Thank you for the support, yeah it’s slowly getting about and getting noticed now which is good so hopefully we can start raising some funds and take this project to crazy limits
Great work, there's a whole level of appreciation to people who work on their cars. Jacking them up and down is a pain, you don't realise how convenient ramps are until you use them. I think my next purchase is going to be something like some electric Quick jacks. Lift up the entire car in one go then axle stands
@@ItsmeCraigyP I used to have a slammed mk4 5 door was only a 1.4 but was so much fun! the Club Polo Website was fantastic. Best community I'd been on back in the day.
I usually don't subscribe on first video on new channel for me, but this one is NUTS. 🤯You've done amazing job. This is just something crazy. Well done. Liked and subscribed.
Man I loved my 6n2 GTI, got gearbox problem and gearbox guy couldnt find gears for it to get refurbished, tried to look for a gearbox but the only one I found was in netherlands and it was more expensive than the price I paid for the car 2 years prior to that failure... had to scrap it :x
I know… like a little lost sheep 😝 hopefully I’m found a lot more times as people do need to see this build.. so please share and thank you for watching
@@ItsmeCraigyP cheers mate, thought they would look good on my Polo 6R but unfortunately only come in 16's. You've got a great Polo, look forward to seeing where you go with it!
Cool project you've got there mate. Had to subscribe so I don't forget to look through your previous videos. A couple of little tips though. Maybe try only working out ROUGHLY what you're going to say before starting the camera, then just chat to it like you would when explaining what you've been up to with a mate (Without the swearing though, obviously. :D). It'll probably sound a bit more natural than what you're doing now. In this video you sound a bit like you're reading from a script that you've just been handed. Maybe when doing a piece to camera, you could just record it, then start explaining the same stuff over again, then one more time. The cameras already set up, and SD card space is cheap these days, so it won't take much extra time, but it means you can watch all three when editing and pick the version you think flowed best. Oh, and if (As I'm hoping) this car is going on the road, when you go for the MOT, ask politely if you can get 10 minutes to video underneath while it's up on the ramp. Just go around slowly videoing everything that's modified under there (With some extra lighting) from several different angles, but trying to avoid getting any of the MOT bay in shot. Edited chunks and stills from that would make great filler footage for when you want to describe stuff in a video, but the weather/lighting isn't up to going out to the car and filming the parts you're talking about. As I said, it's a really cool project, and I'll be watching with interest to see how it progresses.
Thank you so much for your support.. Yeah it’s really does need some work, I’m not confident and not comfortable.. but every time I see all the comments and the support it makes me work harder for the next video Yeah someone else told me this too, about talking to the camera and forget there’s thousands of people watching but try and film like your trying to explain something to a friend at the back of the lens Which is helping.. Yeah once I get it up In the air I will do a much better underneath video Hope the other one I did recently you’ve seen an improvement already? Thank you again for watching and your support and feedback.
@@ItsmeCraigyP I’ve not watched and other vids, this just kept popping up last night so watched it. I have the mk5 R32 and ‘99 1.8T A3 8L (same engine) I find the standard 1.8T such a boring engine….I’m guessing with a lot more boost it comes alive esp with 800hp 😂 Have fun 🤩
It had personal taking me 6 years to get to this point - but I’ve has plenty of ups and down if you haven’t seen the other videos but @forward creations had it all in I would say in about a couple of months ready for me to carry on with the rest - thank you for your support and watching my videos
If you need a project for your channel,I've got a mk1 golf 16v on twin 45's, dry stored for 20 years, I've just bought 3k worth of parts and have 5k to spend on it ?
Would love to but in all honesty I didn’t do any of the fabrication work if on insta check out @ forward creations he is your man to talk to.. thank you for the support mate
I would not drive that car in the wet or when there was any salt on the roads, it would be sacrilege to get any corrosion on any of these beautifully crafted engineered parts!!!!

Heads up for anyone looking to purchase the UK’s best 6n2 gti ! 28k miles, garage parked from new and completely original on EBay Auction ending 10am tomorrow (Saturday) 😎👍
It's a marvel of engineering but I can't stop thinking. Just. Why? Why? Then I get up have a cup of tea but then I just start thinking of your 6n and I start thinking why Why Why again
why not is the answer your looking for 😂😂 - small but insane and not what anyone would be expecting.. hope you’re enjoying the videos thank you for you support
Thank you for the tip, that would of made some great viewing though 😂😂 I do try and keep away from It but so hard with the uneven ground and the space..
Its breaking up something awful.. but you put a big enough turbo on that itll be a blast to drive.. but being a home project, like all others its never gonna be finished.. especially on thatn, youre gonna be snapping axles left and right .. lol. And being custom its gonna get expensive when it does happen..
Why tf didn't we get this here in South Africa instead we got ugly 9n Polo's but then i think why we didn't get this it's because we built the MK1 Golf untill 2009 then that generation of Polo's took over because the MK1 wasn't in production anymore
@@ItsmeCraigyP i think maybe there is but if there is it's very very rare we only got GTI versions of the polo from the 9N up untill the new ones we have zero Lupo's aswell because we used some of the Lupo's motor's in our MK1 Golf's because we have facelifted very nippy crazy sounding fuel injected MK1 Citi Golf's with engines ranging from 1.4 and 1.6i and then some are 1.8i which only mostly comes in the MK1 Golf R yes we have a R version of the MK1 comes with a crazy bodykit and 1.8i motor also all our MK1'S with fuel injection the sporty versions like Velociti and CitiRox have Lupo GTI rims and steering wheel and so forth so Volkswagen of South Africa didn't want us to have the Lupo or the Polo so we made our own just for South Africa Golf's but i so badly want to see our Golf's in other countries because it's a South African staple product
Aye, fake quattro in the TT /s3 ...proper quattro is full time , has a torsen centre diff and longitudinally mounted Least this has the option of being full time , still open diffs though 😵💫

Such a pity there isn't a build log. This is an epic 4wd conversion.
I know and it’s such a regret - but there will be more projects to come
Thank you ☺️
I'm in awe. The build itself is challenging and features all sorts of engineering wits to help it happen. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Thank you - looking forward to getting more out
Most if not all VW's were designed to be 4x4, even the mk1 Golf Convertible was available in 4x4...
Going to Subscribe, I like what you have there.
Thank you, there’s a lot more to come
3wd lol such an awesome and clean build. nice work
Thanks 👍🏻 I promise it’s 4wd 😂😂 just a sticky caliper I hope

Awesome build , did you get the near side rear wheel spinning with the other 3 ? Lose connector? Looking forward to the next video
Thank you, to be honest I haven’t looked at that yet.. I think it’s the caliper sticking as that side is a old crap one

That all looks likes the invoices for the the parts and labour have been burnt before the Mrs finds out it cost a little bit more than 700 quid .
What invoices 😂
Very nice.....not sure what purpose the backbox serves.....I'm a straight thru kinda guy lol
Yeah I just didn’t want it too too loud 😂
How much did it cost to build from stock
To be honest my wife reads the comments so I’ll rather not say 😂
😂 i love how every honest person hates getting a car on stands
😂 yeah it’s pain - the floor doesn’t help too much
Great video dude, looking forward to seeing more! How come one of the rear wheels wasn't spinning?
Thank you 😊 Good question! Another Job on the never ending project car list - it will make another content video somewhere 😂
Slightly bound handbrake, possibly cable issue.
