Satisfying cleaning - "Barnfind" low mile VW Golf mk3 - stood neglected for 4 years

While this isn't strictly a barn find, it has been off the road and left in the elements for the past 4 years. Watch as the jet wash satisfyingly cleans years of moss, algae and mould off!
This car is undergoing a restoration ready for its sale in early 2021.

With such faded (therefore rough surfaced) paint the probability of blasting it off is quite high. I think that's why he started using some chemical after the first bit.

[@muff72mz]

@@ChrisTheCarBuilder My English is "google translater" excuse me, yes I think the 1.6l has tilted the engine forwards and the 1.8l with 75PS has tilted the engine backwards. The exhaust also looks like 1.6l, the 1.8l with 75PS has the exhaust bent down at the end. The 1.8l is more durable, needs a little more gasoline.

@@ChrisTheCarBuilder are youplaning to remove the implant in the future? Mine gets really sore when i overuse it. Its been almost 4months post op.

[@ChrisTheCarBuilder]

@@halamanmahiwaga2063 no mate it's been in too long now so the bone has grown around it, it'd be very painful to remove. I'm fine with it being there. You'll get there mate, loads of flexibility training is key and don't go mad with weight. Mine wasn't "good" until over a year after and it still has minor issues now 4+ years later but you get completely used to working around it. If you do want the plates removed you have 2 years from surgery to have it done else it calcifies

@@ChrisTheCarBuilder I had a peek at the mot history. 'Just' needs a new exhaust, steering column and bearing, and fix some oil leaks. I imagine the brakes are now a bit iffy. How much are they worth? MK3's seem to have some value now. It would make good watching for you to polish and fix it up for a sale - assuming it's not been scrapped.
