To be honest it would be nice if they didn't keep doing kei cars and nuggets. I liked when they did the kei truck builds and hilux and took them off road. The brumby build was a breath of fresh air. Everything else seems like rehashing old ideas.
Moog and Marty, this comment will probably end up lost somewhere, but I just want to say thank you. You have taught me so many things, ignited my passion for DIY and provided such excellent entertainment. Huge thanks and cheers from Finland ✌🏻
One of the most inspirational quotes you made during this journey is "Doing something only if it makes sense is a very limited way of viewing the world." I'm paraphrasing that, but thank you for that quote.
words cannot describe the love i have for this build. costs be damned - it's just too satisfying to see a project with a clear and focused vision come to life. i bet this will feel great to drive.
@@bwickham195 TBF removing airbags (and plugging them back in) always gives me the heebie-jeebies...esp since I owned one of those 'take your eye out' Takata ones...
@@ad_fletch tbf, if you're doing it on an old car, chances are that airbag wouldn't go off in an accident, let alone when you're removing it while working on the car.
Easy, so you can press the paddle while turning on tight mountain passes corners, with the puny stock paddles is almost impossible to so. I would rather drive a manual, but most new VAGs with higher trims/engines variants are DSG only nowadays... So to be able to at least use the paddles properly is a welcome feature that doesn't come stock.
Miles and Tuning Fork are so good at what they do, they are not only Brilliant People, but Genuine and Kind. Would be an honor to call them a "Friend" for sure👍
Thank you for uploading! Been watching all the GTI videos and now I am starting my build. Got 034 turbo inlet, cobb intake and tune, and GFB DV+ bolted on.
Moog and Marty, I stumbled across this channel about a month ago when I saw you bought an up! - I had the Skoda variant as my first car (Citigo), base model with absolutely nothing in it. The GTI was always my dream attainable car and I picked one up in February with my dream spec and I was beyond happy, I love these cars and I’m so glad to see little bits from my car on an older up - it’s just amazing!! Love from Northern Ireland ❤️🇬🇧
Im so glad Moog got this sorted. Watching this series feels like watching the Mini all over again. You can feel how much he has wanted to get it completed and the smile on his face at the end really backs it up

Boys, your commitment to nuggetry is unparalleled, the fact that this build makes no financial sense doesn’t matter when your making something that doesnt exist where you are. Two specky thumbs up from me 👍🏻👍🏻
We have an up! in the family and we love it. Always wondered how cool it would be with a bit more mumbo from the 3 cylinder. Awesome job on the gti conversion.
Lads, life got in the way, I also bought an AMG which needed zero doing to it. So I was out of the MCM loop for a year. Then an odd thing happened. I realised fannying about with cars was integral to my life, started watching you guys again, chucked the AMG, and bought a 32yo nugget to restore. I might not be full-sleeper-izing this car, but you guys are SOOO enthusiastic, thanks for helping inspire people like me. This will be my 3rd modded car, all done on the drive, since watching you guys since 2018.
The 35th subscriber, Andrew, from Unicorn Circuit is an absolute Legend! He provided the piece that made this 100% ! And ladies look out, Miles is like a VAG wizard!
So its basically a bolt- in- conversion :) The UP! is not an MQB car because its just way to small for that. Any conversion bigger than the 3- cylinders it comes with and you have to cut away alot from the car to make it work. The UP! GTI is expensive here in germany, but its a fun tiny little hot hatch :)
Loved this, the makes-no-sense build, combatting the obstacles, and most of all, seeing you people work together 👍 Thanks once again for the video ❤ Cheers for southern Finland ;)
What a massive miles-stone!! 😏 At the end of the video you can feel the sense of relief and emotion after all the issues had been resolved and the key is turned. Never give UP!
This channel is great. Humble, down to earth with personality. And unlike other channels (from the states (coughtavarish)) you actually finish projects. Great channel, thanks
We dont build our cars to make financial sense, its all about the journey of owning something that puts a smile on your face and you will look back at everytime you park it. Love this series guys!Thanks for not giving up and fighting this thing all the way.
This is so far from the early days of cramming iPads into old nuggets. I watch a lot of professional mechanic channels (not modifying.. Just repair stuff) and it's crazy watching the boys do basically dealership quality work. Well done👏
This has been an awesome Journey! I don't know if you'll see tbis comment, but I found you guys back when you released Turbo's and Temples 1 and I've been following ever since! You guys inspired me to import my current JDM hatchback! Thanks for being so genuinely honest in every video you make, its one of the many reasons I come back. Much love from BC, Canada!
I love seeing others at their happiest brings me the only little joy I have left in life thanks for making content for all these years. Watching you guys keeps my mind at bay.
There's nothing like the feeling of a completed project. Be it small or large, those moments of just sitting back and looking at what you've done, and those first test drives.
Taytay and 2 Sexy will always be the golden age of MCM for me, but being an FD RX-7 lover to the core of my being, I obviously can't wait for Marty's FD build to kick off.
Ah man I am so happy to see this nugget running! I now the trials and tribulations you've been through well, it's excellent to see it turn out so perfectly!
Always appreciate you guys showing the entire process warts and all - I blew a fuse when installing an amp behind my head unit last month and felt so stupid. You guys having the same thing happen helped soothe my ego 🙌
From the start I have understood this one. I have owned a Camry All-Trac since 2010. The original plan was to cram a 3S-GTE into it, now I am putting together parts to install a 2.7 from a Highlander or Venza. It's a low-value car that most wouldn't look at twice, but it's a load of fun to drive courtesy of the rally car suspension crammed under the rear end and I love it for its nuggety goodness.
MCM has been pure inspiration for me, since way back in the early days when I didn't know how to change my wiper blades, and years later I do all major servicing and repairs on my own cars, recently picked up a Renault Twingo II for a second car, RS? nope... bog standard 1.2 16v and its my favourite nugget, so easy to work on, and it certainly made me appreciate simplicity, because its sooo slow you get to use 100% of the car and its super fun.
As an up tsi owner, it’s great to see it being recognized by you guys and turned into what it is now, but it actually isn’t the first in the world, in Brasil there are some gti converted ups, since we have the 4 door turbo version and the 2dr NA one too. There is a guy, Tawer Rosa, owner of Tork One who built a 1.4 TSI 4cyl in an up and it is ridiculous! This company has 300+ hp UPs! That’s insane
Just so you know, since we don't have supercheap autos, or any other big auto shop here in France, each time you tell us about a nice thing you got there it makes me cry. I hope you're proud of yourself
Always makes me happy that you lads not only champion little nuggets like these, but stick the projects out to the bitter end. Marty's Mira was the same. Enjoy it!
I could be talking out of the wrong orifice, but I thought the majority of project cars went way over the actual value of the original car itself. Sure it's been frustrating and expensive, but I think for those that do this kind of thing, it's a lifestyle. Well done on sticking with this project.
10:20 pretty cool seeing the unimig welder there, work as a storeman for them, i always find it weird seeing them on shelves at stores and in other videos
Serious perseverance on this one Moog but the smile as you plant your foot and the nugget flies off the roundabout was clearly worth the effort! Can't wait to see the upcoming mods🤞you have the gti bumpers to complete the exterior look!
Been there done that lol.... I have a 21 year old truck that I wanted Android Auto in.... so after cutting out the dash for a few hours, I now have a nice double din as head unit as well.... and it's connected to the ODBII port for truck stats when out on the trails.
Flappy paddle shifters are better when bigger while under spirited driving conditions. And it looks good. I've not installed it on mine, because i hate tape as a means of fixing stuff to my car...
Wooow. This car has been a true Mighty Car Mods journey with all of its resistance and blood, sweat and tears. It really is not an easy task to modify anything german. 😄 Thank you for this content. It has been really interesting. I hope you don't have to do this again anywhere in near future. 😄 It has seem to be such a headache.
I don't have paddle extensions on my Mk7.5 Golf R, but I want them. My reason is in really tight turns you can end up with crossed arms with your hands at 9+3 where the paddles are. The car will upshift for you at redline, but I'd rather upshift at 5500. Paddle extensions make it so you can reach the paddles with your hands anywhere between 2-4 and 8-10. Not a huge difference, but a slight hand shift and you can click up a gear. I completely agree they look awful bad, that's the main reason I haven't installed them.
5:29 It's because when youre daily driving late to work - coffee in one hand and toast in the other, and your knee's steering that flatt bottom wheel, and youre in a corrner, mostly roundabouts, you can still snap a comfortable 2nd/3rd/4th up or down-shift with thattop part of the paddle extender. Peeps with this mod kno! mk6GolfR S2+
Blown fuse .... Not "Everything Bang" as a choice with the head unit, Moog? 😉 Also with the paddles, likely so people with different driving styles can still properly use them. I position my hands on the wheel a bit differently to most other drivers, so too small paddles in a stock position would annoy me.
Yeah, I heard this too. It sounded like it was clipping. I was watching at 2x speed which seemed to make it more noticeable. I'm not sure if it was the same for you too. All the live Mic audio seemed to clip. The voice-over audio was fine though.
Extending paddles makes it easier to locate them when grinding at the wheel. Some high-end cars have the paddles fixed to the column. That way, the paddles are in the same position regardless of the steering wheel & easily locatable.
So happy for you Moog...this little German engineered rocket has fought you all the way, but I'm glad you finally got it sorted (even thou it cost you a small fortune and many grey hairs). Big props to all the talented friends who helped along the way 👏
Moog im just watching topgear first ep, seems like your the only one thats not faking it or putting on a act for the camera, you seem a natural....I only miss the parts of you trying to drive a left hand drive supercar for the first time.....I can just Imagine how you and Marty would have produced it.......great voice overs to......definatly toned down from MCM haha
I'm not a mechanically minded dude, but have always loved watching these guys. Inspired me to just do what you want and Who gives a shit what anyone thinks, so I went out and bought a nugget Abarth 595 Comp and love how stupid it is! Thanks boys for the inspiration!
I have done the same thing 3 years ago, with GTI dashboard, rain sensor , GTI brakes and much much more . I can say I changed everything on the car , and it makes 156 hp on a stage 3
Man I will buy a vw up 2013 white for a *cheap* price and I just want to improve performance. How much it will cost me to do such covertion If I just find the parts needed and done it from a professional? Thanks
Congratulations! While I didn’t import an UP! I have done similarly silly things to resurrect my first car (a GTI). Locally it’s worth 3 to 4 times less than what I spent. Yeah worst monetary investment made…but best investment in smiles per miles. Can’t stop grinning every time the engine fires or a corner appears.
Man idk why they audio in this one sounds like it was recorded on cheap earbuds. I know Moog (Marty too) are audio guys so I don't think it was negligence on their part.. but it is rough to listen to. THAT SAID... I stuck it out and it was so cool to see this little klumpen (German for nugget) get put together. Thanks again as always for the awesome content, guys-- Cheers!

there's like 3 roads in Australia that won't wreck a supercar 😅

words cannot describe the love i have for this build. costs be damned - it's just too satisfying to see a project with a clear and focused vision come to life. i bet this will feel great to drive.
As a manual VAG commander, I believe the reason for the DSG paddle extensions is 'because racecar'
And that is, let's not forget, always a perfectly valid reason.
@@bwickham195 TBF removing airbags (and plugging them back in) always gives me the heebie-jeebies...esp since I owned one of those 'take your eye out' Takata ones...

We all need a friend like Miles who will push through that last 10% of a project to get it 100%
One advantage of Moog is not worrying about copyright on music that plays when testing things like carplay
Because RUclips AdSense is garage and they make there money mostly from sponsorships anyway.
And there Merch. Buy a shirt
@@joe_ferreira…no. Because it’s his music
@@joe_ferreira they make most of their money from merch sales
I am not sure whats wrong with youtube but I already double posted about merch after my first post. I can't see any of these replies lol
Miles and Tuning Fork are so good at what they do, they are not only Brilliant People, but Genuine and Kind. Would be an honor to call them a "Friend" for sure👍
MCM is the only car channel that is not only helpful but very relatable and entertaining. Thanks for the content guys! ✌🏼
Enough capital to drop 10-50k on a project every few months and having better-than-expert connections to help? Wow so relatable.
It's mad I have seen more up gti on the road here in Scotland since you did this build! They are a lovely looking wee car.

5:51 So you can shift gears on corners and in a wider variety of grips
This channel is great. Humble, down to earth with personality. And unlike other channels (from the states (coughtavarish)) you actually finish projects. Great channel, thanks
The little switcheroo at 8:38 killed me 😂
Something about the MCM boys finishing a project and seeing the pure joy on their faces is truly enjoyable.

What a project. I’m sure the more it threw up issues, the more determined you were to see it through. Great job 👏🏼👏🏼
The extended paddle shifters are vast majority aesthetics but in a very rare circumstance when youre turning help for changing gears.
This has been an awesome Journey! I don't know if you'll see tbis comment, but I found you guys back when you released Turbo's and Temples 1 and I've been following ever since!

There's nothing like the feeling of a completed project. Be it small or large, those moments of just sitting back and looking at what you've done, and those first test drives.
This has to be my favorite MCM car. 2 door sti Impreza is a tight second. Can’t wait for mods and some official GTI badges. Badges people.
Taytay and 2 Sexy will always be the golden age of MCM for me, but being an FD RX-7 lover to the core of my being, I obviously can't wait for Marty's FD build to kick off.
Still love me my Supergramps and Levorg, and the endurance Perodua lol.
This Up GTI is definitely up there
It needs the facelift bumpers and GTI sideskirts too. I love that it's ready to accept some mods.:D
A guy in Brazil just put a EA888 (golf GTI) engine on an Up TSI. With the DSG and everything.
He is already driving it. Epic!

You did it because no one would. We love you for that. Thanks
As a flog I loved this series!
I have a 07 vw eos 2.0 with some work thanks to a sponsorship with ECS tuning. Cant wait to get another vw.
I love the paddle extenders, I can have my hands at 10 and 2 rather than 9 and 3. They are so much easier to use than the small factory buttons.
Moog-“here’s some straight talk no cap”😎
This was amazing. I hope we see your UP more in the future. I love your passion for it.
I don't like VAG stuff but I love this series! Seeing you guys succeed against all odds is amazing!
Just so you know, since we don't have supercheap autos, or any other big auto shop here in France, each time you tell us about a nice thing you got there it makes me cry.
I hope you're proud of yourself
You are in Europe, you have 20 countrys within 1 hr flght from you just order everything online and have it delivered
Man... what a battle. It's one of many reasons I'm not a fan of euro cars, but huge props to MCM for making it work.
Car becomes your personality and you get to know everything about the car . It's in our blood to do projects like this💪🇩🇪
Always makes me happy that you lads not only champion little nuggets like these, but stick the projects out to the bitter end. Marty's Mira was the same. Enjoy it!

This is what it’s all about, this is the journey for this car. It’s fantastic that it’s all together now.
CONGRATS! i know this was a tough one and she fought the whole way, glad to see you getting to enjoy the new nugget.
Bloody epic build guys, epic effort and props to everyone involved. Thanks for bringing us along.
Vdubs man, fight you every step of the way. Congratulations Moog! enjoy the crazy UP!
what a series guys! congrats!! it was awesome to watch everything come to life in this build!

So... are we supposed to ignore the Snoopy mobile in the back at 6:22 ??
Well spotted
Wanted to comment this haha
the face whilst revving the completed Up GTi on the road, legally of course : priceless!
Serious perseverance on this one Moog but the smile as you plant your foot and the nugget flies off the roundabout was clearly worth the effort! Can't wait to see the upcoming mods🤞you have the gti bumpers to complete the exterior look!
Yes the GTI UP is finished can't wait to see the next video for cool upgrades.
I've got a nuggetty kei car now and
I ❤ it.
The masking and marking around the 11.45 mark... Yeah, love that. Cool idea. Worth remembering. I have a shit memory tho, so screenshotted it.
Been there done that lol.... I have a 21 year old truck that I wanted Android Auto in.... so after cutting out the dash for a few hours, I now have a nice double din as head unit as well.... and it's connected to the ODBII port for truck stats when out on the trails.
Fantastic work! The resilience and awesomeness definitely shined through in this journey of a build
Not stonks.
Kidding, love the car, the work and effort that’s gone into is it superb. 👌🏻

The difficult builds are sometimes the most rewarding. Good stuff! 😎👍
This project has been such a wicked expedition to watch. Much love from NS, Canada
always love seeing a project build finally get completed and driven and enjoyed.

Also with the paddles, likely so people with different driving styles can still properly use them. I position my hands on the wheel a bit differently to most other drivers, so too small paddles in a stock position would annoy me.
Miles has the patience of Jobe, great work guys!
Surprised the audio seemed blown out a bit in the intro. Very rare. Loved this video guys.
Yeah, I heard this too. It sounded like it was clipping. I was watching at 2x speed which seemed to make it more noticeable. I'm not sure if it was the same for you too. All the live Mic audio seemed to clip. The voice-over audio was fine though.

Great "Miles"tone guys 🤘 Epic result!
Extending paddles makes it easier to locate them when grinding at the wheel.
Some high-end cars have the paddles fixed to the column. That way, the paddles are in the same position regardless of the steering wheel & easily locatable.
That smile on Moog's face at the end says it all.
the up turbo is class, small boosted cars are the best fun you can have, on a tight twisty b road, you cant beat it.
With such a detailed build, you should do something to hide the holes of the old paddles, maybe just a 3D printed cap or something like that
What a beautiful story about the power of friendship and over coming obstacles, perseverance and reaching the goal together 👍😎
So happy for you Moog...this little German engineered rocket has fought you all the way, but I'm glad you finally got it sorted (even thou it cost you a small fortune and many grey hairs).
Big props to all the talented friends who helped along the way 👏
I am a Golf owner with paddle extenders. They are colour coded to the accent colour in the interior and look great, almost stock. And it ads 50 bhp...
I had extensions on my Mustang because the factory paddles were a bit too short for my hands. IMO, it also adds a bit of flare that I liked.
You just wrinkled my brain. I never thought of taping the bits together so you dont lose them.
Ha,now it’s time to spend some money 😂will be a great little run around 🎉love the channel and keep it up boys,cheers 👌🍻🍻

I have done the same thing 3 years ago, with GTI dashboard, rain sensor , GTI brakes and much much more .
I can say I changed everything on the car , and it makes 156 hp on a stage 3

oh finally we can see Up convertion on the roads!
Congratz bruh!!!
Congratulations! While I didn’t import an UP! I have done similarly silly things to resurrect my first car (a GTI). Locally it’s worth 3 to 4 times less than what I spent. Yeah worst monetary investment made…but best investment in smiles per miles. Can’t stop grinning every time the engine fires or a corner appears.
Man idk why they audio in this one sounds like it was recorded on cheap earbuds. I know Moog (Marty too) are audio guys so I don't think it was negligence on their part.. but it is rough to listen to. THAT SAID... I stuck it out and it was so cool to see this little klumpen (German for nugget) get put together. Thanks again as always for the awesome content, guys-- Cheers!
Massive effort guys well done !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
Got mine about a week ago, fantastic car, congrats on your build Moog
