RWD V8 MK3 Golf GOES WIDE! | Pt 2 | Built by Mike | ECS Tuning

[@WBWWOODBYWOOD]

The quality of this show is better then show’s I’ve watched on discovery. Great video production. I like that you keep the videos on task.

[@ecstuning]

Wow, thanks!

[@alejandrobavassonepotedequ1969]

To be able to mark those types of lines, it is convenient to get the magnets that come inside the weatherstripping of the refrigerator doors !!! You always make sure it is long and you can modify the curve by looking at it and making the most correct shape that seems to you. This is my humble advice !!! Thank you so much !!!

[@matteagle6914]

i really need more of this. now.

[@ecstuning]

More on the way!

[@animal_engineering]

I love youtube for build threads like this.. Really makes it less scary to just get in and have a go at doing a project. love how this is coming along.. looks awesome

[@sionak]

'i really like working on cars and making stuff, there is some stuff that really sucks though' I really relate to this. makes me feel ok about my lack of motivation do some some jobs. it makes it feel ok but reminds me to push though and focus on the end goal.

[@charlesdurand1328]

With all the work that's going in it, I'm sure once it's all said and done, you won't see any flaws, all your second guessing will be gone and it will look awesome! Great work and it's great to have the chance to follow along! Looking forward to part 3!

[@ecstuning]

Thanks for watching and the positive feedback!

[@jakeschauerman9861]

I wish we had a built by mike series for this car from start - finish. watching this guy do fab work is incredible

[@ecstuning]

New Built by Mike coming in June!

[@deanlambert8758]

big fan of the move with the trailer fender usage as your new fender lining - that shit alone got me hooked on this. instead of the cutting up/fold/weld that you see every other thing done. Keep up the work bro - this is awesome.

[@kevinmcconachie6075]

When this is done it’s gonna go down in history

[@ecstuning]

If you didn't see part 1 of this build, check it out: bit.ly/3iMNxxa

[@animal_engineering]

Seen and really like the build,

[@TomSee]

deserves more love - very much enjoy the raw nature of the filming and hearing the thought process behind everything.

[@ecstuning]

Glad you like it!

[@kieranbonnie7729]

Favourite build to follow on KZbin at the moment. Couldn’t get any better seeing the hardship a proper project goes through. All I keep thinking with this shape though is Lancia Delta Integrale.

[@ecstuning]

Glad you can relate!

[@twainjones]

The skills on this guy 👍👍👍 So interesting to watch the process

[@kevinkev1530]

Back looks fire, glad to see ur thinking so hard on it

[@yousefalaqsam1720]

I wish i had my car‘s roll cage made by this guy

[@edisonarabia-meyer7777]

awesome vid can’t wait for pt3. he should do something with the hood. like vents or a scoop

[@joelgonsalez383]

this project is freaking awesome great builder , love the atention to detail , editing of the video is super nice.. subscribed!

[@JuanMartinez-zw4tn]

Mike is like a super hero engineer

[@tomwagemans1872]

Having followed a body working course for a year, I know it is difficult to work with sheet metal. You did a great job for a beginner.

[@Taubenshit]

amazing work dude .... loving the mk3 build

[@martinneteland7545]

The attention to detail`s is just AMAZING!!! WOW!!!

[@MiniMattTV]

So good! I mentioned it on the last video but definitely worth taking a mould from the panels so you can make fibreglass copies

[@nikolas.tesla.]

As i know this is a drift car. Imagine hitting a wall with it 😬 after all this hard work.

[@opelgold333]

simply wow. i hate the original mk3 golf. but you make a freaking peace of art out of it. i love it.

[@ecstuning]

Mike does amazing things!

[@V.LEPPA222]

You just gained a subscriber, the widebody looks absolutely beautiful😀

[@ecstuning]

Thanks dude!

[@aaronfebbo3987]

Really enjoyed seeing the whole process. Glad you guys didn’t make it a quick 10 min video. Really looking forward to the next episode

[@henryrosado1549]

You should use a beat roller to at a radio to the join. That will help to don't look to square.

[@kayleb1109]

I’d say next to the tail light make a vent with some bendy vacuum piping going straight to the rad to suck air through and make a second vent under that that ties the wide fender into the rear bar to suck out pressure in the rear wheel well?

[@wh1zz_b4ng]

This thing is SICK dude!

[@paulstanford3063]

Well done ! The end result looks great . Form and function in equal parts , not always the case with modded bodywork . Make some moulds for future carbon copies?

[@TheRwdyAudi]

Looking good my dude... nice harbor freight pry bar💙😎

[@jamest5149]

Using some 1/2” or inch tube would give you a radius where the panels meet, it can be bent in compound curves to get the S curves you mentioned Great video... subbed.

[@Mardy72]

I just watched and was about to make the same suggestion. Custom car builders and hot rodders have been using that technique since forever. You can even build the basic frame out of tube, get the lines and shapes close to perfect first and then skin it with sheet. Makes it so much easier, gives it better rigidity and a nice radius to the joins 👍

[@mattparkin7224]

Dude this has been such a good watch

[@dubCanuck1]

Rears look really good Mike.

[@vwnay]

So sick keep up the good work killing it 👍

[@xzeke666x]

the best way to try to do something like this is by using cardbord and tejp first and then when you are happy with the look you use the cardbord to cut it out what you need in plate. saves alot of hassle.

[@ToRoCars]

Awesome work!

[@mustafadogramac6076]

You are making great job.

[@ecstuning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheBodiy]

Amazing Work!!!

[@ecstuning]

Thanks a lot!

[@juliuswischer6429]

can´t wait for part 3

[@ecstuning]

Hell yea! Working on it now!

[@NCNTT]

did you build it in foam first? I dont know but it should help find the form before you weld the whole side =) Nice video really liked it! ^^

[@wagztv]

holy fuck you're a legend. prob the only video i've watched fully until the end. nice work dude

[@ecstuning]

Truth.

[@shona5512]

1:20.. Yep that's definitely a MK3 Golf

[@nedmano]

He should have started with a MK2 it is more boxy in the beginning :D. Great episode

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Why ruin a perfectly good mk2? Mk3 is fine for butchery.

[@emanh4keem_san420]

From what I see,the rear fender looks fine just need a little bit fix and I think about the TOMICA R31 super silloute where they remove the taillights even wider so like its flush with the rear fenders just like its from factory looking...man I cant tell really well cuz Im not at your place tho😅😅aka OEM plus overfenders

[@b5stalker425]

Great work DUDE!!!! Do Andy's AUDI A4 B5 next

[@ecstuning]

Dude, that would be sweet. Great idea!

[@marquizmalaris5152]

NICE PROJECT!!! Where can I get these "blocks" the car is placed on?

[@juliangarcia4103]

Anyone know where he got the panels from? I've been looking for some to replace certain lower areas on my mark 3

[@patinaautosalon]

I feel like you should relocate the fuel door to above the fender just extended your hoses to your tank. I mean it's gunna be some work but it would give you room in your wheel well and everything.

[@patinaautosalon]

Just got to the point were you say you don't have the gas door anymore.

[@ecstuning]

He put in a fuel cell when it was transformed into a drift car!

[@jaymwm844]

Was this ever finished?

[@bl00dh4nd5]

I the words of Kei Miura "cut, cut, cut"

[@Mustardmartin]

I would just have like 8 huge posters of an Audi s4 Quattro the groub B one that walter rohl drove up pikes peak that one whatever audi that is i would have 10 huge posters from diffrent angles and just try and copy what you like feom that i get those are probably fiberglass but just being able to have something to look at and gain inspiration from would help a lot with all the back and forth nonsense kudos for doing this and im sure your learning but this is painful to watch just stare at some posters that you like and do your best to copy something would have been way easier being that this is your first foyer making huge flares. Now you guys should call your selves ECS Body Shop & Tuning ! ;)

[@petyyras1]

you're forgetting to stand back. sit back drink a beer and stare at the car :D

[@emanh4keem_san420]

Nakai san style

[@MrTheHillfolk]

One of my friends in Colorado said they do something else while they stand back and look at the car. Whatever floats yer boat😁

Anyone else think this fella fresh out of District 9?

[@kvinson1533]

Mike is just like building a unique build and fantastic welds mike : I spent hours cutting and welding anddd i hate it.

[@EricShell]

YESSSSSSS

[@wickedsnake8032]

Take a look at Seat ibiza kit car and try to take that designed it is similar to yours

[@MorbidEmpireRD]

Check out this wide body kit made by Rieger for Golf MK3. I think it could be nice reference. Pic of the wide body - bit.ly/2ZSNR51

[@Nickdrivesatnight]

C’mon Mike, keep it simple I’m estimating you’ll be done wit this project before this late Fall, early winter

[@ecstuning]

Mike just might prove you wrong 👀. Stay tuned!

[@shona5512]

I think you're forgetting how quickly he built this entire car on his own. Mike moves real quick once he's got it figured out.

[@Nickdrivesatnight]

Shona this is my first video I seen of Mike’s car, I have high expectations of him.. That’s all

[@monstersquaddd]

Please tell me you guys are gonna make molds and sell these as a kit 🤞🏻

[@ecstuning]

Interesting idea....

[@JafardaLT]

Then Mike will be done with doing he 's own bodykit he should make fiberglass replicas to make he's life easier

[@ADSImagens]

Now u know why designers do it in clay, cause is easier to shape. I would seriously recommend to do this in a 3D model at least, before start doing metal work.

[@ADSImagens]

Btw, I work with 3DS Max. If there’s anything that I could help with let me know.

[@Robertas_Grigas]

when you measure your wheel spacers in feet

[@jbearmcdougall1646]

So episode 4..?

[@Mk3addicts]

do as you want with metal, shape as much as you can then when you done take the mold with fiber glass..

[@a914freak]

Shouldn't you be making TWO of everything that way you can do the other side and they both look the same? I didn't see you making any templates.

[@ziza1492]

I want to do this on my mk2

[@MrTheHillfolk]

If it's in decent shape you're better off finding a mk3

[@ziza1492]

@@MrTheHillfolk in my country mk2 kost around 250 dollars

Get yourself an English Wheel! You will thank me later.

"I don't want difficulty the reason I don't do it". Well said. If only more people building cars felt this way. Stolen.

[@ecstuning]

If only more people in their daily life felt this way.

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

ECS Tuning one of the things I love about your videos is we get to see the full creative process as well as 'mistakes' made along the way as you move towards your final vision. A lot of content out there is heavily edited to only show finished or nearlly finished fabrication. I enjoy the longer videos with you discussing ideas amongst your peers and then the execution. Awesome content 👍

[@apoplexic23]

Unneccessary extra weight?

[@RumbleGarage]

Stumbled across the channel. I build a ton of wide-bodies. Check my channel out. I'm a real steel guy as well. I do make fiberglass kits as well. But, of course prefer my steel. Do you own a english wheel, and bead roller? If so you really should make your own wheel arch. It's not hard. Draw it out, and run it on the bead roller to get the arch. Then use the english wheel to roll out the panel. A long reach shrinker couldn't hurt as well. Best of luck. Looks like your struggling. Hope that helps you go in a better direction instead of compromising with what you have.
