Brilliant, great vidio I love your passion. I love the Mark 3 Golfs too. I'm on my second one, it's 32 years old! Sadly due to dodgy knees - me not the car! I may have to change over the an old Mark 3 Golf Automatic. I'm dreading the extra fuel cost though and will be so sad to put my red one to one side.
I have a dragon green 1997 CL 1.8 ADZ, My Father (RIP) bought it new for around $28,000 Australian which was almost twice as much as a comparable Nissan in 1997, it's been the most amazing reliable car ever and rust is not a problem with the Mk3 in Australia, believe me when I say "this baby isn't going anywhere in a hurry" it was given to me in 2014 when My father moved back to the UK, the car has always been well loved and is in excellent condition, it's not fast but it is nippy and can be a hoot to drive, other than a bit of a sporty exhaust and a set of 16" alloys, it's totally stock and I love it!
I've driven all golf models except for the new mk8. I own a mk3 cabrio. I really wanted a mk1 cabrio because I my first nice car was one. But now with a little boy running around I didn't feel a mk1 was safe enough, but I still wanted a cabrio. At first I hated the mk3's, but it grew on me. It drives nice, has the same 'spirit' as the mk1 and mk2 and it was really cheap. I think the downside of the mk3 is that is very sensitive for rust. I had the sills reconstructed, they were just rotted away. The engine, transmission and interior are rock solid for a 25 year old car, it is very easy to work on I take this car out for a spin over my 2017 2.0 tdi golf! Interest is growing in mk3, there is more to find on RUclips. I have a couple of suggestions Resto designs. This guy is amazing! He really knows his stuff. Jamie Orr. Not mk3 specific but he has some nice vw's including 2 mk3 harlekins PincheAls Garage. Lots of engine swaps, good stuff! I hope I don't bore you with my long story, but keep the mk3 content coming! Love it!
mk3 cabbys are growing on me, ive been considering buying one for the summer sadly very true about the rust although the same could be said for mk1 and mk2 aswell just the age i guess. resto designs im subscribed currently so ill watch back on his content, jamie orr im subscribed really jealous of his collection. the other one ill check out thankyou. thanks for the support
I just bought an imported COX 420SI MKIII from '95. It's only been a few days but it's sooo much fun to drive around. I'm hoping it was as good of a purchase as it seems. I've been having the time of my life in it.
I have to admit that i will remain faithfull to my Golf MK3. I own A '95 GT TDI almost 600.000km original engine!🤩. these cars are very reliable. And cuz of low emission zone i recently bought a 16v GTI. Also great car.🏎️

Thank you for this video bro! I was seriously considering selling mine this year but NOT now, there's some small rust bits on mine but nothing structural or major, thankfully. I would love to mod & be able to work on mine like you do yours, but I have no idea where to start!!
No worries, yeah honestly they're increasing in value give them 5 years and they'll be worth even more. Lucky it's not structural but you can sort the rust eventually if your patient with it.
