but the biggest enemy was the rust. It's like a time jump back to my youth.
Beautiful job! Thanks for saving that little gem. My daily driver is an '81 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel Pickup (aka: Caddy). My very first Rabbit (Golf) was a 1975 two door model.
Huge respect for this build. The amount of determination to see it through to such a high level is stunning. This is not really a special model of car-its not a '53 Beetle or even a MK1GTI, but a run of the mill Golf (Rabbit here in the USA), yet it was treated like one for this restoration-as it should be. I have long been an air cooled fan, and still have several including a couple of very nice Beetles. I am in the middle of a "minor" restoration of a 1982 Quantum Coupe-perhaps the rarest of any VW model ever sold in the USA, and I can tell you that it is far harder than any other car I have done, due to the absolute lack of trim parts available for these unloved cars.
Truly amazing job.😊 i have questions for you is it possible to arrange interview with you where you can tell a story about your VW Golf mk1 restoration? As I understand you live in Belgium, if you agree we can come over and film you and your beautiful car. 😊🚘
I had an 83 volks rabbit. I'm guessing those new door handles broke within a month haha. Great restore. So many memmories. I had smoke screen out the back, @ oil slick out the bottom
Congratulations! My first car was like this one and it was red with its original paint. Although it was about 14 years old, very basic, and in bad shape when I owned it, it was a car to remember forever. Many of the parts shown in your video had to be replaced in my car back then in the early 1990's! Great video and impressive job!!!!
When I saw this , my heart sank . What in the world makes a Golf worth saving ? Can believe a MG Metro or a Lotus Sunbeam but honestly ! a golf ! I remember mine which pulled the clutch cable straight out of the bulkhead and the noise of the engine ! I swapped it and got a MG Metro instead .
The Golf has been very well restored, despite the few options. But the only thing that bothered me was reinstalling the old, rotten seats. They had to be professionally prepared and renewed by the saddler.
This car "this model" was definitely a must in the 80s, I was driving this model at the age of 18 but with a Td engine. The car was not mine, and I would have been very pleased to have it, but at the age of 19 my father gave me the new Fiat Uno TurboD ("for me" the most beautiful car ever). And I was the happiest boy in the world. Quest'auto "questo modello" è stata sicuramente un must negli anni 80, io a 18 anni guidavo proprio questo modello ma con motore Td. L'auto non era mia, e mi avrebbe fatto molto piacere averla, ma mio Padre a 19anni mi regalò la Fiat Uno TurboD nuova ("per me" la macchina più bella in assoluto). Ed io ero il ragazzo più felice del mondo.
Wow amazing work! This video brought back great memories, I had a MK1 83’ Rabbit 🐇 GTI in silver and loved that car. Now I have a MK 7.5 GTI in white, manual transmission and reliving the past. I love my new GTI, which brings the best of the original model with new VW innovation. Wish my current GTI had silver paint, but that color was not available.
I hear ya... Growing up my Grandfather owned a 78 Golf, 79 VW camper van and has a 60 bug convertible that's still in the family. I also have had a couple of GTI's a MK6 and currently a MK7.5. Very underrated cars and that's one reason why I love them so much👍😎😊
Wow, it looks beautiful! You put a tremendous amount of work into it, but it definitely paid off. Congratulations. I bought a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle a few months ago and I'm trying to restore it. I've never done anything like this before and I feel like I'm in way over my head. I wish I had your skills and patience.
REALLY like that color! I used to want one of those in the 80's, but my dad wouldn't get me one and I was too young to buy it myself. Wanted an early Rabbit also, but never got one of those either. Now I have a recent model GTI! Love Volkswagens... just about any model. Great job... you surely have the patience of Job! :-P. And again... GREAT color also.
i had a red volks rabbit just like this in high school, at 70 mph it sounded like a mad sewing machine, lasted me all the way through college. red and black plaid seats, now my son in high school drives a 2008 black manual volks rabbit. Nice restoration project you have going on i assume germany.
Идеальная и последовательная работа , причем не каких-то тюнинг мастерской а я так понимаю в домашних условиях ☝ Крутой РЕСПЕКТ этому молодому человеку за максимализм, фанат этой маркой и модели данного авто 👍 Сколько время и денег ушло?

I agree 100%
Man that is crisp and sharp after the restoration. No wonder it won an award.
All I can say is: RESPECT TO YOU DUDE!!! ...and yeah that color...
Heel toffe video. Fantastisch dat er mensen zijn die èchte klassiekers weten te waarderen . En dan nog een
Belgische nummerplaat....
Hight level rstoring !!! Direct from Brazil Golf Lovers

Its nice to see people keeping classics on the road.
Looking good!

Excellent, mucho work, mucho bucks, mucho Satisfaction.
she's a beauty, my dream restoration is the 1985 turbo diesel rabbit.
WOW! as a mk1 owner this made me smile from ear to ear. from old to new like it was never old in the first place. Amazing job!
mad respect, this is the cleanest vw restoration ive ever seen, looks brand new.
I know how much work this is after 3 full restorations- respect! Great job 👍🏻
Stunning build, you should be very proud. Thanks for sharing.
indeed
Not sure why anybody would go thru so much trouble to restore a car like that. However, job well done!
Повезло гольфу, первую жизнь прожил хорошо, и после реинкарнации ище лучше зажил! И это первый гольф, я их на улицах уже давно не видел! Работа мастера достойна восхищения!
*Респектос*
Да, мало таких моделей на улицах
Это какое желание, терпение и умение надо иметь что бы так восстановить тачку! Молорик! 👍👍👍

Just found this video of my restoration, what a pleasant surprise.
Thank you!

Nice restoration! The license plate under the front bumper isn't straight. It' leaning down on the drivers side. An easy fix!
Oh my god, this is the best restauration that a have go to see
I had an 83 volks rabbit. I'm guessing those new door handles broke within a month haha. Great restore. So many memmories. I had smoke screen out the back, @ oil slick out the bottom
I have a mk1 85 model (think its 85)daily runner. Keep up the good work. Vw for life. Andy from south africa
Well done, especially in your home garage. Beautiful car.

Amazing detail and what a result!!!

One of the best engineered compact cars ever, it was fun as heck to drive.
The Golf has been very well restored, despite the few options. But the only thing that bothered me was reinstalling the old, rotten seats. They had to be professionally prepared and renewed by the saddler.
Perfect color! Love it!
Yeah nice color😎
Utterly beautiful. Love everything about it.
The 78 Rabbit I had years ago was probably the most reliable car I ever owned. I'd buy another in a second if I could find one at a reasonable price.
Beauteous in all forms and fashions. Such cute, fuel efficient vehicles!
What a beautiful job you did on this car..
This car "this model" was definitely a must in the 80s, I was driving this model at the age of 18 but with a Td engine.
