The scenes with the owner and her son have since been removed due to a privacy issue, still, I hope you enjoy it!
lmao your face when he chucked the bolt!
Unbelievable 😂
Kindness must run your family Sledge as Sid also helps people out for free. The world needs more guys like you. Stay safe.
Thankyou 🙏
It probably hit a Duster with it so high up. You don’t see Mk4 Golfs anymore so it’s nice to see this old girl surviving! It was a really nice thing for you to do fella, great job and great video.
Yeah that makes sense, thanks buddy!
Well done for getting it back on the road. Not sure her saying she is now going to sell it and get electric car was the best thankyou for all your hard work ;-) The one good thing about modern cars is unbolting the whole slam panel section. That car should, as you say go on another 15 years or so. Perfect for city use with all the parking dings it will get and battle scars. Does she have to get any official inspection to allow it back on road or are rules not that strict? Nice finding the 144 round the corner and in such great condition.
Haha she was super happy and thanked us loads, I didn't capture that. It's great isn't it, downside is having to do all that for a radiator swap on some cars.
I'm not too sure about the insurance side, especially here, I'm hoping I never have to deal with it 😅 And thanks!
Actually no, there's no official record of the damage other than the insurance claim if there is one. So once the car is fixed you're free to use it as long as it's roadworthy. When it passes a cursory glance from the police and the next TÜV-inspection, you're fine.
Nice job! And I love the 144 at the end!
Thanks!
And that car gets new colors, just gives it caracter :)
Couple goals right there. You and your brother are the nicest people honestly. Wish you both health and happiness. Great work mate.
Thanks for the kind words mate!
Great job guys! You are such an adorable couple workin together to help other people! You are making world a better place with these acts of kindness. Ha you never dissapoint with proper Volvo content! 😀. Cheers!
Thanks! She's an asset! Helped me figure out that the painted bolts were for the bonnet hinges of course 😅🥴 Had to get a Volvo in there 😎
Nice job even if youre a hipster. That golf is really worth the save really smart engine, small fuel consumption for single mom is important now more than never.
Yeah exactly!! Thanks 🙂
Hi from Vancouver Canada...."You're a good man Charlie Brown", for doing that work...personally, it looked cool with the dark front...shock...after that she said she wanted to go for another car .....ahhhh....Come on over here, I can let you work on my 06 XC70....Take care 'hipster"
Haha, thank you! One day 😃
Cool to see the 67-72 144!
They are quite rare even here in California.
I know there is another person in the Bay Area (ua-cam.com/users/MakeitOnce) and I'd wager we are pretty unusual with having first series 140 cars.
Nice, definitely one to hold on to! I'll check his videos out
if it is the same set up as the polo , my son did a similar thing and we had to replce the bonnet , and the plastic cross that supports the radiator etc , headlights etc ,
Nice, did he start the harlequin process as well?
if you feed the crows scraps they become friendly .
Such a nice guy! Please tell me you pulled up pics of a Golf Harlequin for Mrs. Involvo'd!!!
Thanks man I still need to do that!
@@Involvod Not sure if you saw it but there was one at SEMA this year towed by one of the VW SUV's wrapped in a harlequin theme. I'll have to find it and send you a link on insta.
She should not sell that Golf.
60.000km is barely run in! The clutch, suspension parts, brakes, everything has only done 60.000km max.
With the exterior and paint and because it's an older model it will never get a decent trade-in value. Best thing to do with the Golf is to run it to about 150.000km or the first really expensive repair, which ever comes first. Then trade it in.
@@jfv65 I couldn't agree more!
@@jfv65 This x1000! You are absolutely right! Cheap parts and easy to fix. Any new EV will cost an arm and a leg to fix.
Brilliant video. You did such a great job and such a good thing helping her out 👍 Hipster 🤣😎 xx
Haha thanks!
Well done mate.. Tidy job. Loved that 144, my parents drove a safari yellow 144 for all of my childhood. Amazing car.
Oh nice! They are such a lovely car
Golfs are awesome cars. Just as easy an volvo :)
Good on you for helping.
This guy has a big ole heart!
Thanks both!
What a cracking job you did on her car top man Sledge top man
Cheers Lee 💪
Did you disconnect the battery?, that is not a lot of damage to activate the airbags, now if it had been more damage, the driver*s & passenger airbag would have gone off so they are lucky
Thanks mate that is something I forgot to mention! Not sure why they didn't go off actually, quite clever how they work
To be honest different colours make car more special
Definitely adds character 😃
Oh, heute mal ein Video mit einem jüngeren Auto. Well done, gerne mehr davon!
Danke!
Great job and kudos to you for helping her out! I laughed so hard when the little guy tossed the bolt into the engine!
Thanks! He even shared his biscuits with me so all is forgiven 😄
You were very good to do that for the girl.😀
Thanks!
You did a great job on the car Sledge. You did a really good deed fixing the car for a lady in need. ❤️
Thank you 🙂
A little bit more blue parts and its like police patrol car in finland
Haha I didn't think of that, a Police decal on the side would look cool
i know you been inactive but i have the same issue as you at 16:50 !
the gap between fender and hood gradually becomes bigger and bigger, do you need to adjust the hood or the fender?
thank you!!
That 144 is stunning ❤️❤️
Isn't it 😍
the shocks are blown on that car looks like the upper mounts on them are bad
60000 km...:) Sure, bro. Thats why you should run away when they advertise a car with a female owner. Great video and a nice little Golf. Are you in Germany (because of the number plate)? Your accent is native you are not german are you? Those tires look miniature on the Golf, 14 inch? I love mk 4 Golfs thanks for the video
I caught this video today. To my surprise, a MK4 VW! Thanks! My daily is a MK4 Bora TDI stick estate and all of this is relevant for me. Glad to see it. When I am not working on my Dad's 740T wagon (= 745 as I notice Elsa is also notated as such), I am working on my 2002 Bora! (I must have a thing for wagons/estates) Nice work for the young family. I had no idea the front clip was so modular, good to know as I have to replaced headlights and grill soon. Thanks again!
Oh nice! It was a joy to work on even after working on old Volvos, I really couldn't complain!
Props for a job well done!
Thank you!
you are awesome
Too kind! Thank you 🙏
Great job fantastic considering the tools,space and conditions you had to work in..great content
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it
Never be a Millionaire :D
I have same problem somebody brake checked me😢
Not a hipster. Yeah, you wish...
Mega bloke mate 👌🏻 and great video again lad, would love to know how todo all this 😅🙂
Thanks mate! It's daunting at first but once you get over that it's not that bad, filming/pictures help for when you forget what went where 😅
@@Involvod no worries bud! And aye I’ve just gotta take the plunge and get stuck in, I ain’t gonna learn or know if I don’t start haha thanks for the advice 👌🏻
