ABANDONED For 20 Years: 1 Owner Volkswagen Rabbit GTI *Can We Make It Run?*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI hasn't been started since 2001 and has been sitting even longer. It was abandoned in a barn and we're only pulling it out because the property sold and the owners want it gone. We just need to get is running, get it cleaned up, and get it listed for sale... so, will it start?

I had to learn the CIS fuel injection from scratch today, hopefully my explanation of how it works made more sense as the video goes on... basically it just dumps fuel into the intake with no regard to fuel timing. Really hard to reconcile a system that stupid in your head, I thought it used oil pressure to spin the distributor and had some timing magic. Nope, it just splits the fuel 5 ways and sends it all the time.
Please do another video on this one.
There’s a lot more to that fuel system than what you have learned. It injects fuel into the combustion chamber not the intake.
1980s VW/Porsche mechanic here. CIS fuel injection was extremely reliable, lasted forever, gave good fuel economy, and very easy to work on. The only thing that would kill it was severe fuel contamination. Considering the other fuel delivery systems at the time (Cross Fire Injection, anyone, Computer Command Control? I was also GM trained.) CIS was far superior. They only stopped using it because the parts were expensive to produce. Many of your early fuel delivery systems "just dump fuel" into the intake so that when the intake valve opens the fuel is there already. I'm so jealous you found this, I loved those cars.
Pretty much all you needed to test the system was a fuel pressure gage with the correct CIS fittings. Fuel mixture was measured through an exhaust fitting before the cat and adjusted with a 3mm allen wench at the air flow sensor. Yes, you did need an emissions machine to properly set the fuel mixture. I had an exhaust gas analyzer at my shop before it was even a thing.
You cracked the measured side of the fuel distributor, start with cracking the intake side to test fuel delivery (top center fitting). The device you assumed was oil related is the warm-up regulator. It applies low fuel pressure to the top of the air flow meter allowing it to lift higher supplying more fuel, as it warms the fuel pressure increases reducing the lift and leaning out the mixture. There is also a cold start injector that's triggered electronically to get the car started. To test fuel delivery to the injectors, just remove the rubber boot from the air flow meter and carefully lift up on the plate. A magnet works on the center bolt.
The black box with all the braided lines is the fuel distributor. It uses internal fuel pressures to control the lift of the air flow sensor plate for warm-up and emissions. Plumbed into the side of the fuel distributor is the Frequency Valve, which is a solenoid that controls the differential pressure in the fuel distributor for emissions. Later CIS-E used an electromagnet device called the Differential Pressure Regulator..
@@gperrydawsonlll8118 It injects fuel directly behind the intake valve. Actually, carbon build up on the valves could be a problem causing poor cold running.
You should notice the injectors on these early type systems have a much nicer spray/atomisation than what came later, despite their being timed for the induction stroke of each cylinder.
Be careful, it probably has a 40-year-old timing belt.
Good thing the Mk1 VW's weren't clash timing.
Or it has a holy hand grenade rabbit in it. "Thou shall not count to 3..."
@@djapothecary "Five is right out!"
Could it have sat on shelf before that?
Non-interference motor. If it goes, you’re still alright
This is 1000% in the top ten coolest cars ever in your channel! 🎉
huh ??? what kind of drugs are you on
YES !!
I agree with you 10%!
is it really? :)
Great car, shame about the name. The Mk1 Golf GTi is a very sought after, and appreciating classic.
I am a 67 year old newly retired school teacher. I know nothing about cars and such, but I found your channel via the abandoned mini resort. While drinking my morning coffee, I found myself intently watching this entire video. Most of the time I have no idea what you are talking about, but I am enjoying your videos.😂 Thanks and have a great week! Watching from Middle Tennessee.
Lol that is awesome! I’m sure you will learn plenty from this channel!
One of my favorite videos is still JR fixing a toilet at his house.
Completely random, well edited, contains useful advice and there's plenty of can-do attitude.
The type of video that makes you stand up and go tinker with something broken after watching it.
JR puts out a good variety of videos, ranging from property purchases (and restorations) and neat older vehicle finds which he either gets running or he owns them. One of the longest running items on the channel was an Audi R8 (he has sold since finishing it) but he chronicled the entire purchasing of a dead car and resurrecting it before selling it. Took him a few years to finish and the content was fantastic. Good luck checking g out his other videos. They are mostly very interesting.
Oh Vickie. As you already know, you are in for a real treat. Once you're all caught up with the newer vidoes, then you can go back and watch so many more. He's got such an awesome on camera energy and presence. He'll probably disagree with me, but 387,000 subscribers can't be wrong. LOL
Of course YOU can make it run if its complete enough…however it is apparent that you are not familiar with the bosch CIS system
You could tell that the original owner really loved that VW.
not sure why , it's only marginally good looking but it's completely underpowered and slow!
@Hard_Right have you ever driven one of these mk1 Gti"s of this era? They're so lightweight that it Handel's amazing. It's really fun car to drive.
@@Hard_Right Everything from the era was underpowered and slow..... A modern KIA would be able to beat a sports car from that era in every metric....
@@Hard_Rightby today’s standards yes! But back then it was a pocket rocket!
@@Hard_Right Tell me what US Engine on us Highways was abel to run a whole day on full RPM without blowing of ? All US made cars on european highways are not abel to run on full trottel in more than 15 minutes . My first experiance with hunting a V8 camaro with my GTI was the camaro V8 engines blow off after 25 Minutes at 180 Km /h .... the 5,7 L V8 was beaten by a tiney 1.8 L .
Whaaat? A car video? I thought I subscribed to "this old house".
Holy cow..what a find! Hopefully you can do some more content on this. I'd much rather see this over some supercar.
J.R. These cars are in my wheel house. Let me know if you have questions. Buy it. The low H.P. rating won't mean crap after you experience the car.
Had a '84 Rabbit Diesel (Westmoreland) with a GTI steering wheel, Suspension Techniques coilovers and a Neuspeed strut tower brace. Drove like a GTI, accelerated like a VW Rabbit Diesel! Totally ridiculous but I loved it.
I owned an 84 GTI in the late 90s. Fantastic car, followed by an 87 Sciricco 16v. I wish I still had them today.
1983, I was in 11th grade. Most of you guys were not even born yet: JR, Jake, Hoovie, Alex ect. Hope she brings major $$$$. Now I feel old, lol...
If you were born in the 80's, tell me you haven't heard at least one story from some one saying "I drove away from my wedding in one of those." Or "that's the car I had when I got married." Doesn't have to be a parent, just someone in your life. Oh, and double points if it had some sort of issue told to you in great detail.
Or seen the VW TV ad "Meinen GTI" set to the Beach Boys' hit song "Little GTO"
I took my driver's license road test in one in 1982, at 16. ha ha. Well, it was a '79 and not a GTi, but still a Rabbit. We always had such a great time in that car too. Damn thing would go anywhere, my mother even driving it across a creek one time.
I absolutely HATE you right now. I'm so jealous it hurts.
@@Drew_Snydermann same
The very first hot hatch. Couple years ago I picked up a running '81 Rabbit Convertible. Full GTI package inside. It was a freaking hoot to drive. Weighs flat nothing. Big fun lifting the rear wheel.
That car is in mint condition. I wonder how he kept the mice from eating the books, wiring and seats. Thanks for the video, I'm looking forward to seeing more videos on this VW. 👍
This and a 1968 Dodge Charger I want to eventually own.
I believe I have the working, original rabbit, AM/FM radio for that car in a box in my shop. My brother had a brown diesel rabbit that he put a stereo in it. It’s not as nice as that Alpine I’m sure.
That thing is mint. I had a 1985 mk2 in HS and grew up wrenching on water cooled VWs. I’ve been on the hunt for a clean mk1 or mk2 and you found a perfect one.
Man, that rabbit is amazing. I can't wait to watch the rest if the resto and upcoming auction.
Personally I would have changed the oil filter.
God only knows what a paper element submerged in oil for at least twenty years would do.
It MIGHT start to break up when it’s put under pressure of the engine running for the first time in years.
We’re doing that today for exactly that reason ;)
Duck season…rabbit season. So good.
Actually 90 psi on that side; need the high pressure to operate the injectors properly since they aren't electric, just makes the pintles in them vibrate.
Super cool. A legend. These are worth a lot of money here in Europe. With only 100 hp (110 here) it is great to drive on winding roads. The handling is surprisingly good. I would change the timing belt due to its age.
why would low power make it fun to drive ? uro peons are always saying that about their garbage cars ... BuT iTs LiGhT , aNd NiMbLe 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ yeah its also too small and underpowered
@@Hard_Right you have to understand, in Europe, cars are taxed according to engine displacement. So, for example, you buy a big car in Germany, say an '83 Passat, prepare to pay bigger bucks in taxes compared to an '83 Golf (or Rabbit) GTI. And fuel is more expensive there, on average, twice the price per liter compared to the US. And the roads there are smaller, only marginally larger than Japanese roads, especially in towns and small cities.
@@Hard_Right Haha. Typical American reaction. Remember, It is a eighties car. An camaro or mustang crashed in the first corner.
because we have roads that are fun to drive a fast good handling car on in Europe (well the rest of the entire world compared to the straight lines of the USA) @@Hard_Right
@@kristoffermangila Notice: The taxes are similar to cars with similar engines . Dosn`t matters if you bye a brand new Passat 1. 8 L or a brand new Golf 1.8 L. Similar Engine volumes similar taxes .
I just cannot understand why these long-stayed cars need to get started right away. It does not matter if there is oil or not; the engine requires big maintenance with new O rings, gaskets, etc., before it is actually in running condition. Why not just let it be until the maintenance for it is done? It's sure it will start leaking, and there will be issues if not properly done. If the vehicle is going for sale, why not just sell it as-is so the new owner can handle things the right way?
Best find in a long time. Pretty sure that car was made in PA. Clearly the owner really loved that car. So much kit from way long ago. Nice!
It's a westy mk1...built in Westmoreland, PA
I wish I could buy it probably gonna go on BAT 2.3m haha
Bosch CIS K-Jetronic Fuel Injection....jump 30 & 87 to run the fuel pump, which puts out 90psi.
After you guys get everything sorted, I hope the original owner can have one last ride before it goes for sale, and it can be recorded.
Oh he definitely will 👌🏼
Love those Gen 1 GTIs. Had an '84 back in the 90's out in Bezerkeley. Made in the US 🤩🥳
Fun fact: The German/European version had a 1.6 liter engine with 110 horses up to '82 and a 1.8 liter with 112 horses until '84.
Reason for the low output in the US was the emissions system.
That car looks like a keeper. Would not sell it 😥
You have to figure those horsepower numbers aren't that bad, many of the V6s and some V8s didn't put out much more than that back then. GM's 5.7L diesel didn't make much more, although it had more torque. I had a friend with an 82 Cutlass Diesel with that V8 and I remember him being unable to keep up with a UPS truck one day. They detuned everything in the 70s to help fuel economy after the oil embargo, and as you said reduce emissions. That power level in a small, light Rabbit was probably respectable back then, maybe not so much today. Nice little cars.
@@mikelemoine4267 I didn`t know how mutch L fuel the US made GTI`s took for 100 Km distance ? I drove my GTI roundabout 100 Km with 7 L Fuel .... without driving boaring !
@@wolfgangemmerich7552 I looked it up, and the fuel economy as 9.4L/100km city and 6.25L/100 km highway and 8.1L/100km average. Car & Driver magazine tested a 1983 model and returned slightly better than the average cited above during what they called hard driving (lots of full throttle runs). They also said the US model was de-tuned slightly from the German ones and a bit heavier by 64kg (unsure of reasons), but still faster than some V8 "muscle cars" of the era. The US really de-tuned the V8 engines back then to limit fuel consumption. It was funny as they still offered multiple sizes of V8s, but the biggest and most powerful was still weaker than the smallest offering was in the 1960s before the fuel embargo of the 1970s. It was a waste of time and resources to offer all of those engines when they could have changed the carburetor and camshaft on the smallest one to have the varying performance levels. Factories don't like to change production styles I suppose, even if it means inefficiencies!
I'd kill to have that thing!
Check the timing belt while you are at it; It is certainly due because of age.....
This is something Scotto from @hoonigan would probably want.
That's great and all, but is it really "ABANDONED" if it's in someone's garage, next to their house?? Asking for a friend...
Even having lived my early formative driving years in the late 70's-early 80's when horsepower was more accurately called slothpower, I still shake my head at the 90 HP or 100 HP ratings that these engines back then had. That being said, the styling of the Mark 1 Golf/Rabbit was on point. Guigaro really knew what he was doing. Yes, it was two boxes, but nicely proportioned boxes with styling that belied the basics of the vehicle.
It may have had only 100HP but the car only weighed about 2500 pounds. I had a 1981 Scirocco and they were fun to drive with a manual transmission
Unfortunatly the US made GTI´s was made with a lot of enviromental ,, silencers" . The european GTI`s didn`t have power steering , aircondition ... automatic gearing ... bud 110 HP from the first 1.6 L ,, EG " engine & 112 HP from the last MK1 1.8 L ,, DX" engine and a weight of 880 KG . This GTI`s was the worst nightmares for Mercedes , BMW & Porsche on small european village country roads.
for the $$$ this car could bring in on a sale, it is worth putting $2K+ into some maintenance, detailing, paint correction, etc. it is a total diamond in the rough
I have owned over 50 MK1's and still own an 83 GTI. If you were closer, I would be chewing your pant leg off to sell it too me. That car has the potential to be worth $20k+ if you guys bring it back up to great condition. Don't skimp on the resto and put it on Bring a trailer. You will be shocked at what it's worth. Keep us posted on the progress. More old liquid VW's please.
I had a 79 (real MK1 with the round lights) and thats the first of my cars that I rebuilt from the ground up with a blueprinted 2.0l n/a engine. I used to kill 5.0 Mustangs with that car! Was a real gem and I miss it to this day.
My friend bought his GTI in '83 brand new. I remember the ad for it stating 0-50mph in 7.2 seconds.
I learned how to drive a manual in a red VW Rabbit while I was in high school in the mid 80’s. Cool to see again.
My first car was a 79 Rabbit!! Damn this one hits home.. so many memories of me and my pops working on the car.. the 79 ended up being trash so we got a 1980 Rabbit and combined the best parts from both cars to build 1 good one. I was a 16yr old poser I made it look like a GTI Black with red trim..haha.. great vlog JR...
14:10 ~ And then reeving the hell out of it on the first start up. This is armature hour here folks. Replace the oil and filter, disconnect the coil and turn the engine over for a brief time in several increments. Get the oil around the engine and give the engine a good rest in-between each start to coat and soak up the new oil. Starting with premium gas is a good idea too.
Love that car! Had an ‘81 diesel L rabbit in high school. Slowest car I’ve ever driven but the most fun.
This is awesome. When I first started working, my dad let me drive his diesel '79 Rabbit that was brown with a beige interior and a hand crank moonroof, and I absolutely didn't care how slow it was. I loved that thing! My dad would bring jet fuel home that was used for the turbines in the power plant he worked at, and that's what we'd fuel up the car with. Never had to go to a gas station. 😂
That mint low mileage one owner GTI should bring big, big, big money on BaT or Cars & Bids.
Did you check the Air Filter? I have seen completely clogged air filters, due to rodents.
You need a set of 4 Car Wheel Dollies!
When I first opened my VW shop in 92 I had a friend come over with a 84 VW GTI 16V that was in mint condition. He let me drive it and it was a freaking race car. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Never forget that. That one is just a 8 valve with cis mechanical sensor plate that when air lifts the sensor plate opens the injectors. They also used the same cis on early Porsche and mercedes. They are finiky as hell when they set.
Yes, CIS (aka Bosch K-jetronic) is sensitive to non-use. When it is working correctly and used regularily it is reliable.
Wow, I bought one of these new in 83, Same color and interior. It was quick for the day, but ran out of gear after 85 mph. many folks put the standard golf 5th gear to gain better cruising, It was a great autocrossing car and a lot of fun to drive in the back roads of NC. Great car.
Sounds ideal for autocross, I’ll bet it handled like a go kart. So was fifth gear in the rabbit gti very short then?
@grantmills4184 yes, 4000 rpm at 70, red line high 80's. Great for small autocross courses. There used to be an autocross run in Eastern NC on an old runway, about 1.5 miles. The cars with higher gears would run by me.
@@schmidt28117 that sure is some short gearing! I'm sure it at least felt like it pulled fairly hard. Eastern NC seems like the kinda place a car like that would do best, with lots of mountain backroads for it to push it's handling to the limit. More of a momentum car I suppose
What!!!! My first car in 1996 was a 91 Golf and have only owned VW's since. Now have an 18 GTI. Needless to day I am hooked on this journey. Wow!!! VW enthusiasts minds are blown right now.
I had an 84 Rabbit GTI in black with the blue interior back in the late eighties. Don't forget those came with a great "close ratio transmission", very fun to drive.
Amazing job and great find
Betting you or Jonny will be buying this, maybe?
👌🇬🇧😎🇺🇸🤘m-E-m
Man that is a cool car, I had a Scirocco and loved it! A note about Bosch CIS, it is electro-mechanical. There is a fuel pump by the tank, it then pressurizes the fuel to the injectors. Fuel metering is done through the fuel distributor. When you open the throttle a vane opens which in turn increases fuel delivery to the injectors. It gets a bad rap but is a very simple and efficient system. I would bet that fuel distributor needs rebuilt as does the control pressure regulator. I would contact CIS flowtech and send them in for a refurb.
I had an '80 Scirocco 'S'...I really miss that little car. I stored mine at my parents' house when I was in the Navy. I came back and had all sorts of fuel injection issues. I drained the tank and flushed it. Finally I took it to the local VW/Porsche dealer, and they installed a new fuel distributor. Ran fine for a while but began sputtering and stalling intermittently. I gave up and got rid of the car, damnit! It might not have had tons of power, but that was one of the funnest cars to drive into and out of corners. It had Recaro seats, if I recall. I could ramble on forever about that car.
I had the S model as well, was white with the air damn, the go fast stripes, sunroof, everything but AC which made it really easy to work on, but not so much fun when I moved to Arizona. I had it for 10 years, it was very reliable and practical. At around 280K miles it met the end of its life when it started to blow out seals on the oil filter. I pulled the pan and found the thrust washers inside. I gave it to a friend, but he did nothing with it and it got towed. I still have never forgiven him for that.@@johnhenderson3646
I had an 84 in the same color. I want this car!
This is an amazing car! I would love to see that cleaned up! Thank you for sharing!
Wow prob a new fuel pump and it will sorted! Lovely condition nice one John Ross !
I want another GTi SO BAD!!!!
Cool find!!
It is an icon from the 80's.
BTW what is the worst place to put your wrenches?
over you battery!!!
jajaja!!!
I hope this makes it on Bring a Trailer. It will come home to my garage...
Probably Cars and Bids since BaT Is backed up for months, but it will 🍻
@@WatchJRGoPlease let us know about the time the auction goes live. This is one heck of a video and a barn find!!
Now that you’ve cracked the line open you’ll need new sealing washers. Replace the filter too. Replace the timing belt too.
Don't need to even let the video start to say.... Oh hell yes!!! I do wish it was White but... well... LET'S WJRG this today! Screw doing any work.
is it for sale. I have a guy I know of Scotto, that would definitely take it off your hands
Will be soon, once we get it all sorted 👌🏼
Amazing clarity in the headlamps and all of the lens covers on the car.
It'll shine brightly once detailed.
Wuv Wabbits. ❤
The headlights are all sealed beam so there wouldn't be any of the modern issues with them
@ammonyc WHERE ARE YOU!!
That series of Volkswagen window was known to come out of the channel in cold weather. The glass would freeze to the outer belt on the door. When the window was cranked down, the glass would come out of the channel. Glass installers would use the urethane windshield adhesive to glue them into the channel.
A car ? Here ?
The untouched plastic sheeting behind the door card tells the tale. This thing could go for 50k easy.
No disrespect to all the other cars you’ve worked on, this is my favorite car on the channel. It looks so good, clean…original (mostly). Great content JR.
”Tilt it just a hare!” 🤣haha get it?!
My '83 GTI would start, but not rev. 2 months at 3 shops couldn't find the problem. Admitting defeat, I had it towed to a Volkswagon dealer. They called me in about 2 hours to tell me the fuel line from the tank to the engine compartment was rusty and had collapsed inside, reducing fuel flow to a trickle.
They replaced the fuel line and that thing ran better than ever!! Oh, they changed the fuel filter too, no charge!!!!!
The top end of the engine was probably bone dry. I would’ve at least poured some Marvel Mystery Oil through the spark plug holes overnight before even cranking 🤦♂️
Ahhhh.....all is right with the world. JR is working to get an old car running!
I hope you realise by cracking that nut they use a (0ne time) crush washers that must be replaced to vacuum seal the fuel system. This is why people have trouble starting these cars. Air pushes all the fuel back into the tank and must be forced out again to the injector pump during a very long crank...
I bought an 84 brand new. An excellent car! I only sold it because it was a bit too small for long legs. I wish I had kept it.
An old car barnfind in a pretty immaculate and clean barn????? Righto............................
Legitstreetcars would have done it the right way and oiled the cylinders! Shame on you JR. Ehhh not my car !
I grew up with theses... i love them ... I've had more than a few and ... in our family many ... great cars so much fun to drive ... I love little hot hatches... currently we have a 2013 500 Abarth and a 2002 Peugeot 106 GTI both have some serious work done and are animals... I also have 01 Prelude with 54,000 miles ... a 91 and a 93 ls400 each have around 120,000 miles ... a 88 lx 5.0 with 50,000 mile and a few others.... And JR .... been a subscriber since the beginning.... car stuff building stuff tech stuff doesn't matter what .... you make great content.... keep it up!
This brings back some memories! A🎉 diesel Rabbit was the first car I spent a lot of time in. My Dad drove a couple back in the mid 80s. He was a *big* guy but happily drove those tiny, slowwww diesels for the 40~50mpg they got. He ran them over 300k miles before letting them go.
The ignition buzzers on those sounded just like this one, and the keys were just the same too :) Thanks for this!
9:15 is this the approved way of destroying an engine which has been sitting for 20 years? no new fluids, no new petrol system and independent tank, no hoses cleaning....
Aside from the disco 🕺 era sound track. That engine was smooth. One of my favorite OG retro hot hatches. Owned 3x GLi’s from ‘86 to 92 16v. The best.
Well.. this makes me miss my 82 rabbit now.. dammit i thought i was over it :(
Looks like it was stored away in a garage, not abandoned in a barn. Definitely not a barn find. Click bait much.
NOW THAT IS COOL 😎= Volkswagen are really good cars actually; they don’t get enough credit i feel
*sigh* I fell in love with my 78 Rabbit, when it died, a 78 Scirocco literally fell into my parking space… The previous owner bought a new car, and rolled it into my (then) unused parking space, where I found it and left an offer to buy it under the wiper. Drove that little beauty for 10 years. Then it had… Issues that couldn’t find time to deal with. Last month I finally admitted it was beyond salvage and sent it off for burial.(the doors were in terrible shape when I got it, and the floors were “reinforced” with aluminium traffic signs).
back with vw made fun cars. unlike now.
👍
I would like to buy,what's your asking price
The red interior is so rare in those rabbit 🐇 GTI's specifically in that condition literally brand new condition.
Well at least the dry fuel system gave the oil pump time to prime the extra dry bearing while it cranked for a minute or 2.
That car should be kept in a museum, honestly. Unicorn status!
Those were the start of the hot hatch thing and pretty zippy in their day with that around 100hp like you said. My 95 Neon Highline had 135 back when every other small car had around 100. I had fun surprising other small cars contemporary to it because of the HP advantage and it was as fun to drive as that car probably is.
ooooooooh a "highline" nEoN 😂 were you a hairdresser or a waitress?
It was originally my Lil sisters car and it was a 2 door so a sporty little car. I told her the options to get, 2 door, wider tires, and a auto so she didn't have to learn how to drive a manual.
She kept it till 150k and sold it to me to buy a 06 Charger RT.
You should get out more and stop trolling people.
@@Hard_RightAre you 12?
The top portion of the fuel distributor probably needs to be rebuilt. Injectors need to be cleaned.
Glad it didn’t fire right away so the oil pump had a chance to put oil up in the top of the engine, which should have been done to begin with.
I almost didn't watch the video! I'm do jealous! Love those cars
I bought the m18 and nothing compares. Airs tires up from flat in less than a minute. Get you one!
Regardless of what it sells, I would daily that beauty.
That thing is gorgeous
I had an 83 MK1 Rabbit GTI. Completely regret selling it. Fun little car.
40 years of dirt acts like special cover to the paint like ceramic paint protection lol 😂😅
I had an 84' white GTI, great car!!
This is an awesome car. What a time capsule. Curious though why you covered the name of the battery with blue painters tape?
Three minutes into this, and I couldn’t help but think I’m stupid this is
