Love these videos, just bought a golf 3 from late 97 because you inspired me. Im only 16, and taking an mechanic education Love your vids, here from Denmark
Thanks lot for the kind words, all the best for your education, confidence is key always try and push yourself to learn new things. sending good luck to you!
Just bought 1999 2.0L Wolfberg edition. 136k on clock. Never modified. Lots of surface rust and destroyed sills. But drives great and looking forward to restoring! Cheers from Canada
@@Project7YT Yes euro model, Recaro in black with green,blue and red cloth centres, plus stickers on the rear quarters and a really nice metal 'gti edition' badge in the side trims.
cool vid mate. very interesting. I have a mk3 vr6 it's on the road but a project as needs lots of work. but this vid has given me more inspiration. I'm so glad I saved it from being scraped.
I’m from Canada. I’ve got a 1998 MK3 Porcelain Blue GTI with the 2.0 ABA. 5 spd manual. Its got power sunroof with central locking doors and manual windows. It has blue stitching on the leather steering wheel and parking brake boot. Seats are black with the blue squares, however they are not Recaros. I bought it new in ‘98 with a whopping 7kms. It now has 223,000 KMs. It’s been off the road for about 6-7 years now sitting in my garage. I’m just now starting to get her back into road worthy condition. Body is probably 98% rust free and it’s only ever seen 2 Canadian winters. Iove this car and will never sell it.
Project 7 Know what you mean. Reminds me or a Polo 6N too. I think the Kamie grille embellishment gives a very similar look. I think there's one on ebay at the moment in fact.
I have a Match Mk3, it has power steering, all 4 electric windows, central locking, new gen inst. cluster, coded key, airbags, tinted taillights, and the sportier seats, im pretty satisfied with the options, but I really wish I had a blue Color Concept it looks really good I love it!
The color concepts are my favorite , it's not a color concept but I have a jazz blue cabrio from what I've been told there's not alot of them around at least not here in the states , really love the seats in your car !!
Joker had white gauges. Only 20th Jahre and Colour Concepts had silver. Also both 20th Jahre and Colour concept were and option (and unlimited) in Europe. In Sweden for example you could buy this option to the GTI 16v and Vr6/Vr6 Syncro
Very nice video ,it was and a motorsport edition for 8v and 16v 2.0 and had the 16inch speedline from a59 and 20-30 horse up, here in Greece boulekos motorsport, they said that take a original a59 chassis from the factory ,isaw the car but didn't have seen the engine bay to see exactly if is original, some say that is a simple synchro with all the body panels from the a 59 ,I saw the car in the late 90s ,and before this period i was golf maniac ,after that i had 1 mk2 and 3 mk3,thank you for your nice video keep the culture, peace
I have a jazz blue colour concept 3 door gti with the 8valve, planning to rebuild and swap in a 16v abf I have for it. 😁 love the car and gonna keep it for ever. 👍
6:39 actually, mercedes had avantgarde option in the 190e! Very colorful, very vw like marketing, and the color concept was available on the b4 passat as well, although a bit more subtle since it was a family saloon and not called the same, but same idea, red, green, yellow (kinda iffy on that though) or black leather interiors with more paint options, or maybe i was watching it all wrong since i cant get any info on the marketplaces from europe, hopefully im right
Please help, finding information on the Mexican sold 0pel badged MK-3. Monochromatic frog green with factory projector round beams with green beam covers & body kit. Saw one on vacation in 2008
I've just imported a 1992 mk3 golf "Europe" edition. Well, when I say imported my missus got it in Musen and is driving it over here. Its so special that it has a sticker on the side that says "Europe". That's it. That's the special edition.
@@Project7YT it doesn't even have central locking electric windows or a sunroof 😂 It is a complete base model! Only thing cool about it is it was built in 91 and used as a little taxi to ferry workers around the factory untill it was given to a dealership. Only has 50k miles on it.
Great video mate! I’ve got a black 5 door Colour Concept. Getting it resprayed soon LC9Z original colour. Where did you get your headlining done? That’s another job on my list. I’m from Liverpool. Cheers.
In Australia, the Colour Concept was a VR6. Same range of colours though. I’ve got a black magic VR6 (not Colour Concept sadly) which I’m doing a bit of a rejuvenation on.
@@Project7YT Very similar to the GTI spec with heated leather and body colour inserts, body coloured gear gaiter, body coloured stitching on the steering wheel, different wheels and colour concept badges instead of VR6. Here’s a bit of info. Looks like there were very few brought in to the country. www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f47/vr6-color-concept-info-8057.html
My 1995 golf cabrio is a rolling stones edition. I am torn between making it all original and getting a custom recaro retrim. If I ever see a rolling stones sticker set for sale I might buy it and make it original. If I had the money I would love to own a colour concept or a vr6 highline
it is a tough decision i would say go with one that makes you most happy, money comes and goes but its important to hold on to hapiness and enjoy what your doing. If you wanted a retrim id be happy to help you out
I think my favourite special edition has to be between the GTi anniversary 16v, and the citystromer. I'm an all out petrol head and probably the biggest MK3 fan in the world 😂 also generally anti electric but I'd 100% love a citystromer
@@Project7YT hard to find and expensive! No where near as expensive as a city stromer though! I'm hopefully buying a 3 door pink Floyd MK3 that I'd like to do an electric conversion on
Nice video, but I've noticed an interesting thing: no one in no video on this topic ever mentioned the Boston edition of the mk3, idk if that's a thing. Mine has a Boston sticker below the Golf badge that is located underneath the tail light. Now regarding specs she's a 94, 55hp 1.4 petrol ( ABD) with a 4 spoke wheel and that's it, absolutely no other extras or options but it does have radio, heater (obviously) and a manually retractable radio antenna. So what do you think? Is it some sort of special edition or not?
I Have a 98 Ginster Yellow, MK3 GTI. I believe it's a leftover VR6 Drivers edition. As it has all leather interior with Yellow stitching. But it has a 2.0L in it. I have found little information on this spec. All i know for sure is it's unusual.
@@Project7YT Thank you, She's my baby. I plan on getting her as close to the VR6 DE spec as i can. Tho now I really want a Yellow Concept Steering Wheel!
Also; do you know anything about a rare Variant VR6 factory model? I've seen a few conversions obviously, but I once saw a Dragon Green German import for sale for silly money - ad said it was a rare GDM only factory VR6 wagon - can't find any info on them though.
@@Project7YT Good news - have had Vrs for a while 1st was David Gilmour's (Pink Floyd) they all got one in '92/93 as vw sponsored them, the rolling stones and Bon Jovi. It had no badges from factory and might have been handmade?
The Electric Mk3 CityStormer with modern day batteries would destroy anything in it's path, mainly due to its repairability, serviceability and cheapness. That is the edition i would buy immediately even without a battery cells in it.

Did Canada get recaros I know USA didn't which makes no sense at all
I’m not entirely sure however if the US didn’t then Canada most likely didn’t either. VW Canada pretty much does whatever VW USA does.
Never understood why!
My 2 favourites without doubt are the VR6 Highline & Harlequin.
You are right, your previous video saved my MK3 🙏🏼
i like your choice! the highline is one to watch out for theyll be worth so much in the future.
Thanks man im glad i saved one!!

Being a Variant fan, gotta be the Henri Lloyd Yachting for me, even though that weird rear bumper tailgate infill looks weird, kinda' want one.
