That is the most un cluttered engine bay I have ever seen .. looks absolutely amazing 👏 excellent quality and work 👌 everything is perfection.

Just that radiator work had my jaw on the floor, then came the exhaust work and I was finished. Great work fellas.👌🏾🇿🇦♥️

I love how that's the first thing shown too. Guy starts off with the radiator... savage

Absolutely amazing. Cleanest engine bay I have ever seen. TIG mastery.

Thank you 🙏

It's a TIG-saw puzzle. Sorry for the pun.

[@reillyp8115]

Dam I bet that intake tube took forever!

[@caveone-365]

Nice pie cuts and argon back purging. Makes all the difference. The 3.6 badge on the intake was a nice touch as well. Great to see a proper stainless mandrel exhaust with v-bands, Y-pipe, flex joints, etc done correctly. Exactly how I build my exhausts whenever I fab one, and really the only way to do it IMO.

[@AntoineMk1]

Thank you 🙏

[@thanosdv4501]

that exhaust looks ..damn AMAZING !! front to back just amazing !! great work man

[@AntoineMk1]

Thank you 🙏

[@queensgambit6341]

But no back purge on the welds so the inside of the pipe and penitration of welds will corroded and be a weak point of exhaust and crack in sort time just FYI stainless needs to be back purged in order to prevent any problems from. Happening further.... Drastic13

[@fr33dumb0]

​@@queensgambit6341he def was back purging, look closer.

[@williamjamison5010]

I used to have a little jetta, the first VW I ever owned. It needed a new water pump, my first endeavour as a mechanic. It ran like a dream apart from the heater which had a dodgy elbow joint. Loved that car .

[@KnurdMonkey]

That's so damn clean.... the exhaust pipe welding skills are over 9000!

[@lawrencegerman2163]

You have some of the best friends that cars could ever bring together. You are so good right now fam. Congrats on the build, the race and the WIN.

[@OMGAcademy2020]

This guy is super legit! No fancy stuff, no tag no label no brand. No 10k exhaust worth like other! Only pure customizations!

[@Urumasun-f8s]

You are a person to look up to, you are great, you are a real master of your craft, and working with an exhaust and a radiator is a separate art form, thank you)

[@0650asanders]

This goes beyond cars. This is art.

[@Darknamja]

I have always respected the guys who worked in the fabrication shop. Well done. 😉

[@vomdeich1011]

Great work! Short term licence plate from Aurich got me in. My parents used to have a Jetta mk1 in malagarot - 1.6 diesel.. way less cool.

It’s so clean! It’s actually breaking my brain, I can’t help find myself thinking it needs a strut tower brace, like it’s missing something. But it’s not! It’s beautiful!

[@AntoineMk1]

Yeas! Merci beaucoup 🙌

[@leneanderthalien]

Mouais, je connais très bien les Golf et Scirocco mk1 qui sont construites exactement pareil que cette jetta : cette adaptation est très dangereuse, car la coque de ces voitures est très faible, le train avant très fragile (peut se déformer au moindre nid de poule), la suspension très mauvaise (très faible course et amortissement merdique) et les freins absolument nuls même sur la GTi (sur les 1800 les freins sont à peu près acceptables: les étriers sont 2x PLUS GROS que sur les GTi1600!)) et je ne vois aucun renfort de train avant, pas de barre anti rapprochement , et vu que les roues sont petites donc en taille d'origine, les freins sont donc également d'origine...

Hey brother, that looked like an electric car if it had an engine bay!!!! That was clean as hell especially that custom aluminum work!

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

very nice period color, reminds me of the color I spray painted my first moped with, RAL 3020. Beautiful contrast with that black intake manifold. And that welded intake pipe, by the way, is beyond sexy Sir.

[@AntoineMk1]

Thanks, color is Actually Mars Red, witch was an OEM VW color for the Jetta and Golf 1

[@GolBlackMK5]

The mk1, 2 and 3 didn't come to Brazil but it looks so much like the Voyage and Santana we have here, good inspiration for a project. Beautiful car and great setup.

[@adamv242]

Absolutely beautiful work! That intake... Nice to see a mk1 Jetta getting some love.

[@elbowievaglover]

My only concern is water might be entering the engine through the air filter, but the car is a beatiful beast. Greetings from Texas, USA.

[@iHelpSolveIt]

Nicely done. Some tips i would suggest you make to make servicing easier. 1.nice job on thr radiator however welding that fan cowl to the core is going to cause issues later on or already has by now. 2. No HVAC, ouch. 3. air to air intercooler with a air intake higher up will help in the case of flooding and having air intake that can be shut to stop high water levels on roads will protect the engine. 4. Engine too far forward. 5. A BMW or Mercedes engine mount for the front would be better 6. HVAC inlet pipe allows for the engine to move and is lighter. 7. That chassis wasnt designed for that power torque, it should have had extra spot welds, the video doesn't show if you did that. 8. Needs an odditional Oil cooler for Engine and gearbox with a thyristor to check temps in each. 9.brakes need upgrades to handle and shock and coilovers need upgrading. Exhaust manifolds need Flexi joints to allow for engine movement. Regardless of all the above, it would be nice to see what airfilter set up you used.
