I have been recommissioning a tin top Mk1 GTI so a lot of the things you have experienced with this i have too. the rotary switch in the dash for the blower will probably be knackered, mine was melted when i investigated why it wasn't working. As you will have found a lot of the wiring is thought switched at high current unlike the modern stuff that relays everything, so electrics always seem to be a problem. id say your about right on price, the convertibles are cheaper than the tin tops, that one looks good underneath which for someone who doesn't have a ramp etc is a good starting point for a running restoration fixer upper.

[@glennlambert5112]

Don't inhale those Christmas decorations. You'll get tinsellitus.😁

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris. Good video and I think the right decision. You guys are running a business so these decisions have to be made. Someone is getting a good solid car to fully restore. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@carlstevens3850]

My heart says carry on and make it all perfect as always BUT, my head is in the same place and you both have just created a perfect rolling restoration project for the new owners. Never apologise guys, I’d watch you both putting the bins out😘

[@leemelville2977]

Channel keeps getting better and better with content and explanations top guys deserve more followers 👌

[@stephenricketts7764]

I totally agree with your decision Gents. That car as you say has been sat outside for almost a year. I remember it was covered in snow soon after you got it so it's been exposed to the elements. I think it will be a nice project for someone to finish over the winter ready for the show season next year. I have enjoyed the videos on this project very much. Most of it is old school mechanics which is right up my street! Thanks again Rob and Chris for the video. 👍👍

[@davidminns9799]

So glad you guys are keeping it original 👍 it looks fantastic underneath. Like many of your subscribers how I would love to own this car! Another great video from the best 2 guy's in the business. Keep them coming 😀👍

[@richardbrown74]

We all need a mate like Chris . Top man . With a wealth of talent

[@matthewwebber3982]

Great job rob and Chris. Great to see such a great car go back on the road

[@tonylawlor4721]

nice job rob and chris, another one to be proud of

[@josephoshaughnessy7571]

That’s going to be a lovely car when it’s finished & to be fair I think someone going to have an easy enough job to finish it…you lads have done a great job on the underside of it & Considering everything you have done I think it’s very fairly priced for what it is so well done again you’re two really good lads keep doing what you do best 👍😊

[@tomjohntig]

Good winter project for a enthusiast. Few weeks work and a few £££s spent it should bring good money next May/ June when the sun returns. Thanks for the video Rob and Chris. Tom

[@chriswilkes4350]

Very much enjoyed this one, Rob. Thank you.

[@niceone6blue]

Yay, the Golf gets some love!

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris yet again a great video thankyou take care both 😀🙂

[@davidhughes1634]

Rob & Chris, you have done a lot of the hard work espcially on the undernearth, worth the money.

[@skodakatie7341]

This is one really cool car. it will make an excellent project, then once it’s complete, a very usable and iconic classic Volkswagen for someone to enjoy❤️.

[@bretthale9290]

Deffo right decision,ur making profit & someone gets a nice project with alot of the hard work done,great content guys

[@md-detailing]

Love that its going to be restored Rob,great video as always :D

[@FordMatt647]

Another great video guys loving all the different content keep up the great work

[@andrewwilson1118]

Right choice let someone else show it some love it must be something someone would love 👍👍👍

[@danieleaton1399]

Great vid guys good to see this again , have a bloke at work that's just been given one like this with white roof , leather and carpet that's been sitting 20 years and the bloke that owned it before painted it pink for his gf

[@jbillingham68]

I'm sure that will go for what your going to ask for it as you don't see many of them on the road now days plus it can only go up in value in time so somebody will get a nice car as its not a rot box and its a proper solid car can't wait to see more guys keep them coming 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

[@michaelkeen5010]

Love the GTI convertible, it will make a great project for someone as it’s such a sound car. Another great video guys. 👍

[@martinlacey1975]

You've done all the hard work on the car think it is well worth £4k as even a novice could finish the car and it would be a really nice one once again well done guys

[@bedclintred]

Here is your chance to grab a classic guys, get it while you can. Nice one Rob & Chris. 👍😁

[@grahamcroome2109]

Said it before but worth reiterating....you guys work so well together and do an amazing job...keep up the good video's.

[@benevans3733]

You both work so very hard well done to both of you

[@davidcurran6164]

Great episode as always guys. Hope you get a good profit on this. Keep up the great work & many thanks.

[@emk4086]

Great project for someone all the hard work is done no need for a ramp to finish it

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening guys. Great decision on the VW golf convertible 👍🏻 Your channel is about salvage rebuilds and not full restoration projects. Like you said it takes too long and a lot of time and patience for a full restoration projects 😀 But what you’ve both achieved with the golf is a perfect start for someone else to complete 👍🏻 Great content as always cheers Stevie 😎

[@westernmonitor]

First off its another classic saved. The work Rob and Chris did on the Golf will mean its an attractive starting point. I would get it painted and enjoy it , an everyday usable car in my opinion.

[@martinsylvester1823]

Love it when you do the retro stuff, you guys must work so hard to knock out so many vids (respect). Sometimes wish Chris was miked up so we could hear him a bit better.

[@haydenuk02]

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@garysmith2845]

Can’t blame you for letting it go as is, good project for someone else and a tidy little profit in it 👍🏻

[@nevillemorley5926]

Great video . A nice project for someone. Glad you are to move it on. You did a good job underneath.

[@generalt1090]

Great job and great price. As someone else said , all the hard works done !!

[@1mic3]

Rain noise ?? I thought you’d left the vacuum running!! 😂😂😂 great video as always lads 👍👍👍

[@leighcarnally6815]

And your videos get better and better

[@TW-abc]

Can't argue with anything you've said in this one Rob, you've done your bit, now it's someone else's turn and there's some profit in there for you. Cheers

[@angry7518]

Rob the waxoil in the arches is the stuff applied at the factory. Mk1 Golf Cabs are generally very solid underneath. Good job, looking forward to the completed car.

[@tomhicks0588]

Nice one guys good to see it again. It will be a great little earner

[@stehaughton5074]

Love the old Golfs,Crackin Start For Someone 👍👍

[@leighcarnally6815]

Been waiting for this job. Gutted you’re not sorting it out, but fully understand. Love these cars. I had a mark 1 GTi in 1989. Loved it. Great job on what you’ve done. And yes those wheels are awful. Stay safe boys 🍺🍺🍺

[@nickhoward9343]

Thanks lads

[@markbanks239]

Well done guys great vid love it as per usual stay safe thanks boys

[@benevans3733]

Hope you both had a good weekend

[@anthonythomas9456]

I love the older unusual stuff Rob and chris

[@sammytheseal2307]

You've got it going which is the main thing, and as you say made it a usable rolling restoration. Sometimes it is just best to leave the rest for someone to leave their own mark on it especially as its not a keeper. Top work guys! Have a good evening, "see you" on Friday 😁

[@volkswagonaudiuk]

Yes I agree, £4`000 is spot on for a solid Mk1 Cad project with 70% of work done good on you guys for moving it on .....................

[@josephmccullough207]

Definitely a good move to move the Golf on. Glad you haven't forgot the LSE Landy hope you make a start soon.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob,great work on the Golf GTI,the whole car underneath is clean with the waxoyl done .

[@kenlizzio7096]

Will definitely be a great running restoration for someone. Would have liked to have seen it fully restored, but sure the new owner will do it proud.

[@motorvidz101]

Merry Christmas lads. Another cracking video.

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Loving on the classics cars you keep getting mate.

[@alexandermcalpine4691]

Nice project for someone over the winter months 👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Cracking video, very sensible thing to do with the Golf - somebody will get a brilliant running / driving restoration project there.

[@happyknightinternationalma116]

Sad to see it go before it’s finished. I was looking forward to Chris sorting through the bodywork repairs. Too many escorts 😁😁😁😁. Underneath looks blooming marvellous, nice job. Although I think there should be plastic front wheel arch liners???? To protect the paint I would have retreated the wax oil coating that was removed . Most vw’s were rust prevention treated at the factory, hence why the underside is in good condition for its age. There’s still so much work to do on this vw, but understand the time issue for finishing projects. Thanks for going as far as you have… inwards and upwards 👍🏻

[@Swifty800]

The underneath looks like new.. can't wait to see it finished 🙂

[@marksmithard7801]

Great cars, think taking it this far is the right thing otherwise money runs away Great video both 👍

[@bigmike3443]

Cracking video as always guys, followed this project from the beginning and its probably your fault I've now got one sat in my garage gathering dust haha

[@anthonycunliffe]

Never seen a car that year so solid underneath.With a new roof ,and poss driving seat.And some paint etc,plus the cam belt supplied.Going to be a lovely classic motor for someone to cherish.And to be honest if i had room i would buy it,no probs at that price.Going up in value ,nice 1 gents

[@johnmontgomery634]

Will you get that lass to give it a clean up like you did last time????

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Nice to see you working on the old VW again lads. 👍😀

[@kevinthomas1259]

A great desicsion on the golf, you have both done such a good job underneath and it will make a great project for a golf enthusiast. You have to look at what's in your yard and how long it would take to get to it, so definitely the right time to let it go.

[@aljanat5375]

Rob that is a really beautiful car. Glad to see it be taken care of and improved, also Chris looks rather dashing in that body warmer. Good to see you both earn your keep and work on a modern classic. I can not wait to watch your Range Rover Sport videos. Best of luck mate :-)

[@nekite1]

I like the fact that you prefer to keep it original. My nephew is a VW nut, but he likes to "slam" them, so I'm not going to tell him about this car! I hope whoever gets the car will do it justice. Another great video!

[@jeffshaw4553]

Lovley little project for some one forgot how clean underneath the gti was most of the main bulk of it is done I get why you want to move it on well done both of you what tidy little motor that be for some one 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@kevat310]

Great vid, guys!!

[@Moth11]

Love these old golfs didn’t realise you had one on the channel

[@andrewsharp4753]

Great vid as always guys love your content,please do the ST fiesta it's killing me 😄

[@matthewgodfrey5292]

Makes complete sense. Great that its got a year's ticket. Whoever buys that is getting a great motor.

[@neilhadfield6370]

Great video guys as usual

[@mrmawson2438]

Looks beautiful

[@MediocreHero66]

Got a mk1 gti clipper and mk1 gti tin top both fully resto'd in the family, sent the video to my dad trying to convince him to do another one haha! Nice that it will no longer be sat outside, £4k is very reasonable!

[@remenisionz]

You’ve made the right decision guys. There is no point keeping hold of the car if you’re already committed to other projects. You’ve done a smashing job thus far on it. Never really liked these old VW cabriolets but definitely respect the work gone into it! Look forward to seeing the next disaster currently sitting on the truck! 😂

[@benevans3733]

Another brilliant video again as always

[@ianomachino6233]

Cheers lads 🍻

[@patrickcorrigan6141]

Great stuff guys!!

[@johnrowell942]

Nice project for someone. Hope it makes in to some shows next summer

[@kevinjones1840]

Nice to see your hooter still works Rob. 😁😁😁

[@IanFarmer]

I love these wheels 😎

[@andyspencer1010]

Perfect summer car for the ladies nice one chaps 👌👌👌

[@a11csc]

this will soon be someones pride and joy

[@alexmanning889]

Well done. Comment for the support 👊

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, good idea to move it on. Cheers, Alex.

[@d.c.Jones70]

Great vid as usual thats a good project for someone and I think the Fittipaldi alloys are quite desirable also the centres are still available so worth keeping.

[@martindaredare]

Nicely done rob sounds like a good plan, good looking car.

[@frededwards9124]

Great looking car def worth the money. I think the word you were looking for at 12:00 was "serendipity" 😎

[@kittinsconkers]

make room for the next one!! good job boys!!

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Body warmer looks good rob hope you’re keeping it as clean as the underneath of the golf, Good finishing project for someone who likes golfs,

[@benevans3733]

Yes agree with you about the price

[@T8RTU]

Someone will get a great head start on their project thanks to you guys…. Just wish we could see you guys complete the work to the high standards we know you for, even if I completely understand the why and wherefore 😎👍✅✅✅

[@bear1245]

I’m not ready to let this one go Chris!! A guy near me has a minter one of these. I think this is a fair place to leave it. I would like to see the clean up of it. Paint came up better than I thought.

[@laurahhead7422]

Great stuff guys 👍

[@andy_v4443]

Great video guys 👍👍 Be a nice project for someone 👍👍👍

[@TANOSHII1]

4k with coil overs , timing belt etc,etc all included is a steal considering it's a cult classic. If I'm honest I think you're under pricing this little beaut' and should put it out as 'best offer' and get surprised

[@benevans3733]

Looking forward to watching your next video on Friday when it comes out on Friday evening

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Not the best time of year to sell a soft top but appreciate the sense of moving it on rather than having to leave it outside. A lot of the Golf cabrios on sale at the moment have been "customised" hence more difficult to sell so £4k sounds a very reasonable punt since most people want originality.

[@crazypaulrobinson922]

Cheers for the video 👍👍😊😊
