The Junkyard VR5 Golf Savoy Goes To America! : Build Finale ( Alpine Volks Fair 2021 )

Had to keep this a big secret from you guys but it was totally worth it! Still cant believe it all came together and we pulled this off. Massive thank you to everyone who was a part of making this happen. @FablessManufacturing for the engine mounts and other parts, @Eurokraftperformance for the wiring harness, @mr_procharger for helping finish the car and trailering it down to helen, and of course my wife for the months of help working on the car and constant support!
Hope you guys enjoy this long video of the entire trip. Thought itd be a nice way to end of the Savoy chapter on the channel.

Finally, after such a very long time. Then boom a whole 🎥 movie

[@guslima340]

The 56 minutes video was so worth it taking the time to watch! Start the 1.8t pink floyd!

[@JakeRawSon]

That MK3 purple variant is gorgeous. I'm only half way through this video and I cant stop thinking about it lol

[@nickberry4005]

It’s for sale lol

[@GotDub1]

I woke up every morning and see the car out from my balcony!! Love it in person!

[@charltonmoore452]

That Schroth intake manifold on the purple wagon is such a nice piece!!

[@Fatlace24]

Dude that was a realy good video ! And the savoy looks sooooo good! Thank you bro !

[@andrespalacioscross]

I literally burst into tears when in front of Greg you said, just like old times! Wonderful experience that can only be achieved with a lot of will, a family that supports you and a lot of passion for cars. Congratulations and greetings from Argentina! Did you meet Jamie Orr in Helen?

[@ary5092]

Existen VR5 en Argentina?

[@andrespalacioscross]

@@ary5092 Hasta donde yo se no. Con suerte te cruzás un VR6 y es porque vino en algún Golf MK3 importado o en algún Audi o Porsche.

[@ary5092]

@@andrespalacioscross claro, recuerdo que el dueño de un restaurante cerca de la universidad tenia un Jetta VR6, lastima que nunca lo pude escuchar

[@andrespalacioscross]

@@ary5092 acá lo más cerca que escuche fue la Caddy VR6 que armó Chiappone. Pero estamos a años luz, sueño con ir una día de shopping a un desarmadero como los de Europa o USA.

[@matthewyuknek8771]

Nice meeting you my dude! I didn't realize all that went into that car, wish I had know. - Yuk with the mk3 Cup GTI

[@steve74wilson]

Fantastic to see a scrap car shown some love, reborn & sent over to the US !!! Love your enthusiasm for cars, and great production of the video ! Here in the UK Mk3 are getting less and less by the day :(

[@Whatshouldicallit660]

This is so crazy! Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the first story on your IG from Helen! And oh man what a great video! I just have to get a Volkswagen again at some point... hopefully wörthersee is happening so you can have the european experience aswell 🤩

[@puntomk1uk64]

Blows my mind to think that cars from the UK where I live , and of course Germany end up in the US!

[@stephenriley5448]

Going to miss the Savoy. Great build & looking forward to what you do with the Pink Floyd.

[@Albert87nl]
