CAN I GET MY MK2 GOLF GTI BACK ON THE ROAD?!

[@animal355]

Awesome car, I've had a few, and I wished I'd never sold them. Such an easy car to own and live with, most things you can fix yourself and you don't need a laptop and a degree in computing to find out stuff. Just hearing it start warmed my heart, I do miss a Golf Gti in my life.

Love the colour. My dad and I 84 on a b plate, and an 88 on an f plate. He had a black run out 16 valve in black but didn’t like the 16 valve, he preferred the 8 valve as it felt more unburstable. His 1988 8 valve went with 176,000 miles on the clock, used as his daily for over ten years and very often driven hard. He once drove it to the French alps four up, and said the car was the best he’d had doing the same journey, doing 36 to the gallon on the motorway, and a riot on the mountain road.

Thank you! A lot of people prefer the 8v to drive. Lovely history you have with them. They’re fab cars!

[@kylereese4822]

@@ameliaautomotive Ever seen the Citystormer version ? and fun fact the large Tesla drive unit will fit in the front of the mk3 which is just a rebodied mk2... I`ve also seen them powered by Prius motors...

[@PooterOfficial]

Amazing car, brilliant colour.

[@sachnxtra5876]

Really nice that is, I’ve got a mk2 GTI myself, it’s an 8V 1989, I love it, I’ve done so much work to mine

[@Green007ism]

Nice video! I'm in the process of getting my jetta back on the road this year. Looking forward to seeing more progress with your golf!

[@chrisb2443]

Any updates ???

[@peterjames9377]

Great cars, that’s given me some motivation to get mine back out 😊 Good luck and will look forward to the next installmemt.

[@ameliaautomotive]

Awesome! Thank you. Is it a MK2 as-well you have? 😊

[@Carcode]

The epitome of a hot hatch! Look forwards to seeing what you do with it next year 😄

[@PumaFred09]

My favorite car too. I'm excited to watch this build!

[@markturner-smith5309]

Those alternator tension bolts always sheared even on when they were not very old. It’s best to copper grease on install then loosen off very 6mths keep sprayed with white grease retighten.

Awww just found your video, this looks so nice and original very very little rust etc, the interior looks mint very rare, the color in green is perfect, cant wait to see more videos on this Golf

[@ameliaautomotive]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Blackmamba12345]

Nice to see you have a Mk2 Gti - I have one too - my father bought it new in 1988 - it is E reg 8v Digifant.

[@Blackmamba12345]

I should do a cold start vid for you to enjoy!

[@IwillBwaiting]

The exterior is important but in the end all you want is to drive it, so if it's in a good mechanical condition, then drive it all day long. I prefeer standard or as long as you refit the standard part, like an exhaust system or headlights maybe:)

[@DevanMoodley-b2y]

If you don't want it I will take it lol

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Will be keeping a keen eye on this as its probably in a similar state as my mk2 GTI 16V

[@antonmartivaz]

Precioso coche, yo tengo un 8v rojo y 16v blanco 💪🏼💪🏼

[@drewwagar]

Lovely car. I have a mk2 16v on an f-reg too. Keep it up. :)

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

A broken Volkswagen? Never! 🤣

[@ameliaautomotive]

Haha broken because of my own doing 😂

[@shellea3]

What’s the cost of a Respray these days ?

[@davidcooks5265]

Yes 👍

[@not_in_the_know]

❤❤

[@Gandalf6]

Please don't tint the windows! take the mud guards off

[@xiiifas2968]

Engine swap

[@davidcooks5265]

And i don't think leaving it under a tree/bush is a good idea 🤔

[@ameliaautomotive]

I know it needs a cover really. Can’t part it anywhere else unfortunately!

Sell It To Me
