I gotta love MK2s, I have my own mk2 with the 1.8 Liter petrol engine and when I fill up I do wish it was a diesel like this. Nonetheless MK2s are indestructible, petrol engines are depends on how they were maintained 200k miles or even more and diesel well as long as there is someone driving them 😂. I’m glad the old boy will get some love he deserves and finally get to his shape from 30 years ago. Great job! Can’t wait for the Restauration
Thanks Omar! We saved her!
Have mk2 1.6D myself with 254k miles. Bought it 4 years ago. Great video. Good luck
Thanks man! Yeah these cars are great! 🤝
Watched the caddy and the golf videos pretty much back to back. Content is just getting better and better lad. Lovely to see that golf up and going. Great little car.
Thanks Ross! Really appreciate that! If we could find a car like those and the time every month to keep the ball rolling it would be a different story!
Class video! I've got a 1.6diesel passat for breaking if you're stuck for any engine parts
Thanks Kieran!
Great cars these, not surprised it sparked right up. Just the right amount of engineering in these. Great episode, thanks for sharing it with us man.
Thanks Ray! 'Just the right amount of engineering' is the perfect way to describe that car. I'll be using that in the future! 🤝
I’m glad you’re back! Cheers from Brazil
Thank you Lucas! 🇮🇪🤝🇧🇷
Here in the Balkans the Mk2 Golf are still very much everyday drive. The only thing bad is for bad examples they want top euros.
Honestly Im not at all surprised it started and drive liike it did. Seen it many times with these cars. Interesting channel. Going to look some more videos
I had a Mk2 1.8 tour edition in the same colour as your golf in the 90's. I loved it but smashed it into the back of a van one rainy autumn day. I would love to have one now.
Sounds like it was well used at least, only way. Thanks for watching! 🤝
Man, I completely forgot about this channel! Watched your OG KE70 vid and instantly hit the sub. This is the first video YT has suggested of your channel since, absolutely criminal.
Glad you're keeping at the YT stuff, great content mate. I'll make sure to hit the bell this time for future uploads.
Thanks for that man! Really appreciate the feedback! Trying to get more regular with the episodes and keep up the UA-cam suggestions side of it! We have a good few episodes now! You should check out the rest! 🤝🤘
Brilliant video…..great car, can’t wait to see more!!!
Thanks Jake! 🤝
Best of luck with your new purchase. Love it when you do the glovebox lottery looking through the car finding evidence of its previous life. Mabe you might consider adding interview with the previous owner of the cars you find, like where there were bought mabe people remembering it in their town with old stories about them. Just a thought keep up the good wor looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for that Brendan, we actually interviewed a few owners and edited the footage, it's just finding space and time to put the footage in to already lengthy episodes. We may put out bonus episodes with short interviews in the future. Great minds. 🤝
Cheers for the trip through Foynes Lad. Missus is from there and I haven’t seen it in twenty odd years. Good Lad 🤘⚔️💚🔥 Cannabalised 🤘
Haha class! Glad you saw it! 🤝🤘🤘
great to see it fire up and drive away,love the work
Thanks Stephen! Yeah there was a lot of life left in that car! 👌🤝
Nice job man and cheers for putting me on to The Scratch
Thanks for watching! Best band ever. 🤝
Briliant cars, still a lot of them around in the Balkans I hope it stays that way for a long time.
The good ones always last! They need to be good to survive some parts of the Balkans 💪🤝
Another fab episode! Well done 👍
Thanks Ben!! 🤝
I love the fact u drove it home was expecting a back road adventure but na drove it in towns 😂 love it I’d love to know what people thought seeing it driving past 😂😂
Haha yeah if I was even glanced at by a guard I was screwed. Good day out! 😂
@@CannibalCars aw just a little bit
Nice one Jack kiiiid... was only down in Foynes myself a while back.
Thanks bud!
Been waiting for abit of time to watch this another brilliant video 👌
Thanks Hayden! Glad you like it! 🤝
Linseed oil is the job! The car looks unreal man, fair play 💯🍻
Thanks Luke! Yeah it's miracle sauce!
Great find, luck of the Irish ! 🍀 Thanks, RickGTI….. 🇺🇸
Thanks Rick!! 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸
1920's - 1950's is the era of the secret car.
Love the content man, although the audio levels are a bit wild, the music almost blew my eardrums out 😂
Keen for the next one though!
Yeah I'm better with cars than I am with editing! But I guess that will all come in time!
I live in Northern Europe and diesel golf mk2s are very rare and expensive if you can find them. a lot of people want them because of their low fuel consumption and the fact that they are 30 years and older meaning you don’t have to pay taxes on them.
Pretty much the same situation here and even more so I'd you run vegetable oil or similar! 🤔👋
Waiting for this last few days 👍
Thanks Gerry! 🤝
Nicely done Jack
Thanks Podge! 🤝
Nice rescue! Not sure I'd have been brave enough to drive it on the road like that. Maybe trailer it home and do some checks first! :)
Who wants to watch a guy playing it safe! 😁👋
That's deadly, the alternator belt was abit scary looking 😆
And yet here we are with a charging battery! Found a spare new belt under the back seat! 😂
@@CannibalCars haha you couldn't beat it ideal car for the price of diesel atm
@@CorollaMAD97 Yeah exactly! I won't be buying a vr6 anytime soon!
Brilliant, apocalypse proof. That 100% needs to go back on the road
You know it will be Mark! 😁👋
Cool old golf, the simple unfussy body lines and design is class. Hopefully you or someone will take it on and improve the it a bit more.
It's just been taxed and insured for the year! 🤝
I love old Volkswagen, because is nice!!!
amazing video jack , nothing like a cool vw type 19 bit of rust repair and shes golden , dont let the garda catch you mind they will have you lol ,
ill keep a look out for some 5dr mk2 doors for you but youll have to cross the pond to yorkshire for them mate
ha ha ha look forward to the next you let that beetle slip ;-> im on with a 74 beetle right now
Haha 👀👀 Not too many people spotted it!! I found some doors and early ones at that with the fly window so I'm sorted! Thanks a million for the help! Beetle episode will be epic. The thing is destroyed!
@@CannibalCars not as bad as my beetle complete frame head and floors , body is rotten as well complete ground up restoration
@@curbsideconversions That's what it's all about isn't it!
😂 crazy guy you actually drove it like that
😁😁😁👋🤝
Love it!
Thank you! 🤝
The nervous laugh at 29:41
That looks stout with the black steelies
They are class cars. Had a 1.3 1990 jetta, actually was my dads. Brilliant car but preferred the 87 fiat regatta we had before it. I know I'm sick 😫
Gross!! 😁
Loved the video. Class as always 👌
I love Mk2 Hello From germany
Thank you! Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪🤝🇩🇪
Other cars for other episodes ahaha can see a vw beetle/bug in the left corner just as you’re talking about it 😂
Eagle eye 👀
You mad bastard! I've had 4 mk2s myself and I love them. What's your plan with this one?
Been driving it to work all this week! 😁👋
Peugeot 106 1.5 deisle engine was indestructible but pulled like a train
Good for at least another 200,000 miles once those bits fixed the linseed makes it
Linseed oil is worth it's weight in gold Brian!
This video had it all.
A good vw, public roads and republicanism 🇮🇪😅
I hope to god you will put this back on the road 😎
😂😂 Keep an eye out for it in a future episode!
You loonatic a coin with Lizzies head on it could be worth a fortune sometime soon
Not on my watch!
I have a mk2 GTD with 400.000 km and its my daily 😁😂
Hard to beat them!
Looks class with them wheels ya gonna put it on the road ?
Mad fucker driving by the way lol
Definitely! With that old Limerick reg it is right up my street!
274,000 miles ! I really thought it was a non-stater. amazing. ***SPOILER ALERT*** I saw grey VW Beetle in the background . . .
👀👀👀
Hardly even smoked
Auch den mk2 habe ich mal in Wolfsburg Germany neu gebaut. Schöne Grüße aus Germany
Thanks for watching! 🇮🇪🤝🇩🇪
@@CannibalCars no Problem. Was passiert mit dem golf ? Mach bitte den zahnriemen neu die spannrolle fals vorhanden und die wasserpumpe. You Australien od usa ?
Yeah, pump and belt in the need schedule, we are Irish!
@@CannibalCars ok nice
What an old sweetheart! Tried to buy a similar petrol Golf in the late 90s, but it was shagged. Have prices skyrocketed on those there as they have here across the pond? Cheers from Biden's silly America!
Haha thanks man! Yeah they are relatively valuable here now! Not this one but in general! 😁🇺🇸🤝🇮🇪
What Golf was sat for nearly 2 decades
This one was!! 🤘
@@CannibalCars sorry I meant ‘that’ typo mistake lol
@@lordwoody8352 I know! 18 years!
Check the 20p coin in the ashtray - if it’s dated 1985 You will be able to fill her with diesel lad !!
Haha I must actually check that 😂
Iv passed your house a few times was wondering who owned the cars 😂
Yeah I probably should stop filming all the ways to drive to my house! 😂
golf 2 is just the king of all cars, honestly i am a bmw fan but this car was made to live 4 ever. golden era of cars, now everything is plastic junk.
Here, here. 🤝
Literally seen this on donedeal the other week haha
Yeah man! That's where a good bit of my stuff comes from!
@@CannibalCars same as. Just bought a mk2 gti there a few weeks back she’s no silk purse but she’s no sows ear either :)
@@leedooley1795 Yes! Can't have them too clean or you'll be afraid of them!
whats the music called
It's on screen right at the start of the episode! 👀
tam restore edilmelik proje arabası değerlendirmesini tavsiye ederim
More torque than most unturbo petrol engines
It actually pulls really well considering! 💪
Might have a lead on a set of coilovers for her if you’re interested 😉
Yes please! 👀
@@CannibalCars I’ll give you a shout on FB
@@kevinkelly208 🤝
Certo che parte , è una wolksvagen 😎
New windshieldwipers?
Ordered!
100% you should have put some oil down cylinders first 😬
No argument here
Proper deisle power house
They don't make them like they used to!
if you happen to come across a Toyota crown super saloon, 1981 82 vintage (Rare) please let me know I am looking for one.
Can do Morgan! 👀
Thats actually sounding worse cause the engine mounts are shot
Absolutely man! Gonna put new ones in! 🤝
Another one🙂
I know! You won't see me for 9 months now! 😁😂
When vw Made good cars
🙌
You need to get on to fruit of the loom🤣🤣 and get some t-shirts or hoodies done lad. Do a pre order or something. I might order something ya no but then I might not 🤔
Yeah we'll have to do something in the future!
I have cl 1600rf
That's amazing! What is that?
Poor things in worse shape than mine when i got it
Still has some life left in her!
@@CannibalCars well it is an old vw after all
The Sirion looks as if it could‘ve sit next to the Golf half of the time🤭
Wash your mouth out!
Is she nct exempt 👀 over 30 years old?
Won't be getting an nct one way or the other 🤠
Might have to consider buying another Mk2 Golf now! CURSE YOU!!!!
You basically can't lose.
its a shitty golf nobody cared about 20 years ago, till now
Are you gonna be OK Rob?
