    Carry on with it,20 yrs old hot hatch and its been damaged.Better than most that have never been declared

    @Mitch-l9r Месяц назад +5

    Definitely should carry on and turn it into a monster, these cars are so much fun when tuned and modded and easily the best looking golf and GTI, I’ve got a k04 converted Mk5 GTI 380bhp absolute weapon it is

    • @BrettBarnesYT
      @BrettBarnesYT  Месяц назад +2

      Yeah I think I’m going to keep it 😊

    • @Mitch-l9r
      @Mitch-l9r Месяц назад +1

      @ it’ll be well worth it, just fix the common issues like the PCV, DV, Rocker cover gasket and keep it well maintained and there reliable as they come, you can daily this and have fun it’s like a go kart and there’s plenty of mods you can do to them 👍

    Quick tipp, sand the bottom of the trunk to the bare metal and then use the rust remover. Otherwise the rust will come thru again, sooner or later.

    Doesn’t matter if its a cat car, build it anyway 👍🏻 love the seatbelts. Intake wise either revo or ramair oversize

      Ooo okay! I’ll take a look at them. Thanks

  • @shanewaller2864

    Just carry on with it ,who cares .Just fully detail it. Get the engine bay ,the chassis and the paint work looking it's best .I'd love to see what the engine bay and chassis would look like after it's been dry ice blasted. Loving the auto finesse products they are also my go to brand for everything automotive detailing 🤟👍

    Enjoyed the video, one warning I can almost guarantee the outer sills will be rotten under them sill covers, other than that solid cars.

  • @GhostGravyGaming
    @GhostGravyGaming Месяц назад +4

    I'd carry on with it, I also own a Laser Blue Mk5 GTI & it would be a shame to see one scrapped due to it being quite a rare colour. Also for the intake, I have a REVO one which is rated the best for the MK5 GTI's! The engine cover / OEM intake are known to crack / snap.

    • @BrettBarnesYT
      @BrettBarnesYT  Месяц назад +1

      Okay, I’ll take a look at REVO’s intakes! Thank you

    Live the videos and the car! Youve cleaned it up and its come out looking beautiful, if you can get it insured for a good price i would recommend keeping it and maybe using it as a daily, i had a mk5 GTI with an AK47 backfire tune, rev it up and it would set off car alarms. Its a good platform for tuning, racing or just dailying

    • @BrettBarnesYT
      @BrettBarnesYT  Месяц назад
