Thanks for your question. Reason for not changing the whole panel is that I believe that original panel (when its not corroded) is in better quality than replicas. So I am trying too keep as much original panels as possible.

Thanks a lot :) Happy to see that you are enjoying this video series :)

Thanks :) Hope I will be able to finish painting still in this year 🙃

@@honestmileage5225 You're working faster than I am on my own Mk2, so good stuff! The original color of your hood is the color of my car, except mine is a 16V.

Thats a nice color you have there :) And 16v sounds great. Must be awesome to drive it 😎👍

Thanks a lot mate :)

Noted, thanks for the advice 👍

Thanks a lot 😊👍

Thanks a lot :) I agree, its a fun project car. I can practice every type of car job, because nothing is in good condition on it 😁 Regarding color, I will not go with the montana green. It is nice color, but it doesnt fit to my "dream" setup, which is polar silver golf.

Thanks, noted 📝😊 As you already figured out, I call lot of parts like "stuff" 😁 when I dont know the correct name.

I totally agree, for me it's important to gain experience by doing things. What I like is to do it alone, when I can make mistakes without being blamed on the spot 🤫

Heh, I need to earn money somehow, so I will definitely not quit my daily job 😁 Fun fact: I work in bank 🏦 So my hobby around cars is something 180° different :)

@@honestmileage5225 just bustin your chops. Working on cars is the best. Don't ever quit!

Happy to hear that you like this video series about Golf GTD :) Thanks for ecouraging words. I was thinking about leaving this project few times, but I am always returning to it and I will continue until it is finished :) Now I need to prepare all the rest parts like wings, doors, bonnet etc. That will be lot of fun, I am sure 😁

Thanks a lot for you kind words 😊 I will definitely continue with working on the GTD. Plenty of work ahead on other parts excluding body :) I will now have a little vacation to get some new energy 😁🏖

Thanks a lot 😍

Yes, I am located in central Europe (Slovakia) and we run winter and summer tires depending on season. Winter tires are mandatory if there is a snow layer on the road.

@@honestmileage5225 ah yes. You get some cold weather so it makes sense. Here in the UK we only need summer tyres. So when we have one day a year of snow and ice it's chaos! Love this build and the encouraging words.

Happy to hear that you enjoy this series :)

Thanks :) Montana green is a nice color, I admit that, but for this project I decided to go with polar silver. I think final result will be good. Lets see :)

Thanks, I will keep these wheels for winter season :) For summer I will go with some other ones, most probably japanracing jr31.

Nice to hear that

Thanks a lot 😊

I bought mine at allegro: allegro.pl/oferta/vw-golf-ii-mk2-83-92-podloga-reperaturka-le-pr-11597946479

@@honestmileage5225 thank you

Well, you have good ears :) Actually there is no exhaust installed on ... or lets say it this way. Exhaust is on the car, but it is not connected to the engine 😁 Because I was not able to install exhaust clamps yet 🙄

@@honestmileage5225 oh thats good to hear. At the end i saw you had a muffler on but wasnt too sure if it was connected

@@neonaffliction yeah, I tried to connect those clamps, but I bought a cheap clamp tool and it broke on first try 😐

Same here 😍🤩

Thanks a lot, happy to know, you are here from the start 🥳

Thanks a lot :) I am looking forward to see it low and on nice wheels. I am thinking about japan racing jr31 or maybe I will borrow bbs rm from the other golf I have 🤭

Well, it is more rusty than I expected, but I will fix it anyway :)

Thanks :) Actually I buy parts from different sources, ebay, allegro.pl, local shops. Chassis leg was quite difficult to get. Is no longer available anywhere. I got it from another country, where someone didnt finish his restoration and was selling the part locally. Fortunately one of my friends live there, so he was able to pick it up personally. Other than that i suggest to search constantly on web. Or you can maybe find someone at your area who is parting out shell or other things from golf.

Metal facing outside like arches or sills are bought from different places (local shops, allegro, ebay), but the small parts like reinforcements inside are just metal sheets bent by myself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_Clip

Yes, that's what I wanted to say :) Thanks

At first I was thinking the same 😁 But the floor was quite dirty from grinding, so I just cried a little and cleaned the mess 🥲

Oh yes 😁 But I am very happy with the results. On the car I mean. Now even the floor will be never rusty 🙄

@@honestmileage5225 my golf mk2 is pretty rusty in the trunk area, I was thinking using this for the rust at least it will slow it down.

Unfortunately I cannot tell at this point any long term experience, but i expect it will help 👍

Thanks a lot 😇

Well, hard to tell, but I assume I am around 25 % now, so 75 more to go 🫡

Thanks a lot 😊 I am happy that i can give this car a "second chance"

Yes., I plan to tune the engine a little bit with more fuel and boost. I have as well bought intercooler already. But first I want to be sure that engine works fine as it is :)

😂 true

Thanks 🥳

Thanks 🥳

😂😂😂

It was a brand new panel. But I got it locally from one guy who planned to do resto on his golf, but then he rather sold it and he was selling this unused part separately. I was unable to find this part in any shop :/ part number is 191809101h

That's a good idea 😁👍

Ahoj, plecharinu zhanam rozne, lebo uz je toho dostupneho pomenej, takze nieco z allegra, ebayu, pripadne vw heritage. Plus teda lokalne ak sa da. Co sa tyka blatniku tak skus pozriet depoauto, bral som od nich par veci. Ale dvere budu asi problem, zo zahranicia bude drahy dovoz. Takze skor najst nieco lokalne na bazosi alebo na fb v skupine vw retro club slovakia. Drzim palce 👍

I am jealous now 😁 Which color will you use for the engine bay ? And what engine do you have there ? 😎

@@honestmileage5225 it’s a California car so it’s very solid. My car it’s a 16v but the engine it’s bad I’m swapping a 20v turbo now. I’m painting the engine bay the same color red.

Red 20v turbo sounds nice! I had 1.8t in an old audi s3 and it was really good and interesting car to drive 👍

Hello, I will change the color of the whole car to polar silver metallic (LA7V)

Thanks 🤩

Hi, well, i got them from various sources. Ebay, allegro.pl, some local shops. If you are interested in some specific part, I can check where i got it 😊👍

Thanks 😊🛠

Thanks :) Actually I use 0.8mm wire as well. I just need to adjust power and wire speed on the machine based on how thick metal I am welding 🗜

Hope you enjoyed it 😊

Yes, rust is really bad on mine. But I take it as an opportunity to practice welding :) Good luck with yours, hope my videos will motivate you 🫡 New episode will arrive today 📺
