- In this video I start a new job.... It's a 330bhp Volkswagen GOLF Mk1 with a 1.8Turbo engine conversion for Dream Car Giveaways!
The car needs a fair bit of work doing, some jobs are worse than others, in this video I tackle the problems I've found including re-working the fuel system!

100% top marks for the black-out mods. Looks clean.
That fuel setup was a BBQ waiting to happen. Stellar job again.
Kudos, Kudos, Kudos, for a really nice tidy up. You're worth more money!
My dream car 😊
I can't believe someone spent all that money on it and then did ridiculous short cuts like that fuel system!
Great stuff mate 👍 19:48
Cheers Big Keg, hope your well mate 👍
Makes you think about the standard of the rest of it, doesn't it?
@@johnsnowdon2939crap build all around no doubt.
Lovely car now,I can’t believe it was that ruff and unsafe.Glad you have worked your magic on another classic 👍🏻
fuel system installed by David Blunkett - those gear selector cables lol - - great job Paul - lovely motor
It's all great sticking a great big engine in a car but if you can't get the basics right its a deathtrap.
Great job rectifying the shoddy workmanship
Would be awesome if you could link to some of the products and tools you use if there is stuff you would recommend. Like the wrap, I'd rather buy a product that a genuine person like yourself has tried out! Keep the videos coming, hugely underrated channel 👍
Who ever installed that fuel system should be locked up. Absolutely terrifying. Nice work, love the workshop.
Mad how they spend that much money doing a car , then bodge up stuff that’s fairly easy, as always a cracking job ! See you up the nec 👍
I do wonder how someone could do such a clean tidy engine bay conversion but then leave a fire hazard in the boot. Nice video / repairs.
Thanks buddy, 100% mint now
Yeah that really blew me away! Copper fuel lines LOL. Guy must have been a plumber!
You can do also,everybody can,just then is not gonna be street legal in Europe.
I just hope the prior owner and the community they are part of watches this and persuades the person that did this work to never touch a car again.
Your work is great as usual but I bet the body is full of filler and a rot box waiting to explode in the orange peril. Hope the winner takes the cash alternative 😂
Drives mint now 👍
Catching up mate!! Fuel pipes and swirl tank were shocking... Yet the interior and engine bay looked so good 🤔 it's like it changed hands half way through the build!!
Caught up on your Nova 👌 cool little car, looking forward to seeing more of it! Cheers Paul 👍
Cracking video. Hopefully get to see some of your own projects again soon. Scary how such a nice looking motor can be so badly wired and plumbed.
Will get back on with the mk2 escort as soon as the corsa’s finished 👍 can’t wait
if DCG didn't buy this car, somebody would of bought it in good faith [ i bet it wasn't cheap] + would probably be filling a total loss fire claim form in by now, or worse...
go down to halfrauds + nick a positive battery terminal cover off a new battery, + use a bit of washer pipe to vent it outside keep em coming young man
Such a clean and tidy car and then the fuel lines run like that!!
Great video and nice work as usual. I sold my 1.8T mk1 about 11 years ago. It was a fun car. I might have a go on the competition for this one.
Do it mate, drives soo nice this one does. Think it goes live tonight on dreamcars site 👍
Pinching the door handles with all my grip force is muscle memory at this point XD great cars you have to drive one atleast once soooo much personality
I once bought a nova saloon that looked mint freshly painted. It was a quick car 1.6 carbed went like stink for what it was, one winter later it had more orange than a can of tango. I was gutted..... once its starting it doesn't stop. It was white also. By year two it was done and broken for pars I made my money bk lucky enough for me.
Had 2 of these mk1 in the 90's,a black mk1 1.6,extremley clean,blew the engine and sold it,the oyher was a red 1.8 perrelli,sold it on,a couple of mk3 rs turbos,xr3i,and my fave a mk2 rs Mexico ohc,with rally suspension,that was fun wrote it off going to a rave blackburn,then some stole it.if i new then what i know now,id be rich in classics
Earth strapping the steering rack to make the horn work, removing the copper fuel lines, fixing the 5mm rock on rear wheel bearings... Every fix you did was car-thartic (Catharsis for Cars). I feel so much better now.
As the builder and owner of a 500whp+ mk1 20 over the last 15+ years, with a professional background in motorsport....that trunk is a not just dangerous, but the person(s) who did that and the owner who thought it was ok, should be shunned. That is super low IQ stuff, all around. Great job getting that all sorted and safe. You have gained a new sub'r.
Great mechanic.👌
But the comedy side makes the videos extra special.😂
Keep up the good work.👏
Wow,
Looking at it, it looks okay... 🧐
You'd NEVER know
what a fire hazard it was.. ..😱
How are there out there?..🤔
M8,
the work you do to make the car's road worthy and safe are Very Very informative. (Thanx for your detailed videos).
Top class work by you..
I'll be entering for this draw from Dream car 🤞
Always like your videos , am also a player on dcg. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I think I’ve dated that bird you tried to pull 🤣 what a mess still you got it sorted Paul nice job mate 👍
Man that fuel"System"!And from the looks of it who ever cobbled the fuel system tpgether also did the radio.Just shameful.But now it's all up to snuff,as befits the rest of the car.Good job!
Shocking bits of detailing where they cant be bothered, just get it fitted attitude lets the car down. post your inspection and repairs, its all good. Well done Paul.
It’s mint now, drives lovely 👍🏻
Full nut and bolt restoration?! Not that impressive but fine now after you have sorted it out. Good job!
Love these videos paul, really helpful and learnt a lot from you diagnosing problems then showing how to fix which i can use on my ongoing projects at home in garage please more content like this love your channel and how you deliver your content even the humour is great so wish i had your amazing skill and knowledge i can only dream of..best wishes keep up the amazing channel 👍👏❤
Epic work as always Paul! Have you got that fit birds number mate? 👍😎
Geez in the boot was a explosion going somewhere to happen, glad you sorted it 👍
Another car actually saved!
Great work again mate
Nice but people have been doing bigger horse power conversions on the 1.8t for 20 + years now. Great engine !
Just stumbled across this channel fucking love it. Like watching old wheeler dealers but no benders in tow love it
Just to add one of my customers won an e30 off these did you come across it mate nice motor. Top lad won it as well
Welcome to the channel matey, glad you like it 👍👍.
I must say I actually love the MK1 golf there's just something about them also those wheels look unreal and a mint set up nice amount of power as well 😍🔥👌
The OG golf 😍
@@ODDAutos 100% mate would love to drive this for sure 👌
It’s going live tonight on the Dreamcar site,
@@ODDAutos ok mate cheers for that I'll definitely check that out 💯
Amazing . I love the MK1 wish I could win it .. I currently own a mk1 GTI I’m restoring.. so much work.. love the car ..
Loving your work, shame you’re so far away, my old mini needs a few final bits doing before it goes for paint!!!
That bit with Paul in the wig was hella funny
Great work on sorting all that nasty mess out. Whoever worked on this car previously, needs to stay away from cars 😆
Another Great entertaining Video ( love the Charactors Boy Racer and the LADY ) she was Pretty LOL Keep up the Great work Buddy
Great job Paul, currently de chroming my mk2 Escort Ghia as I prefer the satin black look too. Purists are boring!
Great work as always but cant say I liked that screen
If that's the fuel system what's the rest of it like it's a very bad restoration. Glad you have it to sort it all out
Who ever did this needs to never restore a car again
What about the BMW e36 chrome bumper model
I’d still wrap it, and limo tint the windows on that, ha ha only joking 👍
It's a late MK1 big back light.nice car.❤
Early chrome bumpers tho
Another great video Paul
Cheers Billy 👍🏻👍🏻
You gotta love a mk1 golf. Shame about the idiot that put it back together with all that rubbish fuel pipping and state of those electrics. Nice one Paul 😊
Great content as always
Be good to see a classic Italian one day (Fiat preferably)
I'd still run a swirl pot for a turbo car with a crappy tank even if it's no track car, by either a contained swirl with integrated pump under the floor or in the spare wheel well with a bolt in cover over entire wheel well as a firewall. Here, that thing would never pass low volume certification for the road with boot mounted battery that's in a passenger cabin without being contained and vented directly to external atmosphere. Same goes for the old fuel system in passenger cabin.. Crazy..
My partner bought one of the first production cars. He says...After blowing 3 turbos, all replaced under warranty, I traded it in. Very fast, as fast as many of the motorbikes of its day. The unreliability meant that the car became a liability.
Cracking car sad it didn't get finished right glad yous fixed it
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Cheers buddy, mint now 👍
Hard to believe someone spent all that money on a paint job, interior and engine install… then bodged the hell out of the fuel system!!!
Another cracking video
Should of kept the vw badge chrome
Beautiful!
Sure is 👍
Fit birds😂😂😂.love your presentation,you do make me laugh dude👍👍
That one was 100% FIT 🤣
@@ODDAutos she sure was,I would definitely 👍 🤭🤭🤭
The de-chroming in general looks good, but I'd have left the VW badge personally. Same with the letters (e.g. Ford) on other cars you black out. Great job as always though.
Massive amount of work gone into that car but still the pinstripes arent level
Even on the point of the check strap, there is rust there aswel, I'd rather have the corsa b
It's always the door handles on a MK1 😂 1:34
Finally a real car !!😍🇮🇪
Super cool little golf. Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side
Awesome classic
Sure is 👍👍
Who was that beautiful fair maiden my guy left at the side of the road?
I’d be a stunner if I was a lady 🤣🤣
Amazing video mate! Love the skit 😂😂
Wowzers, how did someone paint and prepare such car to such an amazing standard to then wire and fuel it to be a driving inferno to be! 😳
After seeing that boot install I would be very concerned on how well the rest of the car has been built, it may all look good but what corners have been cut or bodged
I went over the rest mate, was spot on. Had it here for 2 weeks in the end 👍
Black out chrome looks so much better. Workmanship of its former owner.??
Absolutely shoddy workmanship on this lovely golf. Looks all good now though!
With every comp site. None of them put images of the underneath on the page.
That ‘rebuild’ is shocking, what were they thinking 😮
All good now 👍
Totally unfortunate that I’m on the other side of the world 😢 beautiful dream car far better than any Ferrari any day
Dream car giveaway! More like nightmare scenario. 😂
Great
Was just going to ask how you was getting on with the corsa? No update video mid way through?
Full restoration 😂😂😂 apart from the important bits
Will those back wheels not be a bit of a disaster with all that play?
Blimey Paul, how bad was that!! Looked like a minter, just goes to show...those rear wheels literally looked like they were about to fall off 😢 what a car now though ❤ I'd love it
You should have fitted fork 'andles.
I forever hate looking at these, as I nearly got one for free from a mate of a mate. Obviously said I'd take it, heard nothing for a couple of weeks, so called my mate to see what was going on with it, and he called the owner... to say, well as he never heard back from my mate, he just scraped it 😥 this must have been 20 years ago now and I've never forgiven him lol.
Kn'ell mate! What a nightmare
No swirl pot now? Just lift pump into main pump?
Top job 😎🇬🇧🇩🇰🏁👌🏻
Didn't dream car say they were doing a video on this golf
ipad in a golf ffs shockin I get its a retro mod and love 18t under bonnet but you Don't see that, and don't even mind the more modern seats retrimmed in later cloth as still a nod to a oem look but a fkin ipad 😢
‘Ello,VW parts is it? I need two white knobble things for my MK1 Golf. Thanks much.
This is a top notch precise car channel here mate, that’s definitely what they are called 100% 🤣
@@ODDAutos I’ve no doubt.
Nope I like the chrome but still good video. I ended up building my own vw buggy because I couldn't get yours. Lol
Ahh mint, I’ve still got mine too. Just waiting for the sunny days to come around again to drive it.
Sadly all too often the case with these classic "show cars". Made to look good but everything underneath is bodged to hell. I know because I bought one and had this exact problem. Looked amazing but the car was an absolute shower of shit, the wiring, fuel system and everything in-between was bodged to fuck! Never again.
Another great video but a shocking state to find that car in. Loved the "pick up" segment but don't forget it might not be a bloke that wins... or a heterosexual.
Pity the guy who did the work on the car,didn’t sort the rust out on the inside of the passenger’s door
That’s spray wax 👍. It’s blumin everywhere
@@ODDAutos the car looked well but when you got closer why did they leave it a death trap?
Hahah the wig!!
Don't think the fiesta wheel is the right pcd for the golf
Fiesta wheel?
@@ODDAutos the spare looks ford maybe I wrong again lol
@@johncoldwell340 Looks similar to a Mk3 Golf Steel wheel, and there were also some similar fitted to the Polo Caddy vans. I had some on my Mk2 Jetta and then on a later Polo after I got tired of pumping air into leaking alloys.
The car looked great, until you opened the trunk!
#STORMTROOPER
Cool car, built by a complete muppet. I couldn't believe that fuel system. What the hell! Nice syrup, by the way. Really suited you.
Hey man, love the content. I've sent you emails a few times and would really appreciate if you could respond to them, thanks.
That original fuel system is horrific
It’s all gone now which is good, goes like stink now 👍
@@ODDAutos thank god you got your hands on it 🙌🏻
Get a set of proper euro bumpers! Come on man.
👍👌💪😎😁🤩
Ig of the beautiful lady ❤
🤣 I’ll have to do one
How can you black out a chrome bumper mk1 golf... Shame on you
🤣
