- Good Day to you guys, Its been a while since I last posted a video, thats because ive been busy filming start to finish on this little project golf Flip car. I know how much you guys enjoyed the last flip cars, so thought it was time to start doing it again but with a twist. Im starting with a shed of a flip car and going to keep flipping, swapping, trading until I get to a super car.
So enjoy this first Part on the Volkswagen Golf.
In this video I have used new rendering software, which has taken quite some time to get use to but Im actually enjoying using it, If you have any feed back to the video quality, transistions, effects, please do leave a comment.

Great content and love the new direction you're taking the channel in. Really looking forward to seeing how this new adventure pans out :D
Cheers shaun. I'll still be doing videos on the van and mr2 as and when I do things as well. But fancied something different.
That unit is fecking awesome!. Buy more stuff to put in it though the echo is horrendous 🤣😂.
Awesome content mate!!.
Yeah the echo... im not sure what I can do about it at the moment. I'll have a look into it. Thanks!
Sound ok when filled up
I've got the estate version. I can't let it go, great work horse.
They are good little cars.
Had my 1.8t since 09 and pd130 since 12. Fantastic cars, great all daily drivers, park them anywhere and dont need to worry 😎
Gonna enjoy this new content n way you are going with the channel good look with it matey
Cheers John
Glad you like it :)
Great to see another golf on the channel! Looking forward to the next episode
Thanks. Wont be too long and I'll get it uploaded.
Watch the fellas from Chops Garage and Flipping cars for profit. I think you could pick up a few tips from them. Good luck with your new venture and I hope you do well.
Cheers man I'll give them a look!
Looking forward to watching part 2 tomorrow :)
Hope you enjoyed it
@@bluudysgarage Hello yes I did. Thank you
Hi Bluudy, another Golf to sort out,I honestly thought it was gonna start,and a flat battery.but can't wait to see the next video.
It would have been nice if that was the case. Made for a good video in my opinion :)
Most definitely but only the pd130/150 1.8t. MK4 platform is a good money earner.
I agree. I've had a pd130 on the channel. That needed quite a few bits. Ended up breaking even on that one.
Fairplay Bluudy. Investing in some unit space will cost you short term but the extra space will make your life alot easier. I just wish their were units like that down south that didn't cost ££££ per month
Cheers man. To be fair we are only renting a section of it. So it's more our sized if that makes sense. But means we can have more cars and do bigger jobs on them without blocking a driveway.
@@bluudysgarage I feel the pain mate, im making an exhaust manifold in my garage and with a TIG and MIG, gas bottles, chopsaw and sander my garage is cramped, tripping over myself most of the time. Look forward to the new content mate!
@@Marks-Garage fair credit to you for making it though. Well done man!
Great series mate, but if you really want to do it like Mike it on Wheeler Dealers trading up you need to pick out your cars with more care. Buying a non-running mk4 golf for £150 seems tempting but it's really hard to make money on cheap shitbox cars. Like you already mentioned it owns you £300 (transport costs, fuel, registration, wheels ect). Then it needs an engine (£150), some fluids at least oil and coolant (£50), timing belt kit while your doing the swap maybe clutch kit to? (al least £100), probably some additional stuff that often goes on cheap cars (bulbs, interior trim, window regular, maybe), you need to clean it (materials cost) and advertise it (and that not always free everywhere). At the end there is really no profit to be made. Also, value your time, if you're making a £200 profit but it took 3 full days of 8 hours to complete from start to finish. Then you're earned (200 / 24) £8,33 an hour that's around minimum hourly wage. Don't get me wrong love what you're doing, but I found it to be more fun and more worthwhile to look for cars that are not that average and worth some more money. Enthusiast or young cars sell for the right price way easier. Check out the channel Torque Steer with his series running down a dream. He does the same thing. I have had cars given to me for free, fixed them on a tight budget (all niggly stuff that needed fixing on them) and sold them on but the profit always wasn't worthwhile and it was always difficult to sell because they were very average cars. Did it to save them from the crusher.
I totally appreciate your words of wisdom and yes if you include man hours it would be impossible to make a profit on this car. The way you make profit is by not including as a monetary value.
I will list all costs including man hours but without a price on the hours. End of the day it's just something for a bit of fun and different to watch. And in my head the profit made helps buy the next project. I'm already on the hunt for the next project. :)
@@bluudysgarage I aspected already that you indeed did it just for fun and the profit makes it possible to extended the budget a bit by every project. But the cars you pick could boosted your channel. If you get cars that need less work you could flip them quicker and do more projects. That's how the big automotive UA-camrs do it.
To be fair thats my intention. But my starting budget is pretty small. Hence why I got a car so cheap. At time of buying I didn't know the engine was seized I just knew it wouldnt tuen over. I would like to keep mixing up the cars I get thats for sure.
Nowt like throwing yourself in at the deep end
It wasn't my intention but you got to just roll with it.
You need to invest in a 2 post vehicle lift or go halves on one. It will make it so much easier.
Why not rent the extra space out too to other petrol heads?
Maybe later down the line. Only just setting up. The rest of the space believe it or not is already taken.
Great start! Looking forward to the next video, how’s the Milwaukee m12 power tools been ?
Always in my hands. Great pieces of kit.
You look so much like Jeremy Clarkson, holy hell
Congrats on the new unit Bluddy 👏 can j ask whats it costing you to run the unit?
Enough. Lol.
Good to see you moving the channel on
Will be interesting to see how things go for you
Not a good start with that golf but sometimes you need to take chances in life and they dont always pay off the way you planned
You definitely need a two post ramp though , makes working on cars so much easier
How big is the space you've rented ?
Cheers. Your right you need to take a gamble. And I still believe this one paid off but as other have said I went into the deep end for sure. Might look at a ramp at a later date. I dont need one and it's something to buy at the moment. We only renting a section of that unit about 2200 ft.
@@bluudysgarage 2200 sq ft ain't a bad size to have
Will hold about a dozen cars
You'll quickly grow into it and wish it was bigger lol
@@johnp2124 haha. Nah. We not going silly on car. 1 in 1 out sort of thing. Keeps space in there for us to keep our own cars that we want to work on.
@@bluudysgarage
Yeah yeah that's what they all say
Then in 6 months time you'll be like hoovies garage with 24 broken cars lying all over the place lol
@@johnp2124 hahaha
whats the tapping? timing chain or tappets
great work keep it up
Power steering pump. Stopped when it had enough fluid in.
Did you get the ecu with the new engine
Nope. Didn't need it. Only if your changing it to a different engine like a 1.6 would you need the ecu etc. Or so I learnt.
Fingers crossed you won’t need to code it
@@mathy210 I didn't.
How much the unit lol so big
Not using it all. So not paying for it all if that makes sense.
@@bluudysgarage did it cost alot
