Keep up the excellent content and you’ll soon be at 300k love it lads!!

Brilliant channel and excellent work! I'm out of a job in 2 1/2 yrs and plan on doing a bit of what you do when I leave (previous experience), watching you two is giving me the itch to get started now. Keep up the good work and thanks 👍

    Congratulations on the 200k achievement, you have earned the weekend, now enjoy it with your nearest and dearest.
    The Golf deserved the work you are doing after surviving this far, but it has been quite a lot of work just getting the parts together. The engine sounded reassuringly good, after sitting so long, engines hate being left for too long. The way the job is going, this could almost end up being a heritage quality item, though the bodywork has its odd demand still to put on your time. It should earn a price that recognises its rising rarity value.

  • @maverick4177
    @maverick4177 3 роки тому +1

    Mk1 filler necks are different from cabriolets and the hard top cars, that’s why the length is different, you can still get cabriolet versions but they are harder to find
    have a look on BSB before you decide on getting that hood repaired, you can get a brand new OE vinyl one for less than £200 from them and a few quid more a mohair version, in any of the OE colours, they also sell all the hood cables and heritage sell new springs for the side tensioners
    That hood may be repairable but it’s shrunk on the sides
    I fitted one myself to my own cabriolet on my drive! So a man of Chris calibre should have no issues fitting it
    As the cars are worth a few quid now it’s worth the effort i reckon
