What would it cost me to do my gti 4 or 500 hp

[@ShenJanuMenu]

Yesssss❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mopesone1]

I have a new 2024 golf r and live nearby lmk if you guys wanna get after it 🎉

[@derekgreen1348]

Don’t put stock rotor and brakes back on it. Get a spindle from a 2002 s10 blazer it’s got wheel bearing hubs instead of the old style. It’s a direct bolt on. Y’all have them on your website.

[@overtonesnteatime198]

clever

[@dreamspeedperf]

You know they are gonna get some crazy sponsored wilwood or something

[@wavynas7951]

I wholeheartedly agree with this!!

[@jayare4472]

The Oldsmobile Bravada has the same type of spindle hub assembly

[@Thatrandomguy326]

OHHH YESSSS… BRING BACK ALL THE CLASSICS

[@keithadoodle]

I've commented a few times that a restomod project would be perfect for this channel, some American muscle from the 60s-70s with modern comforts would be amazing to see. Out of all the people out there I think this group, especially with their list of contacts could do it the best.

[@LhYnxz]

After that build, Typhoon and Syclone build for the trio

[@jonherdman6282]

Alex at Legit Street Cars is already on top of it.

[@kristoffermangila]

​@@jonherdman6282Alex is looking for a Scyclone...

[@jamesbaker6003]

I was really looking forward to an updated OEM plus build

[@brianhendrickson7166]

Same Its a cool car for sure but I’m disappointed they didn’t improve brakes, suspension, spark, fueling, or cooling to modern oem+

[@organicod2438]

Ricky and Quinn are the dream team. Good on ya, lads!

[@keithadoodle]

They are like a buddy cop movie that keeps getting better.

[@c0lutch]

My dad bought an 87 GN brand new with the t-tops and brought it home with a bow on it for mom. She was scared of driving it. I have so many fond memories from my childhood of him spinning the tires and watching the boost gauge on the dash. They eventually sold it in the early 90s but it’s still one of my favorite cars. Dad passed away last year unfortunately but I know he’d love to watch this rebuild with me

[@BuckingBuffBuck]

crazy that Quinn was just talking about a grand national to build, keep it up boys love to see it!

[@smokeymcpot851]

Love to see how comfortable & confident Quinn has gotten with these builds. This is the result of having a great group of guys who love & believe in each other. You guys kick ass

[@Locutus_TV]

Would love to see a full custom rebuild on this iconic car!

[@j.moneyfilms]

The 80s supercar killer💪🏽 this is gonna be a great series

[@lungilekhambule4449]

As a south African fan of this channel, I am so looking forward to learning how to work on my first car and have it be my personality. Dreams can become reality and this channel makes it seem possible

[@CameronSwartz-cm7ni]

Same here I'm from South Africa as well, can't wait to work on my first car

[@jerrydino1310]

Bro we're here. It's so satisfying

[@yaboi6801]

Ay man... Jesus loves you. Hope your first car turns out alright!

[@MorneSteenberg-t3q]

So cool to see fellow SAFFAS here , I'm currently busy with my first car and yes it's a Mk1 Golf 😂😂😂

[@speedy-xg4ui]

Hell yeah i though im the only south african here watching there videos

[@davidkenimer9580]

Love this! I drove an '84 T-type in highschool! I sold it in 2003

[@racerx2084]

Micky had the best line in this episode. Have to watch the budget of the builds. Lol, you guys always throw the whole catalog at the builds.

[@joeethereal2968]

FINALLY! A REAL AMERICAN HERO & CERTIFIED CLASSIC.

[@SwitLife23]

YES YES YES!! Finally!!! Would love to see you guys update those rear brakes to discs but love it guys!

[@renstephenh]

if its one thing I love the most is that the rusty parts are gonna get cleaned and refreshed. That makes all the difference! Throtl team is the best! 😄🤘🤘💪

[@born2unbox611]

Best car ever on the channel my opinion of course. I think you guys should gift this GN to Ricky

[@nismopapo]

I literally was in tears watching this video. My first car was an ‘81 Regal when I turned 18. My mom gifted it to me to go to college. It was in a decent shape until I got an accident and I lost it 😢. It was so special to me cause my mom gave it to me and was the only transportation she got to work and she just sacrificed herself to gave me the opportunity to go to the college and had a job. So when I saw for the first time the GN I just got in love with it and since then became my DREAM CAR ❤ Thanks you guys for appreciating such a wonderful peace of engineering art. Hope who ever got this beauty take good care of it. 😌

[@yungblnt8799]

This car is so beautiful I’m glad you guys are keeping it simple and clean 😩💯

[@NickyBobby83]

This type of content is perfect. I love this type

[@churchbryan35]

Absolutely Dope!! My mother got an 86' Buick Regal new in 86'. 3.8V6 with 235hp....I was 11yrs old in 86'...in 87' when the Buick Grand National hit the magazine covers...I was in love..lol My mother hit a deer and totaled it by 88'....there were three of us, best of friends senior year of high school...my buddy Corbin had a 86' Ford Thunderbird coupe..it was a turbo car, gone bad he had gotten a good deal on, so him and his father put a 351 Cleveland, Blue racing Cam, 3 speed with a B&M shif kit....spent alot of time in that car....lol My other buddy Paul, had a 1987 Buick Grand National GNX, it's a wonder we're still alive, and still good friends to this day...lol an Amazing car! He sold it to a used car lot, after 3 yrs of owning it to move a couple states away one summer to get to know his birth father...who ran a Harley Davidson shop...a bought him a bike, and was back after 15 months....lol Myself, I had a 1979 Monte Carlo SS with a 454..all the bells and whistles ....myself and Corbin hadn't gotten around to paint jobs, and interior...we were more motor guys, Paul's was always clean as a whistle. . Lol I'd give anything to relive a couple summer nights, all three of us in a row just gettn it,, out state route road headed to the strip mines,.....maybe one of these days, I'll have me another car to work on...I'm a single father of a 16yr old girl, and she wants my old truck an 2005 Ford F-150 xlt 5.4L 3v...if you know, you know...I've got a timing job to do, that's as much wrench turning I get to do anymore...My grandfather was a mechanic, my father was a mechanic, and if I had half a brain, I'd be a mechanic...I grew up in garage, raised on exhaust fumes...lol✌️

[@BigBoyKay]

yo quinn i know you probably wont see this but you are the best part about this channel i dont know what it is but i wont watch a vid unless you are in it you are just so chill and cool i feel like we would be best friends but keep it up man and please stay in the vids 😅😂

[@MauricioBarragan]

That burnout was sickkkk

[@puertoricantv9205]

I love that you guys were talking about having a grand national and making it a project. My uncle has a 1987 Grand national turbo t and seeing this makes me go back to when he would work on it a lot!

[@ithinkweregoingtoneedabigg8525]

These come in and out of my dad’s shop all the time. Ghetto in Long Beach haha. These are so gnarly. Check for stash boxes, I’ve found 8 balls, guns, all sorts of hood classics

[@jacobasuncion3132]

Damm that’s crazy I could imagine what story’s those cars could tell 😅

[@eduardorivera7723]

most of them you see in la and long beach are in bad condition tho

[@jacobasuncion3132]

@@eduardorivera7723 I mean yes and no cause I sometimes still see all original and restomod Grand Nationals

[@niiingastar]

That’s one of my all time favorites. So innovative for the time. And one of the coolest looking cars out there. Especially since at the end of the day it’s a Buick regal.

[@gbodytoys]

Always happy to see a G-Body back on the road. Stock, I agree that most G-Bodies aren't the most impressive cars, but thankfully people have been modding these cars to do everything for almost 40 years. Add that to the fact that a significant amount of companies offer aftermarket support, it really is the most diverse automotive platform ever.

[@ralphsimone8308]

YEESS, please I been begging to see an old camaro. so much potential...

[@Pikiny]

This is my favorite episode so far guys good job! You guys should do some vlogs I think it will expand the channel.

[@sjorsdw]

That's a series worth following. More restaurations! 🎉

[@garybrewer6218]

Totally jealous! The grand national was the one car I've only sat in from the 80s. Wish there was one I could drive just once. Such an icon. Y'all are lucky!

[@fgj8379]

Its great to see you guys work and bring one of these back to life! It would be cool to see it get some more engine upgrades, maybe a little more boost and see you take it to the strip. Keep up the great work!

[@martinmartinez5498]

Rickies reaction was exactly mine! Super stoked!

[@chads7796]

LETS GOOOOO!!!! Sometimes you don't know what you want until you see it. This is sick! I would love to see you guys do a Datsun 280z.

[@Markhartman14]

Oh HELL yes! Gimme all the Grand National content

[@kyleziebell227]

Hell yes. One of the best cars of all time!!!

[@nikotinoco9474]

It's literally one of my favorite videos from you guys. Thanks, I'd like to see some more mixing it up other than just JDM cars. Maybe a 1st gen Toyota 4runner... manual 22r or 22re.... super easy motor and I know you can flip it for profits

[@htownjuan6055]

Man this takes me back.!My first car was a 1983 Buick Regal coupe. Bought it for 650$. Made it into a lowrider in 1993 my freshman year of highschool.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Absolutely love the Grand National. Restore and enjoy.

[@jamesappello386]

Hell yeah! Now to get you guys on my ‘02 Dakota Sport 4.7!

[@Civicsi2017]

My dad had one growing up, I’ll never forget it!

[@MrAschroeder1]

The boys at Throtl expand their portfolio of amazing cars even further. Nice work, everyone. That car is a monster!

[@austingrist9737]

Finally! You guys picked up an oldy and a classic at that. I’m so happy to see this. Please pick up another classic car to work on

[@bronx87gn1]

Happy to see your grand national on your channel. I own an 87 grand national you need to change the rear tips exhaust can wait for the upgrade. You guys do great work keep up the good work from Bronx, New York. 🇵🇷💯

[@whitewalker57]

I’m a Gen X’r. This was a dream car right here. Good call Evan! Love it!!!

[@RastaBIasta]

Please do an OEM + build with gold Rotiform LHR's and black mica metallic body.

[@GH-dn4vv]

Would LOVE to see some restomods from the boys on cars like these! Get SOS customs to do like a real nice dark brown leather reupholster on the interior, tighten up the suspension, brakes, new headlights etc and make it the SICKEST daily!

[@evanbauska9245]

I started watching your channel last weekend and I absolutely fell in love with everything you do. I’ve have watched all the fast and furious builds. Keep up all the great work #throtl

[@TheGadget14]

I love how everyone is getting to drive it. I cannot wait to see what this turns into.

[@lewishayward994]

I know it was for the ad, but I’d love to see the work that goes on behind the scenes in planning these cars. I want to see how mickeys mind works.

[@Gilligan909]

BEST CAR YOU GUYS HAVE EVER HAD ON THE CHANNEL!

[@richardfarmer6570]

Almost 40 years later and that is still such a cool car, great video.

[@gabeasher187]

The enjoyment coming from the crew. Love it.

[@jamesmoss8312]

I had an 86 without t-tops as my first car and I miss it so much. I've told my family that if I am ever in a position that I could have any car again that I have ever had it would definitely be an 86 grand national.

[@Gordo101978]

Now I can put two and two together, you guys saw the build of the Grand National at Sema and now you guys are going to build one

[@johnnyfish8273]

That is one of my dream cars. I was 17 in 87, and instantly fell in love with them. Almost bought one a few years ago, but I didn't want to get divorced....lol.

[@Dj_Divide_official]

Tackle a 1985 sedan front wheel drive Subaru Leone would love to see mine be transformed!!

[@kjpete3]

There's nothing like watching a GNX fly down the quarter mile. This really is a special car!

[@kendrew651]

10:15 thank you for those small details that add knowledge to the content

[@dimitrioskalfopoulos3473]

It seems the interior is from t-type, not a Grand National. I had a 1986 GN with the digital climate controller. Loved that car! Went 12s in the quarter mile back in 1991. Great car.

[@lilguilty]

I can’t believe that some people don’t like the grand national. Such an iconic car. It’s so sick

[@justoduarte7274]

GNX is my dream car, so glad y’all are doing a G-Body. LFG

[@JD-cc3tz]

Sweetest video yet absolutely love it. Now next video we have to modify it slightly do a before and after Dyno let’s gooooooo!!!!

[@KC-ug4zn]

Dude!! That was the most epic build! This is my favorite car of all time! Yes please!

[@verone3784]

Man, once it was cleaned up the body on this thing looks soooo good. Amazing car, absolutely love the noises it makes. Super sick work guys :D

[@laytonsmith712]

This is probably my favorite build yet

[@zacharyrivera3924]

Been waiting for some classic muscle builds for a long time!!

[@r4venheart80]

I wanna see a throtl members classic car build off! Split into teams, give each team a budget, and see who can revive or rebuild the best old car

[@IzEDraGoN]

The moment you hit the gas pedal and automatically puts a smile in your face, that's when you know it's an awesome car 😍😍

[@marioayala2318]

You guys need to do a Old-school AE86 for sure. The Grand National looks so sick, remands me to my Grandpa cars while was a kid.

[@damianlandman7336]

Dude the car fits Mickey really good. I think he should keep it. I can picture him driving it as a daily

[@formandslide]

See the joy of the 80's?! That's whyyy I need the Z31 as the next dream builddddd😬 DB10

[@foxationnation1908]

Honestly I’d love to see some mods like u did with the blue mustang. That thing looked cleeeeeean

[@thepinky9876]

Next you boys need to do a Gen 1 Monte Carlo for the F&F replica car.. but do a 70 with the 72 grill and marker lights.. turn the bumper marker lights into fog lights.. would be so sick

[@chacon719]

this is epic so so so sogood great choice of a beast for starting with musclecars I say, Ricky and Quinn great job really looking forward to an updated OEM plus build

[@leroyperoutyjr.8738]

Everyone wants to see this car tastefully upgraded. Let's see an OEM style brake upgrade, interior refresh, full exhaust, and turbo update. Don't forget wheels and tires. That GN deserves a full update.

[@h0on1g4n3]

Yes boys... this is a mid 80's monster. One of my dream cars, I know you'll do it right.

[@adammiller3178]

I had the privilege to drive one when I was a teenager and to this day I look back on that night as one of my most fun experiences I have ever had behind the wheel of a car.

[@KrazeeeOne]

Honestly, I hope this build isn't done. I don't know how far is too far, but it'd be pretty sweet to see the cosmetics get updated a bit and maybe an engine refresh.

[@jeffkrug9045]

Thank you for keeping it original. Legendary car

[@GsauceMiles]

that cap mickey has is so fire broooo! how i wish i have the money to buy some merch from throtl!!!

[@ilyagorodetskiy4748]

You guys should do NC Miata build with 2.5 swap, it’s the best bang for your buck race w a direct and cheap swap to make it unrecognizable after

[@carlstilp4102]

What a great classic car and what a great job you guys did tuning it all up and fixing all the little problems that were there my heads off to you🙈🙉🙊😎

[@RatherBeRestoring]

Grand National is on my list of cars that I really wanted but never had! along with the syclone and typhoon from that same era

[@AkeemJA15]

The aftermarket for these cars are crazy I'd def do the S10 spindle & upgrade the brakes on it & get with O&S performance to get you upgraded turbo kit & etc if yall wanted to do a full build

[@frankvanrijn964]

I think you should resto mod this thing. It´s cool enough to be one of your projects, make it perform and drive like a modern car! Modern turbo and Haltech the hell out of it, give it proper shocks and steering, upgrade the brakes and you´ll be suprised at the final result!

[@carleonlee7357]

You guys came through for my suggestion, yessss love you guys 💯🙌🏽💪🏽

[@danielspencer1973]

Modern turbo, ECU, and sensors with sequential injection and spark , fresh exhaust would be awesome.

[@betvette07]

Get a T-Type same gen and do a build like you do with the imports. Update everything! Make a Throtl LS, suspension the works. Bring it into this decade.

[@gouldnj]

How TF do you guys find this stuff?! Can’t wait to see the build. PS-love the trash ‘stache

[@giooo6349]

would be awesome to see you guys build some more old school stuff

[@rileyreece92]

This should have gone to AMMO NYC first. You guys should partner with him on another unicorn project car in the future. Would be a sick collab.

[@josephcaswell5729]

This warms my heart.... I love JDM but the GN is so mean... I like boxy cars...

[@localfloridaman4038]

Maybe try converting the rear breaks to discs? It won't intervene much with the car's style but inprove safety by A LOT.

[@boznorris527]

I've never seen or heard of a grand national before but hell yeah what a good looking car fair play 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤙

[@dobie25fan]

wow, love this build series already!!

[@sarathmarcus]

Do a body swap onto a V2 CTS-V or keep it V6 turbo a ATS-V. Wider chassis but stockish custom fender flares would make it a awesome retro retro build.

[@dustinsinn6688]

First ad read in a minute ive sat through and watched. Even if its was just an ad read, i gotta say, the finished product is great and all but seeing the process and the team doing the work is what im here for. Can just go to google if i wanna see finished projects..... Not gonna lie though. Id love to see a samll and tastful build of this car. Just some nice modern touches added in, in a period correct way. Only 4 minutes in so i might look dumb in 20 minutes but cant be bothered to wait to comment. 😂

[@sebastianlazo3933]

Finally something worth watching
