Disaster Barnyard Find | 20th Anniversary VW GTI | First Wash in YEARS! | Car Detailing Restoration

[@gmugrumbach]

Sweet. The Yellow trim was similar to the S4's of the same era. This car must live! Projects to save a car like this aren't about the cost. Logic is well out the window :)

[@stephencooper5040]

Imola Yellow was the name of the Audi color and I’m still in love with it.

Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

what an amazing transformation, love watching you guys, being from the uk, 99% of us learn to drive in manuals (stick) and the majority of us mostly drive manuals, automatics have certainly become a lot more popular now but its very rare to find someone in the uk who cant drive a manual, keep up the outstanding work guys, amazing

[@moccyrich]

[@nathonics]

Jesus is the Messiah and Lord and Savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6- I’m the way, the truth, and the light. NO ONE comes by the Father, EXCEPT though me. Romans 10:9-If you confess with your mouth and your heart that God raised him from the dead, you’ll be saved. Romans 10:13- For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:17- Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Other verses on The Roman Road- 3:23, 5:8, and 6:23. Also, John 3 and Romans 8. John 3 is about salvation, and Romans 8 is the spirit and flesh. Then, read John, Romans, and the rest of the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

You definitely need to restore it! Great car! I learned to drive a stick in a 1986 GTI. I've always loved the boxy body style from the 80's/early 90's GTI.

It has to live, the bodywork and interior were perfect, the mechanics are the simplest. A hug.

[@giomanero2021]

Love your videos guys. First off, I think you should restore the car as it is rather rare. Of course, that depends on how much you want to spend but it is a good-looking car. Yes, I do know how to drive a stick. I actually learned on a yellow Maverick that had the old three on the tree shifter. Again, love your channel and keep up the good work!

I love the Mk4 body style. The 20th Anniversary GTI is a personal fave. If you can fine the correct engine (1.8) with its appropriate computer, the correct wheels, tires and brakes plus any other missing bits and bobs, it would be a great car. Even better - it’s a manual. Too bad it isn’t blue. Much better color that year. Learned to drive a stick when I was 9 or 10 in a 67 beetle! Drove a stick until just a few years ago.

[@Twitch_Moderator]

*I LOVED this GTi the most. It's a shame the owner butchered it. The 2.8L VR6 staggered inline 6 was FAST and fun. I drove one for a while. 6-speed manual. My absolute favorite car ever!!*

[@dayne6221]

One of the front seats is probably from a 337 edition GTI, hence the different stitching. You can pick up used AWP 1.8T engines for under $500. I would fix the car up and then flip it or keep it. Depending on condition and mileage you could fetch 10k + for the car in the end.

[@surlycrosscheck1]

I owned and drove a Golf GTI for 12 years straight but was forced to sell once my second child was coming along. I was devastated to see it go (I still miss that car dearly). It was a dream car of mine forever and purchased mine new off the showroom floor. It was my baby before my “real” babies came along. My vote is to restore this thing without question. Find a set of original style rims also. They are a great looking wheel. I know they were found on the Golf R’s at the time so they’re out there. Slap a VR6 in this thing and rip it. I’d love to get another GTI someday.

[@dhadley2061]

Gotta love how a proper GTI drives. I've had a few VW's.. '85 Scirocco, '86 GTI, '95 Golf Sport, '95 GTI VR6 , and a '03 GLI VR6. Haven't driven a stick since I sold my '04 Audi S4 in 2015.. Will have to get an older fun car soon! Enjoy your content, keep it up!

[@mattpipes5106]

What a sweet GTI… I can’t believe they painted the trim black… at least they seemed to have done a good job masking. The car I learned to drive in was a 1979 Diesel Volkswagen Dasher with a manual transmission, and I love a row your own Dub! I hope we get to see updates on this project… Are you going to put a new engine in it?

I have a couple questions. 1) when you were doing the top and it was really funk at around 5:40ish do you check the rain rails after to see if anything gunked em up? I don't think ever have before myself. 2) not a question but - VR6 swap it. it'll be perfection. 3) this are always enjoyable.

The VW 1.8T 20V engines that these came with are great. Modified versions of them were even used in Formula 2 cars from 2009 to 2012 and produced 450hp in qualifying spec. The GTi Anniversary Edition also had a bit bigger turbo and produced about 30hp more than the standard GTi.

[@rastraman]

I think it looks better with the yellow stripes and different wheels, not even the factory ones. RPF1's looks very good on these cars. If you want to put it back on the road it all depends on what you got along with the car, good usable engine, turbo and other parts. If you don't have the majority of the parts then it might not be worth it because those parts are pretty expensive, my 2 cents. Good luck with it :)

Finding a transmission will likely be more difficult than an engine, both can be had without spending a fortune though I'm sure. The car would be a bit of a labor of love, but it could be a great way to start a new series and use the proceeds to help pay for parts costs. If the chassis is rust free, the value of this car will be on the rise soon.
