- In this video I try to do a fast flip with a cheap car! It's turns out it's cheap for a reason! A lot of car means a lot of problems to get it going again.
What would you do on this car? Keep going or break it for parts?
It was my Dads funeral today, this video was the only thing thats made me smile all day when i saw the thumbnail, and ive had 30mins of not thinking about it, so thank you, great video as always.
Aww no way!. Hope you got someone with you to keep you company mate, that’s a rough time 😢.
Condolences to you and your family, it was my Moms funeral on Tuesday as well😢….remember the good times.
@@jasonshaw4957 Bless you, yes all we can do is remember the good time Hope you ok. X
Stay strong brother, they’re always watching

Do a proper repair job on the rusty sill. Blend the paint as best as possible into the rear quarter panel. Someone else has already suggested decals to help hide the (hopefully) subtle paint colour difference. Be honest when selling it. Lots of pics of the work carried out showing rust removed, and area rebuilt. Won't get top price for it, but if done well it should still be worth a good amount.
Yer I think it’s worth a go 👍👍
I deffo agre worth saving . Doing for the love . Love is never easy
👍🏴😁✌️
I agree on this. Aim for the best blend as achievable. Cat D unfortunately and doesn't warrant the full respray. If it looks a bit off you can live with it. At least the sills will be rock solid
Make a detailed video of the quality repairs you always do.
It will be peace of mind to the buyer and hopefully sell easier.
When is the next video of it.
Instead of painting it to match the rest of the car, just wrap it.
I'd replace the sill and just paint the repair and blend in as best you can with a good mop and polish 👌let the next owner decide if they want a full respray or not. Hard work of the rust repair is done 👍
You should always wear a mask 😷 and my advice is spray white vinegar with water mix 80-30 mix all over the car and on the carpets and then on the carpet and headliner with mould killer and to wet-vac the carpets after.
Nice video and to think that here in the Netherlands a MK5 R32 costs at least €10,000
Fix the sill and wrap the full car. Brilliant content
Every penny is worth spending on this Beauty 🤩
I’d say the same, as a painter, blowing it in up to the rub strip would be a good enough job. That and the wing, and call it a day. It’s cat D, it’s not an investment car (well not as much), someone will buy it to drive and they likely won’t be as fussy as the man looking for the low mileage high dollar car.
Yer just flip mask it across that moulding and do a crap job so it matches the rest of the car ha ha 🤣
Couldn’t click quick enough. Love your content! 👌🏻
Cheers buddy, hope you enjoy it 👍
@@ODDAutos brilliant as always. Shame about this hidden sill. Cage and track it.. wouldn’t spend the money fixing it.
Oof. Rough ending but I appreciate the honesty and the balance you strike in terms of technical explanation and entertainment
We ran one of these for about 12 years. Was a terrific car.
What did we do.....normal maintenance, also dsg and haldex service....couple of batteries, ( in boot, under a hatch,bit of a pain to get to)
Suspension bits, couple of window regulators. That was about it. Very reliable engine.
So much so, i bought an r36 for myself ( golf was the wifes car) and i still have it, after a good ten years. Great sounds.
This channel is brilliant. Always gives me a chuckle, 😂👍👍👍👍
First time watching the channel, just up to the oil change and thought ‘you’ve bought 6l of oil and are emptying into a 5l container’… the mess and honesty deserves a subscribe, I’m in. 👍👍👍
Weld it up and wrap it in same colour blue but Matt finish, will look spot on with the gloss black wheels 😮
Just enjoying bing watching all your vids .Good viewing, informative and a great lay out plus i like no adds too .Cheers
Thanks mate, really appreciate that 👍👍
I feel your pain! Just spent £5k getting both sills,rear arches and front wings done on my R32 along with paint!! The next owner of it will benefit from it all being done but I wish I’d just punted it before I got the work done as I’m never getting that money back but I couldn’t sell it on to someone knowing it was rotten so I can sell the car in good faith knowing it’s all been fixed
It's worth fixing, I'm an R32 fan had a MK4 R32 wish I still had mine 😢. Just love the VR6 engine not a fan of the four banger popcorn 🍿 fart maker's!
Cheers 🍻 🇺🇸
A 3 door R32 will be a future classic for sure! We all know someone who says “I once had one of those, I should never have sold it”
You have come this far, get the sill sorted and a nice paid job and keep it for a while. It’s always nice to see a project through! What would Matt Armstrong 🤔
Great to see more content from Odd Autos 👍
Brilliant video, just what we want, in depth from the very start. Personally id put the running gear in a mk1 or a caddy, sell whats left of the golf and stick a bit of money in the back pocket. We all get bit every now and again, never nice, but turn it in to something positive. R32 Caddy and sell it to DCG
I’d definitely repair it and get it smart repaired it’s definitely worth it after all the work you put into it. Still got a lot of profit in it if done right.
Was rather sad seeing an .:R32 left sat there in this condition but I’m glad you took it in to hopefully getting it singing on the road again! The VR6 deserves to roar once again!
That was going so well too! Can't wait to see what you decide to do with it - Another brilliant and informative video. Great skills and you have a brilliant workshop too - Looking forward to your next video.
Goodbye, black wheels! You can’t beat original 👏🏽
Great video, great work,such a shame about the rust,such a brilliant golf to drive,i would do the rust and keep it for a daily,its a future classic 👍👌😀
The R32 is the car that i always wanted and never had.
The value will most defintelt increase, and i m sure decent examples wikk go for north of 10 grand in a year if 2. The VR6 has so much character, i doubt we.will ever see something of its ilk again.
I would love to see you do a full restoration, fix the rusty sills, ice blast and rust proof the underside and give it a full respray. Youd be over budget, but youd have a nice R32 that in a couple of years would give you your money back.
Wrapping is a thing for heavily modified cars, but in my opinion a respray in the same blue would be the best bet for this classic.
I think everyone would like to see it fixed properly, but just blend the paint the best you can to keep the cost down, so when you sell it at least the new owner has a solid bass to work on, good luck, great video content, 👍👏👏👏👍
Love the show, my opinion dnt waste time fixing the rust, there are to many mk5 r32's in the world. There is no need to restore it. Here's a plan. Which I am sure most would agree😅.
Get yourself a clean vw mk2 shell, yup here we go😂. Full transfer of everything from the mk5 to the mk2. Man, now we talking. Full 4 wheel drive, Dsg, The works. That would be something to watch now.🤤
You’ve got to weld in the sill repair panels. Alternative solution for paint cost would be Two Tone the paint finish. Grey on the bottom and leave the top half blue. It’s an idea anyway.
It’s a good idea mate 👍👍
A cheap wrap would do the job nicely! Such a sorry ending to a fantastic video. Nice work mate 👍🏻
Stick some sills on it & paint it (body colour) up to the rubbing strip. Failing that get the whole thing wrapped!
Gorgeous car. It was a beauty when new.
Good spec car, Centre consul, leather, sunroof, DSG,
Oh dear. Typical Mk5 golf though, they rot worse than the mk3s did.
Cat D just isn't worth rust repair if paying professional rates... but you might be able to save some money there. Can't the repair just be blended under the bump strip? Edit to add - the wrap idea is neat one, as it is CAT D there is no point keeping it original. I always thought white looks nice on Mk5s
Now you know the engine is good, interior is sound etc you'll easily make back your money. A shame as it was going so well.
When you fix the rust you could paint the rocker covers black and if you can cut and weld close enough to where the cover sits you could paint it black as well just above and around the cover area in the same design the cover is so it looks like it blends in with the cover. Sort of hard to describe it. 😅
Another great video .as a mechanic and welder myself cut the rot out and if you have clean metal below the sideskirt line weld it up jobs a good one
Yes I’ll have a go, feels a bit flexible higher up but hopefully it’s clean metal. 👍
my dream car was a astra h vxr then i seen one of these go past me. The noise these make and amazing.
If nothing else wrong (engine/gear box OK) repair sill and do minimal paint job. Paint doesn't need to be perfect... I like the black sill idea below! Nice vid ta.
In my opinion, the R32 is a future classic. There aren't many of them around now, so I would personally do it up to a good standard. 😊
A few people got there before me, but definitely repair the car and possibly get it wrapped. Even if you break even on sale price it’s another bit of history saved.
Had one for 6 years best car i ever had never let me down
I had a Mk4 R32 and expected to see rusty Cills as mine were rotten. Luckily I replaced them and the skirts covered the repair…definitely worth doing the Cills and try to match any paint needed…but a full re-spray will eat the profit 😩
O3 Ozone generator is a must have in your shop when flipping cars it sterilize odors well
I'm really poorly today. I have man flu. So, perfect timing for an upload. Defo repair it. You'll easily make a profit, even with the corrosion repair. Future classic.
Aww mate hope you feel better soon! At least listening to my voice might send you to sleep better 🤣.
Great video, I have owned multiple R32's over the years. You should most definately restore this example, even with it being a CAT D, if you put some effort into this, you will see a return.
Sell AS-IS, let the buyer know about the rust. You did an amazing job with the restoration, hope you can still make a nice profit for a few days worth of work =)
Absolutely gutted for you when that rust showed up. I love the amount of care you give to these old cars and really wanted to see it gleaming at the end, massive shame.
Fix the rusted sil. Paint match as best you can the bit you've repaired. Then place a funky decal or wide vynal wrap down the sil and doors both sides to cover the repair and give it a sporty look. David from OZ
Having just bought a 'cheap' r172 slk this video is mirroring my reality. If I get it through the MOT I think I may cut my losses and hopefully get my money back on it. Whoever did the last MOT with no advisories was bent as fu...
I feel your pain, i also flip cheap cars and the latest one (broken cambelt, head off and new valves job) was booked in for MOT and i thought i would clean up the sills and put some fresh Shutz body coating on, well my hand went straight through the sill, it was quite well disguised by the original thick rubbery factory coating, both the sills are rotted about 60cm long in the same place as yours, not impressed, cancelled the MOT and retired to the house for a brew and a sulk. Lesson of the day, get right under the car and have a damn good look at the underside and not just a quick glance.
Another great video Paul 👍 shame about the corrosion 😢 seen same thing with Focus ST's hiding rusted out sills. Worth repairing and selling on as a paint work project if you want out of car cheaply 🤷
The wire brushing on the caliper had my bum hole puckering 😱 what a horrible noise!
I really like the mk4 R32's, would of liked to have owned one, not so sure now.
Do the mechanical repairs yourself, get the repairs into primer and do the best you can with spray cans to paint it. I’m sure it’ll still be worth at least £4k even with the not perfect paint.
And I thought Italian cars were just the worst for rust and random wear issues. I'm actually surprised this came through that amount of neglect and still was a car. Thanks for demonstrating that buying a car, as a punt, on doing a bit of a flip and building your funds into going higher, is really a risky gamble at time. And when it starts to go wrong, how to ethically try and handle it. Respect for not hiding its faults and making someone else's life a nightmare. I like surprises, but only the good ones...
Loving this series keep them coming!
Oil incident cracked me up,very relatable!
awesome find, bittersweet but loved the video!! ive got a 5dr dsg at the moment so much fun and its all about the noise !!!
What a bummer, ive been there, it stings.
I would strip it and sell all the good bits, try to make the most of your money back. You could attempt to sell it as is and cut your losses.
Like your vids, entertaining and good to watch.
Take care.
Definitely wear mask next time. Especially with the mouse turds, well done. Beautiful car.
Great content as always, thats a given.
After all the wk put in I would repair the sill, tart the paint wk up and sell it. With the engine strong and the bodywork solid I'd stick to your guns pick a price and stick to it.
Every other 06 plate will be in the same state or worse and run into the ground or worse, eg poss gearbox shagged etc.
Best of luck.👏👏👏👍
Easily double your money parting it out....look at the prices for grille,seats and mirrors etc..then the mechanical bits! Haldex,dsg....
IMHO because you are that far into it the only sensible option is to repair the sills and have a good body shop guy "blow in" the paint to some of the quarter and some of the door, it shouldn't cost too much and if it is done right it will hardly be noticeable to the average punter, especially after a damn good all round 2 stage polish which that car badly needs. Alternative is to sell as it is as a project to someone for what you have put into it but you wouldn't get any content out of it though... 😜Best of luck with it!!
I think you should definitely save it and get it back to its former glory. Great content btw thanks
Call me racist or whatever but this guy is the only british guy i can watch his videos and enjoy lol, you got a new subscriber ODD Autos 🤣🤣
worth the repair to the sill to give structural strength, what ever paint job your do, future classic
It's still worth saving, some welding it's a vag car they all rust, what about a wrap and it would be nice to have seen how you serviced the dsg and other work done like instead of just saying that's all that done or fixed , love the channel ❤
Really enjoyed this video! Do think you should of had a mask on doing the interior probably inhaled a lot mould there🤣🤣
2:12. "really bang em up the box". That's my quote of the day
My first time watching your channel. I appreciate the honesty and no nonsense presenting style. That rotten sill was a bit of a sucker punch. Up until that point I was thinking it was a good car in need of a good clean and some basic mechanicals sorted. I would fix it mechanically but not do the paint. There will be a buyer out there who will want it and they can decide to restore it to factory or turn it into a track / modded car knowing it is mechanically sound. They can commit to how much they want to spend on it and you get onto another project.
Fix the sills and side, then a two tone paint job or a nice big sticker down the side to cover the repair. I'm sure you can make it a nice boy racer.
6 months ago I got an A3 8P 2.0tfsi Quattro. For 5.5k since then I’ve spent 2k on brake discs pads full engine service, all filters changed. I Just need another 4/500£ for gear box and haldex service from Audi. Ready for a tune
oh, and to fix that rust, clean it up, brush on some rust inhibitor and then sikaflex the side skirt back over and sell it, and just hope who ever is buying it doesnt see the video first. 😜
Ha ha great idea, advertise as nearly rust free” 🤣
Love the flip videos, but ouch, that rust hurt! Was going to suggest 2 tone paint scheme like previous comments. Would look smart for less cost. In too deep to stop now, hopefully still a few quid in it. Thanks for the great content 👌👍🏻
That made me laugh. As a r32 owner and DIY mechanic I could relate to the oil spill. I once dropped the slump plug into the oil and panicked, forgot it the hot and put my hand in it. Luckily wearing gloves which saved me.
Personally i wouldn't spend much more on it as it's a CAT car and people just won't pay out much, Cheap track car better option, thanks for another good video 👍
What I would do is paint it with some stone chip under the sill once replaced then rattle can try and blend or even better if you have your own spraygun and stick a livery on the rear quarters if you can’t get a great finish
Definitely worth getting it back up to 100% ..these are earning good £ and you've come this far already!
I would repair the body and use two tone color, not painting but wrapping the lower side with a lighter color. I think you can end up with a much cooler paint job. I really hope you will have profit and carry on with your videos. Nice work on this one too 👍
I thought you might have cleaned it first . Great car , if it was me I would spend the necessary money .
Tip top content , looks like you’ll be getting the welder out then yourself.😬 if able to save cut below the body kit line so it’s not seen when kit fitted back on . Keep em coming 🏴
Repair the rust and only paint the repaired area as good as possible. Maybe it is not 100 % perfect but 95 %. It is a really great car the V6 R32 engine, worth to have fun with it a long time. Great looking car with the best R32 color! Make it shining!
Would have been nice to see the undercarriadge of the car cause you even had it lifted up.. sitting for four yeras in the humid uk weather is bound to have an effect on the frame.. ruined a car myself when i left it under a large pinetree in our summercabin and went a way for the winter 😂 keep the videos coming.. great content
Typical MK5 golf, that’s why I got rid of mine, rotted inside and outside sills right along on both sides, even as a welder it was too much for me. But you have shelter and a lift so not as bad 😅! I think you could maybe have a go at painting it yourself, take your time, flat and polish, if you don’t fancy that, you could possibly wrap the car. If not then a track car like you say wouldn’t be a bad choice 👍🏻
I suppose with wrap on a track car it’s easy in the future if it needs panels changing, cheap then to just wrap and fit.
I've started so il finish. Worth it.
Great video
If possible , fix the rust part and just paint black strip on the bottom for the both side, 🤔
So you don’t have to worry about blending the paint.
Loved this project and this vid made me sub, please give us more 00’s or noughties German projects!
Awesome- ya might as well repair it properly and then sell it for top dollar - or performance tune and fit a big sound system, make some custom subwoofer enclosures out of fibreglass molded in the sides of boot.
VW T4 VR6 build. Could be a longer series of videos. Just a thought. Keep up the great videos!
That’s awesome of you guys to do that. I almost got teary eyed. I said almost!
Repair it and wrap it Paul. Jobs a good en 😊😊
Cheers Dave, think I’ll do that 👍
Just came across the channel and I love it already!! The fact you post a video with actual progress instead of just an over edited video of you buying the car and doing 1 bit per week is very good it’s much better than most other peoples content form hate 20 minute videos with no progress myself. My mate lives on a farm and leaves full bird feeder in boot for this exact reason so if mice get in they don’t eat anything else! Lovely car, great job. Repair sills and just paint the car yourself, wrap it or half and half it. Graphics would work too, make it a race car livery😜
Great video. Hi from New Zealand. I reckon cut in a new sill etc and just do blended paint job. Some young fella will want it cause it's got mag wheels and new tyres!
Stumbled across your channel, saw the R32 & instantly clicked to watch. Subscribed 👌
12:12 lolol 13:10 oh dear, nothing worse than trying to be ultra careful and then making a complete mess. 24:10 Ratatouille's house!! Green mould is a nightmare I'm amazed you didn't wear a mask. It was all going so well until 31:36. Defo use it as a track car and have some fun. Great content.
Ha ha looked like chocolate 🤣
Great film 👌
Yeas I just waited too se what you wold find under there! 😅
I bought a MK5 GTI 2006 and yes I did the same mistake, did not take my hand under their😩
1 month of rust work!
Now I bought me a MK5 R32 2007 , this time I did tjek it and did find rust in the left side, the prise dropped on the care 👌
Pleas fix the care, these cars are icons 👌👌 they will goo up and be a god investment 👍
Thanks for a great show
Greetings from
Sweden 🇸🇪
Sometimes you gotta walk away. But good on you. From other car videos they use an ozone thingy to kill the mould spores.
I’d repair the sills both sides (assuming its the same the other side)😢 then probably wrap it a Matt colour, maybe the same blue. Much cheaper than paint and wont stand out too badly on inner parts of the doors etc? Great video as always! Love the content and keep up these flipping videos! My dream to do what you do in my own garage so you’re inspiring me!
You're exactly the sort of guy everyone want to work on their car. No half measures, everything done to a high standards. Whixh unfortunately means you'll have to do the full sill replacements here!
Do a proper job. Like you always do mate..... Got me waiting to see the finished R32. I've always wanted one like the one you've got..... Keep up the brilliant work and cannot wait to see the end result 👍👍👍👍
It'll be worth doing the sills and blending the paint as best you (or someone!) can - these MK5 R32's are going up in value. Well done.
Depending on the milage a good example is still fetching strong money.
You also have gained a good name for your self for delivering high quality cars.
I reckon do it to your usually high standard and it will fetch the north of what these are going for. Failing that fall back onto a raffle or see if dream cars will have it off you.
I'd certainly get a couple of tickets if there at a good price. It's an appreciating classic. 🤟
Such good videos these! Great work! Not a huge amount of profit in it if going down full repair so patch it up and send it to the track. Enjoy it and show it’s worth then sell it on. Track cars aren’t pretty 😉
