This week Jack and Ethan are going to pull a Mk2 Golf GTI out of a shed that's been abandoned for over 20 years! They'll clean the absolutely revolting interior with the help of the VAX Spot Wash, see if they can get the barn find GTI turning over and running, before also fixing some of the car's cosmetic issues. Will the engine run, or will we be in too deep?

Now this is the kind of content i LOVE, especially a mk2 golf, Keep it coming lads always love the uploads
I agree 👌
I would have assaulted that engine with an industrial size barrel of D-germ
Totally really in for the long haul on this
Now if we could see more progress on there Turbo Volvo
@@Stevie242 yes, had forgotten about that bad boy swede
Good god, that engine is well and truly cooked. Love seeing Edwin presenting!
Yep, Edwin could be the magic ingredient in a new Car Throttle trio.
he is better than ethan
Yeah not as energetic as Alex but the trio needs to be a trio
The oil on the outside of the engine looked better than whatever was inside. That's pretty amazing.
If this is the new direction of CT, then I am very happy to see more of this detailed mechanical work! I'm very impressed with Edwin and Jack's knowledge.
Edwin is a natural, loved this episode! Keep it up boys!
Wasn't too sure about Edwin taking a regular presenting role but after this episode I'm sold!
Ethan is like the apprentice no one wants 😂
isn't that every apprentice
Apprentice? Them two can't even hold a candle to Ethan, the all mighty mechanical monster machine😂
I do 🥺
That’s the whole pint of the word apprentice shuthead
He's just acting
Hope you can save the engine but it looks too far gone. Edwin is a welcome addition to the team. Looking forward to the rest of the restoration.
Nah bro these things are bulletproof
Edwin and Jack together are so natural. Also, love the more greasy videos... as someone who longs to be able to do these kinds of things, but having neither the budget, nor the space, it's great to be able to live through others :)
Keep it up, you're knocking it out the park :)
In that case, you may enjoy Derek's content in #ViceGripGarage. One of his main bits is finding great old cars and getting them running. Amazing content.
Off course it looks good underneath. With all the oil leaking out of the engine it has been preserved perfectly 😁
Smaller bumper just looks better in every single way
person of culture
@John Chami thank you sir
absolutely!
Are you kidding me? G60 bumpers looks so much better
I like the small bumpers on the earlier ones with split front windows and the g60 on the facelift personally
I’m so happy your not just buying cars and doing “challenges” your actually working on car and getting involved. Loved this video guys, please please please more of this kinda content.
Edwin is my favourite! Legit had me cracking up at "turn it up, oh I love this one" and his nerdy knowledge is next level!
fingers crossed the engine is ok !! content like this is always 🔥🔥
stop making your website worse youtube
Any chance you can get rid of the idiot pretending to be car throttle? It's a scam
blud the engine is NOT ok 💀💀🔥🔥
Bring back dislikes you spineless cowards!
the engine is the opposite of ok 😂
This is just what this channel needed! Keep it up lads!
The best vid you’ve done for a long while. Great content, great car and great spec. Edwin clearly knows his stuff too. Looking forward to the next episode.
Loving seeing Edwin take on a more active role. He’s also clearly very knowledgeable and patient with Ethan 😂
would love to see this car actually done properly, awesome buy from Edwin
Glad you lads have kept at it, really enjoying the new format and a genuine bunch of guys getting hands dirty........looking forward to more like this
Edwin’s a natural! Hope he’s on camera more often. Total legend!
Great video, absolutely the right content! Hoping for a series on the Golf restoration. Three really is the sweetspot for car show presenters and Edwin should definitely be a regular, great team chemistry.
really enjoy seeing edwin on camera. also fantastic choice of car!!!!
Nice to see you boys
A Mrk 1 Golf is genuinely my dream car and when you finally get this beauty going properly, I bet it will be amazing! A great video lads, keep it up 👍
Loving it. These are the best of the videos- no stupid messing about - fixing up a fine old car with three engaging and funny blokes.
2.0 16v abf engine would look nice in the mk2👌🏼
I love this kind of content! Such a cool little car. I hope it gets to live.
Fantastic content, and Edwin is a really complementary addition to the team. Cant wait to see what you do!
Edwin is great! Good to see you having a real project, keep it alive!
I haven't laughed this much with a RUclips video like this in a long time. What an amazing team you guys got :)
Great video. This channel has really hit its stride with the new presenting team. Looking forward to part two.
Really loved this episode guys! Excited to see the next installment!
Love it! I had a 1989 1.6 carb now have a 1991 1.8t swapped MK2 golf. 237bhp and the turbo noises are the best! Definitely the way you should go!
I had a type 19 1.8t also ko4 270hp it was insane that's the most power a road going mk2 needs
Love Edwin on camera and these semi diy type projects keep it coming ❤
This is brilliant, can't wait until the next ep. Nice one lad's & Ethan!
Is Ethan not a lad? 😂
This trio just works so well! Loving the content fellas. I can't wait to see more of this car
I can't believe we are finally getting a mk2 golf video. Fixing up my dad's old 1988 mk2. This is the video I have always wanted from you guys. Keep up the good work!
Looking forward to part 2 👍
finally car throttle has bought a cool car, i may be bias though, i have a mk2 (first car) just a 1.3 4dr but i love the thing, i have the same type 19 gti interior in mine, looking forward to seeing what you do with it, id say a bbs body kit would look mint on it
Just coming back to this video, what a brilliant series this was.
Owning a mk2 golf driver myself and working on a 16v gti and a g60 rallye at work, this is fun to watch
You are lucky guy
We need a Car Throttle vs Overdrive collab!!
Fantastic gentleman. Great viewing, good depth of detail and plenty of humour! Best of luck!
Best video in ages (not that your other videos aren’t good, they definitely are) so excited for this series! More barn finds pls 👍🏻
Looks great. Definitely deserves a new engine either original or 1.8T
I love car throttle, best car RUclips channel ever
Well it's not REALLY is it 😂
A piece of art. So pumped to see what you guys do!
More stuff like this! I love this stuff! The banter and its super interesting
Could this fit a VR6?? That'd be wild...
Ther are a few with vr6 swaps
Could it fit a W12 🤔
Was thinking the same, would sound magical🙌🏼
cant wait for the pd130 swap
The first CT video in a long while that I trully enjoyed. Keep it up guys, please
Genuinely love the three personalities on this show! Relatable interactions keepijg me laughing throught the video 😅
The early ones are the better looking ones. My old white one was in a slightly better state than this one when I started on it. By the time I'd finished it, I'd ditched the 8v for a 3.2 24v.. would recommend! 😂
Now a happy Rallye owner.
If you need any advice, contacts for parts or anything feel free to reach out.
Your old one .... was in a worst state than this one when I first bought it 10 years ago.
@@AKAeddypeck I think between us the amount of work was probably on par with what the one in this vid needs 😆
Car throttle time 😎
Great episode this, good to see Edwin again too, nice bit of chemistry building here.👍
Okay I’m really looking forward to this series guys!!! Make it regular uploads on this piece please!
Made me remember I have a golf engine in my shed 😂
I don't know if a replacement engine would set you back more than a rebuild of this one but I would attempt the rebuild just because
Rebuilding this engine would cost way more than sourcing another one.
This engine is so fucked it might be beyond saving regardless of cost as there could be cracks inside the block. The best outcome for it is a coffee table at this point.
@@MrManBuzz I guess the EA827 or whatever this engine is are plentiful. I got one in my 1L Toledo rustbucket.
Loving this trio! Cant wait for the next videos!
This was VERY entertaining, as I own a red MK5 GTI and back in the days when this poor car sat in a garage, my dad owned a red MK2 1.6 petrol, so this is quite special! He sold the red MK2 in 2008 and found it on the streets still running half a year ago! These cars are invincible. Cant wait to see the progress, this car deserves to live again.
About a month ago I saved an 86 Gti that had been under a shed since 2001. Im the 2nd owner. Luckily the previous owner was an older lady. Im 100% confident the only reason I was able to save it and get it back to being road worthy was the fact that it sat for 20 years and wasnt owned by my 17 year old self.
Make some contents on japanese kei cars if possible
off to mighty car mods with you!
Loved this episode! 😍 Looking forward to the next one!
My first car was a regular mk2 golf 1.8 and I still love them, good work for keeping them alive!
it better be kept original!! we got enough chav'd up cars ruined already
That’s a nice find. Must be low mileage parked up for 2 decades.
Doesn't mean much if the Engine is cooked lol
I mean, the car was registered in 1985, so it was 17 year old when it was parked up... it had plenty of time to rack up miles.
Engines fucked tho
Really enjoyed this! Look foward to seeing more of this car.
Love the loading bar for the sponsor spot. Thank you for adding it
First ever car was a Mk1 Mars Red LHD 4speed GTI.
Drive it back from base in Germany to the UK.
Had it in the UK 3 days
Racing a Sierra Cosworth and a Clio Williams round the windy B Roads near Cambridge.
Cossie couldn’t touch us.
Until I ran out of talent, fell off the road and was windscreen deep into a ditch.
That GTI or lack of still sits in my lock up waiting for my son to be old enough to rebuild it.
I’ve spent 17years sourcing every part I need to rebuild her.
A build series on this would be top tier.
Just don’t fuck it up like i did mine!
“Cossie couldn’t touch us”? No of course not.
Where did his neck go?
Bruhh
Great energy, guys loving the chemistry
Love this lads fair play I’ll definitely be watching future stuff !
Unpopular opinion: no offense to him, but carthrottle is actually better since Alex went his own way
This can take over auto-Alex any day with content like this
Yes! Amazing series. Can't wait for more
Finally, nice video guys! Thanks!
Well done guys. This is a series ill be watching with interest. Best video you've done in a while
you have no idea how much i want to see this car on the road, please continue this build!!!
Really enjoyed this video, cant wait for the next one. More videos like this please!
What a great vid. More of this lads. Barn finds!!!
This is the BEST episode you lads have done in ages!!! Keep it up! Love this content!
Always liked Edwin's stories on the channel anyway, but he's completed the trio nicely. Great channel 👏
Love to see these kinds of rebuilds! Can't wait to see and hear it go soon :)
Really cool to see more and more Edwin in the videos. Keep up the amazing content lads ❤
Great video lads. Can't wait till the next episode.
More like this please - working on cars is the best content you do!
Bloody brilliant video. Car Throttle is back 👌🏻👌🏻
This is a proper project. Looking forward to watching the progress, stick with it as it will make a cool series,
Please do many more episodes like this . Love this type of content
Need so much more content like this!!
Great vid. Excited for the next!
Great video guys im lookinb forward to seeing the progress.
Also just ordered the vax spot wash i have been thinking about it for some time and you made up my mind especially with the discount code!
Nice one
thanks Jack
By far my dream car. So glad you've started this series!
i like the optamistic bants, shows you actually love doing what you do
Edwin! Top bloke, and works really well with Jack and Ethan!
Love it! Had a MK2 Golf GTI 8v as my 3rd car at 19, loved it up until the next MOT when it was deemed as uneconomical to repair due to the whole chassis being extra lightweight due to the rust... Would love to see a 1.8T BAM Conversion! Keep up the great content lads!
Jack and Edwin make a good double act. Hope there’s a few more vids on the golf
More vids with the edwin, jack and ethan combo!
This Golf Project is brilliant content for the channel best of luck with everything 👌👌👌
Really looking forward to the next episode!
Thank you lads for attempt on saving the golf, looks like it really needed it
