15.09 mins in for about 30sec your face says it all on how buzzing you are with your progress so far mate. Really enjoying your progress mate and look forward to the next vid 👍🏽
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud 😂 I was a little happy/Relieved!!!!
Golf M1 gti is the REAL gti , thx for the video 👍🚗😊
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kjeld. Isn't it just!
You definitely won't hate driving it. They are really good to drive.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. Hopefully not! I can't wait to go for a drive in it!
Lovely job there again Dan. Told you the scuttle is a sod.....
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Chris. What a twat 😂 It definitely put up a fight! I just hope the screen fits now!
Great job Dan welding looks much better
Thanks so much Martin. Glad you enjoyed it.
Really like your attention to detail. It will pay off in the end.
Thank you so so much. I really hope the car turns out at least OK!
Keep going Dan, it’s coming on and you will get more confidence day bye day looks good 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. I feel so much more confident now!
Really has come along way from a rusty red Volkswagen in a fam barn shed 👌 well done mate 🤘
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment Nicki. It is slowly getting there!
You are smashing it Dan. Weir done
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Mark.
Hello Dan, you have episode 20 in the title rather than 21. I nearly watched in the wrong order.
Loving the project so far and the videos.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Sam. Glad you are enjoying it. Yup. My bad. Late night trying to get it uploaded! Changed now.
Nice progress, good luck this week with the other side, will be interesting to see how much quicker it will be. At the moment I have got the rear right tub out of my shell, I got one of the heritage tubs which is off a SA golf. I wasn’t happy with it as it is different internally, you will know it’s non standard in the boot, but the main reason I didn’t use it was that the top of the suspension turret on it sat 15mm lower than the original tub. So i am currently butchering bits off the new tub to repair the old one which was badly gone in several areas.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Phil. Glad you are enjoying it! Oh I didn't realise they were different! I was trying to source a bodycut but really can't afford one so I will have to just try and make the repair myself.
Never driven a golf, no going back mate, car for life.
VDubs in general are brilliant cars. ~75% of my cars have been Volkswagens and will probably be in the future aswell.
🤣 Yeah I can see me enjoying it! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud.
Smart work on the scuttle, I can imagine how many times the doors/bonnet/wings were on and off plus a good amount of pondering. It’s absolutely clear you have moved up several gears in skills as well as confidence Dan. Huge respect ✊ ✅✅
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Andrew. Soooooo many times! Thank you for saying so! I feel much more confident but still trying to not miss anything!
I need to get those rear inside wheel panels or parts of them to fit 3 point seat belts in the rear. Sadly my Rabbit didn't have premade mounting holes in that position but had them everywhere else.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jonathan. I have been informed that no one makes them anymore. Tried a few places but can't get them. You may have to try and get a body cut.
I was always told to drink milk before welding galvanised steel! Dunno why? I hate milk though! Cracking on Dan👍🏻
🤣 Really?! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
If you’ve never driven a Mk1, you’re in for a treat!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud, Never! I can't wait!
I’m really looking forward to seeing how it turns out but will be gutted to see the series end 😆.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. I can't wait to see it finished either bud! Don't worry I have a head full of ideas to do after this one!
Great video as always Dan!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Adam
I think you can do the drivers side in a week. But like you said the wheel tub may kick you in the pants. Keep it going. You are doing a great job.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. We will find out on Sunday if I can do!
Another great Sunday morning video Dan , always getting closer , your rubbing your hands alot , get a decent heater , keeping warm is key ,so you can do your magic. Well done , cheers Andy
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. It is FREEZING in the unit! Unfortunately I can't afford to buy one 😂
Commented on every video. But can’t say it enough keep it up mate. Love watching your videos.
Thank you so so much for watching and for the comment Darren. Each comment helps so so much within UA-cams algorithm and I massively massively appreciate your support!
Looking superb Dan, the LHD wiper holes are a pain but I’m sure you’ll have a plan to recreate those correctly. It’s already very clear that the shell is getting back its stiffness and also the renewed enthusiasm in your voice! - good to see and hear. Well done buddy stay safe and warm now...👍🇬🇧
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Phil. Yeah they are but that is the beauty of metal! Just weld it up. Coming from a joinery background metal is so much easier!!!! It certainly is. Hopefully get the other side back together next week. Found a heater but it doesn't work 🤣 Rubbing my hands seems to be working!
Nice one dan
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
Nicely framed closing shot. Shoulders and elbows perfectly aligned with the “A” pillar. The devil is in the details
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Michael. I could say it was all set up intentionally... But it wasn't🤣
Looking good. 👍
Cheers bud!
Oh my god! ‼️You’ve opened the forbidden jump ! Wow⁉️
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
you will love driving the Golf Dan, it's the most fun I ever had in a motor - even slightly better than the Pug 1.9 GTi in my opinion. Needless to say that although you have my full support and admiration for your project I'm also massively jealous. Have you thought about a colour yet? Can I suggest Alpine white?
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. I can't wait to drive it! Thank you for the support. Yes, The car will be going back to it's original Mars Red.
Another good video Dan, now the holes are plugged up maybe a single wiper conversion?
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud, The car came with a single conversion. I want to go back to twin.
I also need to fix up my scuttle too.
Thank you for watching bud.
Great video ..your well up on the confidence area and your enthusiasm is shining through ..doing an epic rebuild Dan 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Eddie. Glad you are enjoying it! Confidence is up massively!
Another great vid Dan, a really honest reflection on how challenging these projects are.. really pleased to wake and watch this with a coffee, a Sunday treat !
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Mark. That is exactly what I want to show! Not just all the nicey nicey times. A full resto is a lot of hard work!
Looking great soon be all welded up your cooking with gas mate 👌 hope next week goes well stay safe 👍 🍺
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Stuart. Hopefully I can break the back of it this side of Christmas.
Great watch and progress well done! Love your positivity and honesty with it all. 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Michael. I want to show the real us and downs of restoring a car and not just an hour long show from sitting in a barn to going across the auction block!
as always good job mate 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Kjeld
Great to see you so pumped up Dan especially compared to a few weeks ago. On the scuttle, Do you have to move the humps for the wiper mounts rather than just drill fresh holes?
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Matt. I felt so much more confident and am now on a run to just want the welding done. I have enjoyed learning it all but really want it done now! No the humps stay where they are, RHD only have holes drilled into the scuttle panel.
Your smashing this project!!
I really want to see a Vauxhall Nova Sr project next at the same level as this!
Your killing it!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Aidan. An SR Nova would be a sick series!
Amazing work on the scuttle Dan! Looking forward to seeing how the driver's floor comes out, nice work!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David. Turned out OK in the end! Just hope the screen fits!
Nice job Dan
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
Lovely Jubbly, big improvements since the last video I watched.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. Getting there isn't it!
Top job as always dan and another brilliant video. I can’t wait to see you tackle the roof
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Daniel. Glad you enjoyed it. That will be the last job that I do!
Well in Dan another job done...
You will love driving it.... Love driving my mk2 gti sorn at moment for winter..... Look forward to your nx video... Keep it up 👌
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Carl. Glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait for my first drive in it! Wouldn't mind a Mk2 project at some point myself!
Happy Sunday... Nice one Dan, you are doing brilliant pal.. Hats off!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. Glad you are enjoying it bud! Slowly getting there! Feels never ending at the moment!
Great to see you're making progress and your confidence is really growing.
I like your positivity it's infectious...cheered me up thanks.😎👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud! So glad you are enjoying it! Gotta try and keep positive or it will drag you down!
Always good to see stuff going on, remember make a list check it twice, you want the golf not to be naughty but nice!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Matthew! The ever growing list!!!
Great progress! Nice work Dan 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
Great progress this week. Well done 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Paul. Glad you enjoyed it!
By the end of this build someone could hand you a bucket full of rusty iron fillings with a name badge on the top and it will not phase you one bit.
🤣 I have got a much bigger challenge in mind for the next project!
I can see it now on Sealey... Coming soon... The Half-A-Quick-Grip… genius!!!
🤣 As long as I get a cut!!! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Mark.
Bud keep on going the faster you will get keep up the good work
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Charlie. Definitely. So much more confidence now!
Brew, crumpets and back in bed just in time for the next vid! Sunday’s ... competed it mate 🤙🏻
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment David! Sounds a perfect Sunday morning!
Had my scuttle replace 2 years back by a ‘proffesional’ and it was an awful job ... corners werent attached & middle dips - youve done a sterling job there .
Passengers side on mine needed quite a bit of fettling/filler to get right.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud, Had quite a few comments saying that people have had work done by 'Professionals' and it has been terrible. Hopefully this turns out OK!
Sorry to hear this bud! Hopefully I can get mine right.
Nice work Dan. Scuttle looks good!
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Dave.
Another great vid Dan, stared to watch your white camper series 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Barry. Sweet bud! Currently sat in it replying to this! Love living in it!
Nice work Dan! 👍👊
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Simon.
@@DanChambersDAC when’s the next instalment?
“Anyway, it’s fits in there anyway.” 😂 classic
🤣 Yeah gave up trying to show it!Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud
I’ve never driven one either... but I daily drive a MK2 Golf 20vT.... is there much difference between day to day driving of the two cars? Hoping to have my MK1 Golf G40 on the road summer 2021. Brilliant content as always Dan 😊
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud, Bet that is a beast to drive! Mk1 G40 will be dope too! Glad you enjoyed it bud.
It’s good to see all the bits going back on. You’ll have a complete shell again in no time!
Let me know if you need any measurements or pictures of the scuttle panel for the wiper holes.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Alex. Isn't it just! Makes me feel like I am getting somewhere! Thank you for the offer bud. I will take you up on that! You on Instagram?
@@DanChambersDAC No I don’t have Insta, but I’ll get my wife to shoot you a message on there with my email if that would work for you?
Booyah! 👌🏻
🤣 Thought I would leave that in! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Jay.
Hi Dan, can you let me know the place where you learnt welding ,I cant find your previous post, loving this series 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. The place I learnt at is called The Machine Shop in Hinckley. Google that and it should bring them up. they are also on Instagram as The_Machine_Shop_LTD Glad you are enjoying it bud.
@@DanChambersDAC nice one👍
Top work as alway Dan. Try not to target yourself too hard on timeframes.
What’s the end games here? Stock, custom, euro?
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Yeah time frames do put a lot of pressure on but I think I needed a little push to just get on. I spend so much time looking and not enough time doing. So the aim for the moment is a pretty stock car with maybe a twist on the interior. Different seats with a slightly different but in keeping trim. None of that is happening until I earn some money to pay for it though!
@@DanChambersDAC I like the sound of that mate. Crack on!
Hello a great work 👍👍👍👍from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai
Thank you Brother
At any point did you try offering the windscreen up to the opening???
No. Windscreen got smashed when it was removed. Hopefully a screen fits in🤣 Got a great fitter though.
@@DanChambersDAC 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Hey what kind of engine do plan to run in it? I've seen spa turbo cylinder heads discounted on ebay. It would be sick with a high compression cammed naturally aspirated 2L 8v and period correct weber dcoes
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. I am running the original standard 8v Dx engine in it's standard form. Want the car to be as original as I can get it.
Yaaaasssss 👌
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bro
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bro
VW Golf GTI MK1 (Trigger's broom edition)
🤣 Still the original car though. Anything can be saved if you want to. Have you seen the state some Split's have been found in and restored? Thank you for watching and for the comment Bud
The discount code doesn’t work in the US
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment Bud. Aww really? I thought it was worldwide. I will ask the question dude.
Still welding holes in that thing? I'll try back later then.
Yes. Not a 5 minute job restoring a car. I wish the welding was completed but I am still going.
Great work as ever Dan. I have bought some Lechlar epoxy primer and using a cheap gun and compressor am epoxying all internal panels to stop the rot in the future, just an idea
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment John. I did consider this but decided against it. I am planning on buying a wax gun with the 360 degree nozzle and using it to primer everything first then go back with Wax in the cavities too.
@@DanChambersDAC sounds good, I'll do the same I think, I'll be interested to see what you buy.
