Best example of "make do with what you have" or "where there's a will, there's a way"! All looks very good, well done!

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Thank you my good sir ! I'm hoping for an awesome mk1 4door NA diesel... Give some love for these unwanted options , haha !!

[@sarahspicale6016]

The most balkan way to turn it to the side 🤣 awesome. Love your progress. Keep up the great work!

[@vwfatmobile3275]

Good job. Save the Rabbits. I think paint sticks better if it's brushed on. It doesn't look as smooth but on the underside it doesn't matter. I've been saving one. Used floorpans and stuff saved from another car and it rotted again in 10 years so now I'm replacing rusted metal with stainless pieces.

Funniest commentary I’ve heard! Awesome work!

[@idiotluggage]

Really cool. I will eventually be doing this to my 87 Cabriolet.

Old vw revival in an old barn... Really know that ! Hi from france 😄

[@efstratios.grammenis]

Great work mate! And I really liked your "Balkan way" to put the car on its side. I am eager to see the next video.

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Balkan way is the only way, hahaha !!!

[@efstratios.grammenis]

[@lamarrox5929]

I only got the chance to watch this now, and the build is coming along nicely. I hope this winter is a great winter to get it finished.

[@sebastianmueller5841]

Good work, your on a good way. Bravo.

[@ersinatesoglu1088]

nice work 👏👏 Good luck, I hope it turns out for the best. I really like the Balkan style. greetings from Turkey🙏🙋

[@bloodlypix2960]

really coo seeing someone giving so much attention to a golf 1, im going through a similar process in my golf 2

[@laszlovona]

nice one mate!😉👍. that tilting device is epic👍. btw I was also working on the wheel wells of my mk1 yesterday. All that rubberized gunk was a nightmare to remove.. and another nightmare was the rust at the bottom of the strut tower.. ehh.. I need to remove (drill/cut) both strut towers working inside the engine bay and then repair the wing underneath.. and then build them back on solid metal.. ☹️

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

My strut towers were crusty but not completly gone, good wire cleaning and some rust inhibitor made wonders, i had to patch only that little place in the video, on the other side it looks a bit worse, there i will have to do some more welding... Lets hope for the best!

[@shmuckyt2377]

dude well done , this is a dope project 🔥🔥🔥🔥 i am goign to do it to my vw citi golf 😋🔥

[@mattalki]

It's definitely looking less crusty! Nice work on the welding. That has to be a bit unnerving to start welding when you haven't really done it before. Kudos on starting a new skill! You've inspired me to get back to my mk1 and start getting the old girl running again. The injection pump and injectors are currently getting a rebuild. I might even post some of that crap on youtube. Good luck on the rest of the restoration!

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Thank you mate ! After all of this time working on the car i learned that you need to do everyrthing yourself if you want the project to turn out as you wish... So i bought a decent mig welder which works with a co2 fire extinguisher tube because it works and i had a couple of them for free. I found out that welding and shaping metal is not that hard, it only requiers some basic skills and know-how. During the winter i will also rebuild the injectors and the pump, we might share the same struggle haha ! Take care and good luck !

[@laszlovona]

@@upcyclethepastutp9901 I will also team up with you guys haha.. the injectors are OK, but the pump was sitting for 9 years so it needs some attention I assume.

[@tj93cjc]

Wow, great progress man, Seems like you mastered all the skills needed to restore this bad boy . Keep up the great work. The car will be back on the road good as new in no time . Good luck in the future

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Thanks mate, i think it will take another 1.5 years to finish the car, when you do it bolt by bolt it takes a lot of time :(

[@knoky9164]

Nice work as always:)

[@metalheadnextdoor]

Premature first!

[@HeikoQuant]

You and the welder seem to be done being friends.

[@andrewfernandez3827]

Been waiting on this episode!! I love this video series man

[@azizghalem2908]

Nice work 💪👷👏

Thank you !

[@nigeljackson8318]

Loving it 👍

[@danielcarreta2647]

Hey man, Nice work on that car 👍 For the valve couver, if you came find, the Passat g60 1.8 petrol fits like OEM and give the engine a really cool Touch, on my golf mk2 GTD i put that ! A big hug from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@johnraisanen5131]

Good work. Just curious if you remember where you purchased the belly pan reinforcements under the front part of the floor pans.

[@sebastianbecht2803]

Szia! Nagyon ügyes! Megkérdezhetem hogy van e ennek a kasztni forgatónak valami speciális neve? Nagyon tetszik, de sehol sem találok. Köszi előre is!

[@pushingbuttons12]

I want to know too!

[@lltk12]

Great job. How are your tools from Lidl holding up?

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Thanks mate, all of them still working :) for casual diy jobs they are grate for the money, don't know how would they hold up with daily use :)

[@pushingbuttons12]

What do you call that tool to turn the car on its side?

[@vwadi9251]

szép munka! milyen hegesztőt használsz?

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Szia, köszönöm ! Egy jasic novo mig 130-ast használok, 150 euro körül forog, védőgázam meg egy co2-es tüzoltópalack, mivel ingyen volt, nagyon jol működik csak fejjel lefelé kell használni. Corgon gàz itt a zónában aranyárban van... Szóval ezzel a balkán megoldással nyomom az ipart !

[@vwadi9251]
