It was! Found a good spot!

It’s a tradition!

@@MacReflections that’s a bummer… this is my lowest mile car and it’s really just a back up car to use while working on one of my others. Engine is pretty well cared for so I will fix it when weather is better. $37 for the heater core and $18 for the bypass in the meantime isn’t bad…

@@waynep343 yes the GTI and regular Jetta use 288mm in the front - the GLI and anniversary GTI use 312mm. I am swapping out 288mm for the correct 312mm here in this video. 🤙🏽

🤘🏽we’re getting somewhere!

Sometimes it’s 1 step forward, 2 steps back…

@@heathweaver8707 YT won’t let me do links in comments for some reason but it’s on Amazon under “Wacaco MiniPresso”. The one I have is the nespresso pod version, they also have a loose ground version. I prefer the pods for simplicity.

@@dew.adventures6712 my favorite pastime

@@dew.adventures6712 🍷cheers!

🙏🏽

It was a good time!

@@jamesthetraveller5071 yes you can…. Buuuuut, if you drop it that’s on you. You are flying over the Caribbean…. I strapped a GoPro on me so I wouldn’t lose it. Either way I HIGHLY recommend it. I can’t wait to go back!

@@HowDidy-gb1kb it’s a 2003 and has the real interior trim and body kit from a 20th so good enough for me. Did it come off the line as a 20th? No. It has the same same engine code and is tuned hotter than a stock 20th. This ain’t the place for elitism though… only the passion.

@ elitism? It was a question 💀 as someone who has a 20th I was just curious.

@@HowDidy-gb1kb it’s implied if it’s a clone, that it’s not a “real 20th” so the only reason to ask is to point it out. As in “I have one and you don’t” - ie elitism. If that wasn’t your intention then I’m sorry for mistaking it. The question phrased like that certainly comes across snarky though so perhaps you can understand where I’m coming from. Either way I’ve got friends with 20th’s and they say mine is in better condition. To me it’s more about the passion of driving than whether it came off the line a certain way. YMMV cheers 🤙🏽

💯🤙🏽

@@rubreh6638 truly the BEST. Sounds like you are about due for another… cheers 🤙🏽

🍻

Yeah… the views are great up above all that though. Glad I work up high 🗻

I’m very close!

@@ricardojuarez291 you can usually buy new control arms with new bushings already pressed in for fairly cheap. I did that a few year ago (these are them) but the rear bushings wore out due to other problems on the car that I’ve fixed so I didn’t want to buy all new control arms again. Had to figure out a way to get them in without a hydraulic press and it worked fine for me. I’d lookup your control arm and just get replacements though.

@@GodBlessAmerica0629 first thing i would tell you is make sure it runs and drives without any obvious issues (knocks etc). I would also say given the age plan to tear it down and replace the guides/chains at the very least from the get go. The VR6 are very reliable for a long period of time without a ton of fuss but at the end of that interval catastrophic failure is inevitable. If you find a standalone engine where you can’t start it, go ahead and buy it, but tear it down and start fresh all the way… might as well get a spacer and turbo it at that point too…

@@GodBlessAmerica0629 also… I have been in the market for a good 12V 2.8 VR6 to tear down and build on a stand for some time. I’m waiting for the right one but I have plans to swap it into one of my Mk4s to free up a 1.8t for teardown and rebuild to drop back into a project for some power gains. I’ve got a 3.6 VR6 in my Touareg and it is an absolute beast… sounds like 🤤 too…

Okay thank you for all this it’s very helpful.

@ no problem. Let me know if you have any other questions. Sub for more VW content 🤙🏽

Will do thanks man

💯 we’re rounding the corner!!!! 🍻

Thanks man!

Thank you!!!

@@newgeneration3496 I highly recommend it! Great for backcountry coffee that doesn’t suck, when the power goes out and you need a pick me up, or in the event of societal collapse 😂. The version I have you need nespresso pods - but they make a version you can use grounds in, or you can get a refillable nespresso pod (on my list). Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you! We’re doing this!

Thank you so much!

@@LaconianConcepts we did it! You’re over 500! I am only at 428 myself, also looking forward to 500. Not sure what happens at 500 - maybe you could let me know

@@devinteske yes!!!! You all made it happen! Thank you so much! At 500 you are eligible for monetizing your channel (some other stipulations as well) but I believe you get bumped in the algorithm… time will tell. I don’t care about the money but I want people to enjoy my adventures so if it gets more access to people then I’m all for it!! I’m subbing you to help get you there too, cheers! 🤙🏽

@@michellem7649 it was so fun! It was the crystal cave tour in Belize. The tour ran from Belize City port. We were on #royalcaribbean but I know that most the cruise lines use them. I highly recommend!

🧟‍♂️

LFG!!!! 🍻

🤙🏽

Yeah it’s just because I’m putting in a flywheel that never came stock in this generation so you have to modify a little bit. 🤘🏽

@@rippn6124 ex-squeeze me? Baking powder? 🧐

Super fun!

@@toddgittins5692 seeing as it’s a junkyard I thought that was pretty obvious…

@@LaconianConcepts there's always that dreamer, that thinks they can bring it back to showroom condition.

It is possible - I’ve restored a few cars - but those gems are great finds at the yard to fix up cars that people already are restoring. That’s all I was showing. I’m working on a 20 year old car refurb (hence why I was at the pick-n-pull).
