All that rust repair is a huge hurdle that you can finally put in your rear view mirror. Looking forward to seeing what's next on the build. Keep up the great work R!
Oh absolutely, refreshing to know I can now move onto other things knowing the chassis is now rock solid! Appreciate the comments as always, and thanks for watching!! Cheers
Haha, you have to start somewhere! Everyone does, myself included. Years back i bought my first $500 project car and got to work... Then till now has been a constant learning curve! I encourage you to get out there, give it a go!! Thanks for the comments, truly appreciate it and thanks so much for watching! Cheers!!
Thank you, I'm working on that!! Hard so make content that isn't all that exciting to watch, at least bearable hahaha. Thanks for watching and again thanks for the great comments! Cheers
I'm actually here because of the resto/bodywork...and I went through something similar on my Truck...have you test fitted the doors/fenders? I did my rockers similar to how you did yours, but when I hung one of the doors, the panels weren't quite in the right spot. I know these aren't how-to videos, per se, but wondered if you did it off camera?
I haven't yet, and you are absolutely right. I imagine there will be some small adjustments that will need to be made no doubt, but I will leave that for the body working stage. Thank you very much for watching!! Really appreciate the comments and the follow, Thank you!!
What amazing work. You're a huge inspiration to us all. I have a MK3 GTi that I plan on doing a full nut and bolt resto., only I'm afraid the rust on that might be 10X worse than yours and wondering if it's too far gone. Hopefully once I get a chance to inspect it (sittiing outside at a far away outdoor storage) if it's not bad , I'm anxious to get started on it. Your video's are motivating. I thank you for that. Looking forward to follow on all your projects. Really glad you stuck the course with this MK1.
Thank you!! Very Kind! YESS!!! Get out there and start having some fun with your own car, that's what all this is about! Soon as you get started, you'll find that motivation to keep going, and you'll be happy you did! I wish you the best of luck with your build for sure, definitely some awesome mk3's out there!! Thanks so much for watching and hope to catch you on the next one! Cheers!!
@@MysteryGarage I can’t wait when you start the wiring process, I plan on paying close attention to that episode. I’m in the process of pealing back wiring in my engine bay harness because I removed all of the cis fuel injection and going carburetor, so I’m removing the unnecessary wiring I don’t need anymore plus I’m doing a wire tuck to clean up the engine bay.
Nice work mate, cheers for the close up on the jacking beams, I thought the inner structure would be damaged its very strange as you said are you going to put the original bodyline back in the rocker for the trim to sit in cus the aftermarket ones don't have them I want to do it to mine but haven't came up with a plan let
Thank you. Ya I'm still on the fence about that at the moment, just because i really like the clean look of simplicity, and since the holes already don't exist and don't need to be filled, currently has me thinking i may just leave it as is... but my mind could be changed hahaha. Thanks so much for the comments and thanks for watching! Appreciate it!!
I actually just use a flappy disk, I can’t remember the grit count off hand but I feather it more by pressure than grit size. It’s all about the finesse hahaha! Thanks for watching, love the comment!! Appreciate it very much! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage You have inspired me to work on my 84 rabbit convertible. I went out and bought a welder and started to practice on some scrap metal. Thanks!
Whats up man! i think your totally awesome!... Just wanted to ask which Welder you are using to do the body work on your MK1 Project... I'm from South Africa & I'd really like to buy one
Thank you! Much Appreciated, I use a Lincoln MIG Pak 140 wire feed i bought YEARS ago... great little welder and it didnt break the bank at the time. Hello to South Africa and thanks for watching!! Really appreciate it!!
Absolutely right! Yes i buttwelded the rear section behind the door as well as the front section where it joined the A pillar, the rest i plug welded as discussed in the episode! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments! Anymore questions, please don't hesitate! Cheers!!
Rust is definitely at the weld point but it’s m not sure the rear quarter has ever been replaced. If it has it was an amazing break job because I searched too and bottom inside and out to see if it had been, didn’t see anything of the sort. Either way, all sorted now! Appreciate the watch and thanks so much for the comments! Cheers!!
Mk2 gti? ili za koji golf pitate? Ovaj automobil radim na i objaviti videa svake srijede, kontinuirano radi dok je završio sve na youtube! Hvala što ste gledali jako puno, cijenim podršku!!
Absolutely!! Hahaha Did exactly that off camera, even hand sanded a few spots to be extra extra sure! Once i found this, i basically triple checked the entire car twice! All Good, everything is solid and anything in between has been replaced! Very much appreciate the comments, and look forward to more! Thanks for watching too! Cheers!!

Looks good bro
Thank you, really appreciate that!!
Great info! What is the grit count of the sander at the beginning and after your welds?
I actually just use a flappy disk, I can’t remember the grit count off hand but I feather it more by pressure than grit size. It’s all about the finesse hahaha! Thanks for watching, love the comment!! Appreciate it very much! Cheers

Did you butt weld the bit behind the door? It looks quite smooth for an overlap which is why I ask. Nice video by the way!
Absolutely right! Yes i buttwelded the rear section behind the door as well as the front section where it joined the A pillar, the rest i plug welded as discussed in the episode! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments! Anymore questions, please don't hesitate! Cheers!!
It's had a new rear quarter panel the dents inside is from previous crash the rust is from joining the quarter panel
Rust is definitely at the weld point but it’s m not sure the rear quarter has ever been replaced. If it has it was an amazing break job because I searched too and bottom inside and out to see if it had been, didn’t see anything of the sort. Either way, all sorted now!

Rust is the bane of my existence
Right? Man o man, but if you want to play with these older cars, need to look the devil eye to eye lol. Cheers!
@@MysteryGarage here’s to you getting it done 🍻
👍👍👍
Much appreciated! As always!
