This video makes you realize what a timeless design the Mk2 Jetta and Golf are. You've done an amazing job fixing her up.
Absolutely! Thanks so much!
The seats and carpet in that can be done with a pressure washer.
Had an older Jetta back in the day. The seats looked black/dark grey.
Took them out and just used the pressure washer on them and left them to dry.
Suddenly there where grey/black checkered. Carpet went from mucky to black.
Hardest part is stripping all that stuff out to clean it , but that's not even that hard it's just time.
And more time invested , the nicer it'll look
@@MrTheHillfolk With cars this old, you can completely remove the entire interior in a few hours, that's the good thing. You don't do this again and again, but in the best case only once.
Yeah steam wash will do a great job on them
Try spraying a little water for lubrication while you're doing the cutting Michael - it does help! 👍
There's an interesting story about the 1989 diesel Jetta. Just like virtally every other automaker, VW had discontinued their diesel models in the U.S. after 1986 due to lack of demand (gas was cheap again).
But in 1989, to test interest in reintroducing a diesel option, they test marketed 200 diesel Jettas -- all or most of them in this same red color -- by putting them on dealer lots with no announcement or advertising. (Supposedly this was the result of a fleet order that fell through, but I'm not sure I believe that part of the story.) To VW's surprise, the cars sold out quickly, so then they kept making more of them.
Another quirk was the 1991 diesel Jetta 2-door "coupe", which I definitely know existed because I've seen several of them in person, even though all of VW's brochures at the time specifically indicated that the diesel was only available on the 4-door Jetta.
I got a 91 coupe , my dad bought it new and i got all the papers, he dailyed it for 12yrs.
It's been upgraded with a 1.9aaz with a 1.6 head , but is pretty much all original and in decent shape.
I've probably got a few vids of it on my channel , it sat 6yrs in a garage and I resurrected it back in 2012
Not all 89 Jetta Diesels where Red. I have Owned 2 Atlas Grey ones myself and seen at least 2 more in person.
I don't believe there was ever a break in Canada. My parents and siblings had a fleet of them. 84(rabbit), 85, 86, 87, 89 all at the same time. When my rabbits drivetrain got tired I had the local VW shop put the engine into a 89 VW Fox.
14 VWs in and a ton of research I never heard this but cool nonetheless.
Those cars were highly desireable and sold at a premium due to the cost of fuel.
Still a nice-looking vehicle to boot.
After the end result, I'd absolutely drive this car daily.
Heck yeah dude, I'd rock this thing as a daily!
I'd drive a retromobile like this even before the detail!
@@jamestorrens645 What are you even doing on this channel? lol
Toyota 86 GTS James like your mother knows anything about the value of that car🤷🏾♂️
@@brokenoilpans1043 exactly. A rust-free shell and what seems to be a solid drivetrain...but still "mom thinks it looks junky, so it should be scrapped"? Come on...
Those old VW have some sort of sweet charming, I love them. Very good job.
Great litter project car for someone looking for an easy start.
16 year old me would’ve loved it!
I love videos like this one. Sitting for years to running, cleaned up and ready to roll. Always wanted an early diesel car.
Hey Michael (and dad) subscribed a while ago but didn't see the past stuff, but i'm catching up! One of the things I enjoy the most is that you look after the cosmetics of the car, rather than just getting it running. I'm an auto detailer so I truly know how much time goes into presenting a finished vehicle. Hats off to you, you're doing great!
Subscriber for 6 months...appreciate your skills, +attitude, motivating us recliner warriors to get to work! Respect for your Father is very much appreciated, hardly ever see that these days. This VW Jetta project was A-1+! from start to finish. Thanks to you and your Dad!
Looks lovely! 23 years ago I was tempted by a 1987 1.3 litre petrol engined Jetta in a metallic beige colour (UK spec). Probably about as slow as this diesel model. Always liked the styling of these.
They ain´t fast but reliable
Wow the car looks amazing after them years of just sitting with muck on it with the polishing it looks amazing you did a great job keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and hope you and family are doing well
Found this video so satisfying to watch, Michael!
Great work on putting in lots of elbow grease on this 1989 VW Jetta.
You're quite the entrepreneur to fund your project Porsche this way! I can relate. Keep up the great work with more great content like this that inspires others to go out there and do the same.
You did an amazing job on this beautiful Jetta. I am working on my 88 Jetta that has sat for about 9 years after it was wrecked by my uncle. I can't wait to have mine up and running. Keep up the great work!
As always another great effort! A couple tips. 1. Presoak car before pressure washing. Use detergent. half cup to two gallons water and add either bleach or hydrogen peroxide as well half cup. 2. Wrong buffing pad. Use sheeps wool for heavy cutting and clean frequently by spiinning and applying a screw driver blade to wool pad to prevent buildup. 3. Rent an ozone machine to deodorize a car like this
the Jetta was always underappreciated. I'm amazed at how well the paint held up under all that muck, except the horizontal surfaces for obvious reasons. Nice original rims and solid body after this long time, looks like she was parked in a rather dry spot. Nice job bringing this baby back to life!
For sure! I wish the paint was a little healthier on the roof and hood but most of it faired well. Thanks!
Had one in college. Same color, with tan/brown interior. Always loved that car.
Amazing job mate, congratulations. You have restored the glow without removing the scars :)
Hello from Holland 💖
I showed this to my cat
He didn't understand it. He’s a cat.
Arsyl katten begrijpen dat niet
what a stupid cat :/
Leer jouw kat gewoon Engels, vinden ze leuk.
Wa un kat
Beetje matig weer dit...
Nice job. A great start on bringing the car back to life. You gave the next owner a great foundation to work from. Amazing it weathered the years so well! 👍
I watched the 89 jetta how a bit of effort makes such a difference good man nice to see keep up the good work...respect man...respect
I remember when my parents bought a new diesel Jetta in the summer of 1985. It was silver. They had it for years. The interior of this car brought back memories of family trips. So nice to see this car being cared for. Keep up the nice work.
Great work. I am glad that there are people who actually save and repair things, and not throw them away.
Nice job! These old Jettas are great drivers, designed to drive, not to look at. Very ergonomic, easy access to front, back and trunk. The range of view to the outside while driving is outstanding with minimal obstruction to a 360 degree view. Very stable at high speeds. I think the speedo goes to 130 mph and they will go that fast. Nothing fancy and "just enough to do the job" German engineering and quality. Great cars. If I could only drive one car for the rest of my life, this model of Jetta would be at the very top of my list. Not sure about the diesel version as I never owned one....
The best thing about your results….. you ended with an honest car. It’s a beautiful modern classic that has been saved and preserved. Good on you!!!
Well done! I have an Golf 1.8 "engine code RP" from 1992 sitting in my workshop. It sat in a garden for four years with water ingress. I took the whole interior out, powerwashed the carpets and shampooed the seats. Now it´s stripped, waiting to be resurrected. Damn good quality! Love your wheels, here we had them on GTI´s, Golf, Jetta and Scirocco.
The sound of this thing is amazing
nah i drove a golf mk2 and trust me the only sound i ever heard was mechanic telling me to put more money into this crap..
@@Justice-qw7sj i drive an Audi Type 81 and there are no problems at all. My freind has 2 MK2s and never ever had any problem. Maybe because you need to be able to do a lot yourself
@@k.m.h.1346 LOL the car had over 200 problems.. Even if you are a mechanic and work on the car for your self, its going to cost you alot of money on parts.. Thats why i drive a Mercedes W203 now.. 😉
@@Justice-qw7sj LOL.. Good luck.
@@misfiresandflattires6874 Nah the Merceses dosent need luck.. Driving this car is a dream..
Impressive transformation for sure. Amazing what can be accomplished with a little compound and some elbow grease. Good job!
Howdy,your hard work on the car cleaning n detailing turn out really well, great job Michael.
@4:35 The clear coat is gone. The compound is absorbing into the base coat. If there were still clear coat it would create the barrier that it’s meant to do, and the compound wouldn’t stick. For this car the same or similar results could have been achieved with a quick detail wax and the speed and friction of the buffer. The compound is actually removing some of the base coat/paint, evident in the red paint picked up by the buff pad.
Ótimo trabalho! Resultado muito bom e não ficou caro!
Parabéns!!!
Great job! Very good result and it was not expensive!
Congratulations!!!
It’s always nice to own a new VW but something nostalgic about driving an older VW Jetta, they never go out of style.
Driving an old VW that came out before 1990 is great fun. Beautiful reliable cars. Driving a new one is just... meh. I own 3 old VWs, between 30 and 33 years old and I drive a Golf 7 for work. The modern Golf gives me nothing. It´s just a tool to get the work done, nothing else.
Amazing how well it turned out. About the hard start, you may need to replace the glow plugs/control relay.
i think because he does not wait at all, like in the first start video he cranked a lot because he just threw the key in start without even waiting for the light to go off
Wow. Just a good cleaning made that car look completely different great job
OMG your making me want to detail my dad's 91 Jetta diesel red also that is sitting in my shop now
I was thinking all along please remember detailing the bumpers and sidetrim.
My Golf mk2 85 also ended up having this strange black/gray/whiteish color which looks like c... the solution and result was the same as yours🙂
Nice vw thos things run forever, well the older ones. You made this jetta look very nice... I would love to own this
Very helpful info on detailing, but more to the point, great presentation!
Great little fix-up project! Far less investment in time & parts for a once-over mechanical and a detail!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a non GLI red Jetta before. That is a rare find! It came out great
I'm no professional detailer either but I was thinking you want to use a wool cover.
But yea keep it moist is what you want
Great job on that car, had no idea it would run far less clean up that well!
Great video, cleaned up nice , love all your projects, problem is I would want to keep them all. Good luck, thanks.
Where do you find all these abandoned cars and motorbikes?!
If it was closer I'd buy it instantly, love this red skittle ❤️
I agree with Finn. Whip out the seats and carpets. Give them a good soak with detergent then pressure wash and watch them come back to life. Faded black carpets respond to a light coat of matt black spray paint massaged into the pile with a stiff brush. Great video
I had a 1985 same color, 5 speed manual just like it! Man I miss that car! Great video and I just may have to go our and get me one now too! Enjoy your Jetta! They are super fun to drive and super cheap to keep! And the gas mileage is incredible from what I remember!
Pro tip , for the black plastic bumper and side trim use a heat gun to just heat the plastics enough to bring the natural oils within back to the surface , take care not to overheat any area and warp the plastic. Those 'back to black' products don't last very long.
Nicely done! If ever I'd find such a beaut, in that condition, I'd spray it with clear coat sealing all that moss etc, keeping its patina! :D
Oh sweet gotta love the vw's. I picked up a mk4 jetta from lady I work with $100 needs a slave cylinder 👍. Gonna keep it and vr6 swap my current jetta engine into it.
I always feel so sad seeing cars like this not taken care of.
Finally, washing the car the right way ,from top to bottom. Why do so many people start at the bottom? I don't get it,but i'm glad to see you doing it correctly . Nice job.
His dad has always done it that way.
Brother you totally brought that little Jetta back to life!!!! She came out amazing, whoever winds up with that, should have a sweet little daily driver!!! That should last a couple hundred thousand more miles!!!
Nice job, great little flip will make someone a nice little economical runner. Good work keep it up.
A massive improvement. You could flip her for a decent profit
from just doing that.
It cleaned up beautifully! Nice little car!
I took the time to polish my 89 tornado red coupe. After a few weeks it turned dull red again. I pretty much only polished it to prove to a few friends of mine that I could bring it back to life.
Looks great, with all the effort and time spent. Would sell quickly in California. No Smog late model Mk2. Perfect car for engine swap. Really enjoyed your content. Thanks for sharing.
You sure love those vw's!!! Nice job !!! thanx for the content.
Cracking little car, I had a 97 mk3 1.9 tdi Jetta (Vento here in the UK) and I loved it!!
I'm fixing up a 92 Jetta so this was especially nice! My interior was just as nasty, too! It's great to see the old Jetta shine, even if it's one of those stinker old rattletrap diesels.
Mike you have done a good job mate its a tidy car needs some new paint work in places but should serve somebody well for a few years
Phil in the uk
Jetta Mk2 brought me lots of beautiful memories. 😍😍😍 My father has driven a white Jetta Mk2 for many years. We travelled across the Europe and Jetta hes never disappointed us, never left us on the road. And few years ago, he decided to sell it and buy VW Passat 2020. He sold Jetta to a guy who seemed very down to earth and cool, seemed like he will keep Jetta safe, but instead of it, he made a fuking pickup truck of her. Man I was so sad and angry 😠
Thanks youtube for letting me discover this heavenly channel
😍 Glad you’re enjoying! Thanks for being a part of us!
I have owned 3 MK1 and 3MK2 and they by far are my favorite
Amazing paint recovery... very satisfying video recording, thanks for posting. Use more polishing compound, use more water from spray bottle as you go, then simply hose off residue when moving on to new panel, polishing is complete just hose off compound with lots of water water maybe wipe if you have to. Use stiff paper or cardboard when spraying product to block overspray to areas you don't want to hit.
In England I used to own a 1985 Mk 2 VW Golf CL 1300, it was the same colour ( think it’s Gambia red). It was my grandfather’s car from new. Seeing this video makes wish I still had it.
It's good to see you have another bill going it will make your channelkeep up on the little projects as well it'll make you glow up and I'll keep watching because you're hilarious and good to watch
Grear looking lil Jetta great to see every project your learning summat new
Look at the detail geek’s channel, there are some good detailing tools like the brush drill.
Awesome I had that very same car same year and color that was 14 vws ago thanks for bringing it back this was very nastagic me.
I wish you could buy a car of that quality today. We had a Rabbit diesel and it was a great car and lasted for ever.
My 91 coupe sat inside for 6yrs and looked all chalky like that , a little polish and it's poppin almost like new.
Single stage paint ftw
Your job is very important to us, the VW and Audi fans!!! Thank you!!!!
Nice job - that’ll be a great little econo-box from someone!
That Volkswagen Jetta Diesel,Gt,or Gts is starting to look good for an 1980s car once it is fully detailed inside & waxed outside bringing that shine out it will look awesome.
Incredible job👍! Well done. My only paint restoration suggestion is to substitute using a clay bar with good old fashioned Plumbers Putty!! Apply with dishwasher soap while putty removes all clear coat contamination. Then after polishing paint just glows. Btw- my first GLi went 238,000 miles. And never opened engine. LOL
@6:50 pops is bored back there, give him somethin’ to do 🤣
The jetta is sweet!!!! I have been a vw person my whole life..manuel tranny rocks! I've been detail cleaning my car interiors for many years to showroom quality regularly..I enjoy the hard work put into it..and the results are spotless everytime.
Great job, greetings from Hungary, keep going, I like your videos :)
Loving the videos man!! With the smell you have, When you pulled all the seats and had just the carpet left, you should pull the carpet out, pressure wash it. Then clean all the panels in the car with some kind of cleaner, probably bleach, or something strong like that. It would totally get rid of the smells.
They all have a story. TY once again!
Yes. The backstory is the main reason I still have my 80 Buick Regal t top. I won't part with it.
A good tip that works on those old VW plastics is mask off the surrounding paint and gently dust back and forth on the plastics with a heat gun ,not too close and don't stay in one spot too long .the results are awesome and permanent
Love the Jetta
Junior Sample Sales Special of the Week ! Good Job ! 😎👌
Just call BR-549!
What a great look! I’m going to look for your rug fixer? The one on the drill.
Looks great. Give the hood, roof and trunk a quick/cheap vinyl wrap and it’d look super clean!
Very satisfying, been a subscriber for a few month's and i love the videos. That black beetle isn't a dung beetle, it's a male Stag Beetle. Those are the horns it uses for fighting other males, there are a rare species here in Serbia. They can fly too!
I've had 2 different jettas.I had a blue wolfsburg edition that looked similar to that car and It had over 320000 miles on it when my cosin hit a deer with it .It still ran when we got rid of it,but needed a new radiator.Definitly would buy another.
Super!I have also a Jetta Mk2,1,8 16V.....1991 bought as new....
Salute and best wishess from Arad,Romania!
Used to see these a ton when I was a kid, seemed like everyone had one
Just awesome! I want one now! 🤩 I can't get a Jetta here, but i can get a VW Amazon, pretty similar.
A neighbor of mine has one, mint condition, same color, refuses to sell it...I’d drive this car everyday, love the style and reliability of this particular model.
Dern! Absolutely, they’re fun little drivers!
QUE BUEN TRABAJO AMIGO, ES ADMIRABLE 👏 TU DEDICACIÓN Y ESFUERZO POR HACER BIEN LAS COSAS, ME GUSTAN MUCHO LOS MK2 DE VOLKSWAGEN. SALUDOS DESDE CDMX MEXICO.
Future reference for smells. I learned from this older gentleman when I detailed cars for a used car lot. He would set the car out in the sun on a 90+ degree day or roll up all the windows and blast the heat and have chlorine in a cup in the cup holder and just wait a few hours. It would clean any smell out of a car within a few hours.. if not. Wait longer.
What a difference! Nice work!
A cheap hack for plastics is baby oil. Even on coloured plastic garden furniture that has oxidised, just coat it and leave it to dry in the sun. Then repeat a couple of times! The Jettas in the UK were with dark grey bumpers, not black! As an ex sprayer, use a little spray of water with the compound, it will make it easier to use - ok you get a little more splatter, but it'll make it easier!
Use wool pads on the buffer at low speed and stop around the primer. the hood got some burned spots where the paint was rubbed off.
Holy damn that cleaned up very well.
Looking good. Put those wheels on the diesel rabbit! Keep them videos coming!
She is in surprisingly good shape. Heat blowing gun is also good, to recondition the faded black plastic trims, but over time 1-2 years, they're getting faded again. I have an Mk2 Golf, from same year, and have those Avus Snowflake rims too. I think this Jetta is low on mileage, the floor mat is still fluffy. Sadly the soft type dashboard shell is getting cracked in all Mk2's, mostly on diesel ones. (due of vibration, i think). It's a very nice and worthy car anyway, and you did nice job! Greetings from middle Europe! 😄🖐
