I have to say. First beautiful build. Second… thank you for calling it by its correct name and not calling it a rabbit.
He's never called it a rabbit before, so what is that meant for? Not to mention the US rabbit pickup came before the caddy in Europe, so calling a US pickup a caddy would be incorrect...
No it wouldnt
@@paulwhite7475 it's ok... You're welcome to be wrong.
Great, following eagerly 🇿🇦Cape Townian 🇳🇿in New Zealand.
Very impressed with this build 👍 can’t beat the R32 noise, makes me want to swap one into my mk2 gti 😅
Loving the build, some amazing work you are doing. What made me smile the most, was how your dad celebrated just as much as you when it started up. You cant beat a build, but doing it with your dad is priceless... you could see how proud of you he is. Cant wait to see the progress, one of the nicest builds i have seen
Great work mate. Cherish the time with your dad..they’re not here forever, I miss mine .👌🏻
All left nice air setup and a sick set of wheels absolutely awesome build enjoying it
Go on! You're a Guru!
Masters become, masters, they're not born!
Great content!
Keep up the good work Zac, she's going to be a sweet ride and one to be proud of. You gave a 40 year old car another 40 years of life.
Well done 👍
When you want anything done you get 2 blokes in a shed. Nice work.
Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg loving your workmanship and skills
I love that pedal bracket, such a need job. For the steering boot, obsoleteUK do a heat wrap cover that will stop the rubber boot melting. Well worth it.
Zak that engine sounds unreal, looks so sweet this is going to be one of the best around.
Fair play mate love what your doing easy to watch and listen too 👏
Nice job, glad to see it on the road for the first time in years. I can't wait to see it all done.
Keep up the good work...this is how I want to build my mk1
Pick ups rule , pick ups with bigger better and more are the most wholesome and correct pick ups , nice to see stainless nyloks throughout , done & dusted for good.hope you get it done and enjoy the summer ( both days ) 🍀
Congratulations mate that's f... awesome!! Leave the exhaust off 😆
Great efforts for a great finish of a vw caddy pick up.👌👍
Doing a damm good job young man.

been watching this series for a month and a 1/2, keep pushing, this is great content and i just subscibed
Thanks for watching !
Great vid! Following from Barbados 🇧🇧
So awesome to hear the 3.2 start for the first time. What was the wire that needed to be connected to the ECU to get it to start?
Sound like a top geezer 👍
Powerful father and son bond....I'm really touched. No doubt you'll achieve all your goals/ambitions with this project (you strike me as a deeply spiritual individual, it comes through in your sincerity/purity of your intentions). Congratulations, keep going!!🤙
Nice watching your build Zak. Very thorough. Very methodical and you obviously take pride in what you're doing! One cool pickup! (Not as cool as mine though lol)
You can use a Porsche Cayenne 3.2 manifold! It moves the intake to the other side!
Yes my man. Must feel so good.
that's some heavy sound deadening installed. I approve! 1st gen caddies can be a little tinny to be in. congrats on the sponsorship deal, man's on the come-up
Greetings all the way from Q8 🫡 keep them vids coming our way . Great work done especially with beloved Father ❤

My new favorite channel.
Neat build. Surprised you didn't go for any of the OEM big brakes.
Nice video mate
Great content
Editing skills on job mate
Man that's cool
I would consider going for a brake pedal box to sort your space issue. It would clean up the bay nicely too.
Nascar air intake grab air just below windshield . You could adopt similar solution
Imho your a nut and I respect that … go fast bro 😊😊😊
Drop the next video already bro
Heritage now sell RHD steering boots.
Great Job Zak it sounds amazing too ! where about are you in Uk?
Zak I completed a 2.8 Vr6 conversion into my Mk2 Golf a while ago (over 10 years ago now! Got a slide show of it on my YT) and at the time posted on the Mk2Vr6 forum a fair bit which ended up shutting down, sad times.
I had a little batch of milled Vr6 headgasket keyrings made by GruvenParts in the USA sent over for other VR6 owners. I have some left and can send you one.
I'll PM you and can send to whatever address.
Those new brakes looks sik bro
🇿🇦 second to comm
You’ll want a heat shield on that rubber boot
Hey Zak. Wanted to confirm that the new sensor for heat gauge is working correctly?
Well done. Impressed. I have worked in wiring. creating a whole loomb is hard. I used to have many golfs . Had r32 for a decade. Is this going to be rear or front wheel drive? Looking very smart engine bay looks very almost standard looking except for ugly plastic VW bottles. Reckon ox blood leather interior dark grey carpets. Where are you building this?
hi very nice work I have an R32 in my MK3 I have a problem I don't have the speed information in the computer so I'm limited to 5000 rpm or do I have to connect the Pin54 to get the signal? I have everything working, I'm stuck with it
Nice. Where u now fitting the brake light switch?
On the steering column !
you make the best job ever and just l want to tell you how amazing jod you do and l want to ask you what is the name from your break lines because they look more easy to install l hope you can reply my messages l really pressured take care
What was the missing wire in The end?
Could you help me with a build??
What is a free poin too leea enjin ? I guess its the same as a fermostat
Haha that one made me laugh 😂
