Watch Expert Strip a MK1 Golf Hood in Stunning 4K!

In this episode I help Carl From Chortles Top Shop remove the hood on our ebay mk1. Follow along as we discover, more rust, seizures (the car not me) and rot, rot, rot. but it'll all be ok in the end right?
I need to say a huge thanks to Carl (Chortle) for sharing his knowledge and expertise with me.
You can get hold of Carl here:
tel: [phone]
email: [e-mail] or [e-mail]
He really is a top notch expert in repairing and replacing the convertible hood on a MK1 golf and has completed loads!
This is the first outing for the Rode Go mics (only on the intro as I wasn't sure how good it would sound) I think I'll be using them much more in future, but let me know your thoughts below.
Finally, this is shot on the GoPros in 4K! I'll do more on 4k in future although the Mac isn't super happy editing it.

Thats normal for an old roof. The rear window frame always rots out because youstaple the cloth to a plastic frame thats imbedded in the metal frame a little water moisture can collect in that edge and rust will come trugh. NOT true there is a tention cable in the side that together with a spring holds the side straight when the string breaks the tention is gone and wont hold the side in plase and it creaps up. The first roof was called sonneland i believe that was the brand. it was always a cloth and the line in the rroof hes poibnting out is stiching from factory (Witch u can still get) The PVC roof never was factory so this one had already had a roof replacement in the past. I lube the roof once a year liberally BUT NOT WITH WD 40 use a silicone based lube it takes way longer for it to dry out and is better for the plastic bushings.
