Been good fun working with Kaz, maybe we can find something else to build with you guys in the future, it's been a few years.

We've put the link to your follow-up episode in the video description above. Was a bit shocked to see how much work it needed, Thanks again!

Absolutely! Thanks for following along.

Certainly is... Goes like a rocket! Looks amazing too. A real credit to Kaz and his team - check out his channel, and our June Heretics video to see it finished.

VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia - Often called a Razor Edge Karmann Ghia. Made between 1962-69 they have a gathered kudos in recent years, but rust for fun, and restorations can be costly. They look stunning though - especially this example.

Thanks for coming down to join us, and really appreciate the hard work on our green Mk2 Golf - plus the joy ride in the Boosted Buggy!! 😁

Thanks for coming down!

That's great to hear - thanks for taking the time to comment, we'll pass your thanks on to Rob.

This wasn't intentional, and sorry that you have received the video that way. Sure, there are some quirks to this car and the reasons behind many of them, and these do raise a smile when you think about them. We have sent the video to his family, and they have watched it with him (he doesn't use the internet himself) and he was pleased to see his car again (we are working on a plan to reunite them again.) Many cars of this age have things which no longer work properly. We intend to iron out those creases and make it as good as it can be once again, without going into the realms of a full restoration.

Our pleasure and we hope to drive it back up to see your Grandad very soon! 👍

That’s amazing, we were super happy to be part of the preservation of the car, we could see it has been looked after so well by him. 🙏 You’re right it’s about the memories made and this little cars story is far from over.

Yeah, it is Montana Green - 1.8 driver model, correctly identified. 🏆

Haha!! Depending on what you have carried in it, or how bad the door membranes are and how damp the carpets might be... 😂 We've smelt some real stinkers!

@@driveheritage that scrap yard smell so to speak damp and funky

Sadly not everyone these days does look after their possessions. We are far more 'throw-away' in our culture. Aside from a few creature comforts - Air Con, electric windows and Sat Nav, this car will do pretty much the same as any modern vehicle, without the huge price tag, massive depreciation or carbon footprint...Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more with the Golf.

Great cars! Shame we can't save them all, or even keep them all isn't it?

@@driveheritage it was like a tank but underpowered 1.6 better bet.

The Driver models are great - but the GTI is fantastic! There are plenty out there - good luck with your search!

Mr Bendon didn't want to scrap it, but that was the most financially rewarding option for him... The Mayor of London would give him £2000 to scrap it. In fact, he offered to sell the car to us for less... We refused and equalled this offering, so he didn't lose out by doing what we all consider to be the right thing, and keeping the car alive.

It needed some love, so wait for the next episode where we take care of it. 👍

@@surreyautoworks Will look forward to it . Had my mk1 golf now for thirty odd years , fantastic cars !

@@stephenhargreaves381 that’s awesome. It’s great that Heritage supply so many parts to keep cars like this alive. 👌 We will also be jumping back onto our Mk1 Golf Gti project very soon.

@@surreyautoworks 👍

Thanks! It was like a trip back in time, pretty much buying it from a description over the phone, and a couple of Whatsapp pics from Mr Bendon's Son-in-Law. Fortunately, there weren't too many nasty surprises.

Thanks Dan - you should see it now they've cleaned it up - it shines!

Thanks for the feedback we’ll be sure to try that for the next episode 😊

The Mk2 is a great all-round classic. Close enough in style to the iconic Mk1, but a little more refined and useable, and will cope with modern traffic and daily duties if you so wish. Get that EV chopped in for a classic! You know it makes sense.... 😆

@@driveheritage Yeah I much prefer the shape of the Mk 2, a bit more square on the corners. I can't go back to an ICE from an EV now, they are just too nice to drive! 🤣 Don't get me wrong, I'd love a nice Mk2 as a side car but for a daily driver the EV is staying.

@@phixi0n Fair enough.... We'll have to encourage you to buy a second vehicle then!

Thanks guys - we've got you in the next episode! 💪

Absolutely!

Great to have you along. Let's try and have a chat with you guys next time.

Thanks!

We stock a Mk1 Golf adapter but sounds like you will need a custom piece made up if they aren't a straight forward fit. www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/wc698100-brake-caliper-conversion-brackets-for-g60-brakes.html

September 15th is our last Heretics Meet of the year. 6-9pm at Heritage HQ, BN43 6PB

@@driveheritage my birthday that day are be there many thanks 👍

Messed about by the company I was just about to order many parts from here until my t4 exhaust turned up damaged and one section didn't even fit 40 emails later + unanswered phone calls 2 days later and still no return label for refund shocking service bunch of monkeys avoid at all cost

Thanks! Yes we agree!! :)

McFuco? their motto is Mcfuco me? No! Mcfuco you!!!
