Drew is a top class HELMET..
I love that little GTI, love the color, if it was me buying it I don't think I would have touched except for a tune up and maybe a little more but that's it. Love this car!!
Why would anyone want to take the twin lights and put singles in. Does not need anywhere near 3 grand put into it. I looked for 5 minutes on the net and FOUND the exact seating pattern from heritage parts as well as the original steel wheels. Weld on a new exhaust tip and its ready. Such moaners it's a great car.
Drew bought an old black rag top VW in one salvage hunters for huge money it was Left Hand Drive, and in later episodes you can see it dusty and unused in a shed and probably rusting away. He should stick to antiques programs, he seems to have forgotten about Tee and what with Carl the electrician got rid of now buddied up with some other guy. It will all end in tears.
What a great place and unlike that annoying guy buying the car I think this scrap yard is full of awesome cars
Love 💕 you’re videos mate from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. I love the way you restore your cars.
I am writing from the home country of this golf gti....The 4 headlight grille is stock 100% .The seat fabric is currently available at Volkwagen Classic Parts ( via you Volkswagen dealership ) .This golf is priced right on the low end...Cheers.
@77MrAH evening over there...,just wanted to tell you...last saturday a care dealer in my neighbourhood sold a very clean Golf GTI mk1 ,1981,same colour , power steering, 2door, km converted into miles about 92k ,one owner car ,new mot ,full history incl.paperwork from factory to present,for 8700€- about 7440 £ .And folk here consider this a steal...enjoy your evening,Roger
A good clean would sort the seats, because they are not torn. I had one of these. Brakes were poor and clutch cables snap due to bulkhead flex. So, yh it was a poky wee hatch and good fun to drive. Its the way it changed what manufacturers did that is the main thing.
I'm excited, I'm about to buy one just like this one that's been sitting on someone's driveway for like 10 years, but up for the challenge
ONE OF MY DREAMCARS I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY GREEN MK1 GOLF 1977 AND RED MK1 GOLF 76
Leave the lamps on there. That looks like a rare option. Since most you see in 🇺🇸 have single lamps. Rare option.
haaaaaa stil missing my rabbit (golf) in panama brown (color) just saw a few of them in that color, please upload the full episode !
Absolutely amazing Golf!
You know what would make this car better? Not being able to see at night ! What a fuckin dialtone
No need to negotiate if the asking price is well within the range you expected. What an honest man right there!!!
well ? you did not notice the fake acting ? Because they are acting BAD :3
That Grill is Factory for Europe taking it off would be blasphemy
So is replacing the original cloth on the seats, most of that dull appearence is due to dust/dirt in the fabric.
A good cleanout with a foam/soapy vacuum cleaner would make it look nice again.
Facts. Although sigle head lamps would dope. Alot of people would prefer the two as well. I dont think converting it to single lamps would have mattered far as the sell. THAT would have made more interest. Seems to be a rare option.
when will you put this on your web site again to watch
These guys do a good show,no one ever drives old motors as a daily...The slaphead slating the cars interior is crazy....
Please, anyone knows where this place yunk
yard is?
A clean '82 Golf GTI for £6,000? I'd have had it that's a steal
That rear spoiler needs to stay as its probably worth as much as the car now. Rear hatch doesnt have the black trim, A pillar black trim missing. Side trim is plastic and not stickers, he went on about the single lamp grill, but Pirellis were never available for that year not even an option. The doctor must have more money than sense, he could have had a mint Campaign for that money and I mean a really mint one.
spot on comments, I noticed the same, the side trims both panel and under the doors are vinyl stripes not the original metal strips, the red trim on bumpers isn't factory and Pirelli P wheels were only on the campaign and I would imagine the ones on this are MK2 versions, should have 9 spokes on it.
Drew kept going on about the single light grille and he couldn't even be arsed to fit a decent rear window that had elements that actually all work
true..also someone had, had a go at the bolsters with vinyl..the front bumper was warped (as they often did), the horrible rear lenses..no idea about the engine...the lower decals were damaged..then again, she's an old girl whose probably had the arse ragged off her.
come on don't say bad things about this girl!
I HAD THE SAME REAR SPOILER ON MY MK1 BLOODY HARD TO FIND
Fuck me, Moby's plumped up like a fucking walrus!
Owned 3 GTI but this has been messed up. Been worth more with steel sunroof, missing kit and trim as already mentioned.
I had a 1984 Mk1. I particularly wanted the 1800 due the the additional torque. I bought the headlight conversion for £50 from the VW dealer at the time. I bought it from a dealership in 1986. It was an import from Northern Ireland. It cost me £6000. I traded in my Mk1 1300 Driver which for those that don't know was a GTi replica minus the engine.
It was without a doubt the car that I always look back with great fondness. It could pull from 30 in fifth gear all the way to its maximum. I loved it.
My wife as a new driver couldn't get on with it, so I traded it in for a brand new Mini Mayfair the following year! What a mistake that was. Car gone and Mrs gone the following year! 😄
10 years later, I bought another, locally owned for fun. The guy had looked after the mechanics, checking the tallest every 3000 miles for which he gave me his record book. The bodywork was very tired. I had some work done, replacing the rotten tailgate with a second-hand one bought the black window surround and fitted that. Replaced the damaged bonnet and kept it in three colours while I was saving up for a respray. It was as good as my first.
I sold it on hen we found out my wife was pregnant.
I've never been interested in the later models apart from a great hankering at the time for a Rallye. It would have been tight to be able to afford one at the time with the cheapest cars being around £7000. I so wish I had though!
Here in the US we call ricing it out when you screw up the stock appearance by adding stupid mods
There’s a lot more that’s not original on that car than they pointed out. The wheels, tinted rear lights and red badges would be the first things to go in the bin if it was mine.
That’s not a Mk1 GTI, it’s a Mk1 facelift - quad lamps at the front, larger tail-lamps, Pirelli P-slot wheels (missing), square dials and the all important 1800cc engine (vs the true Mk1 1600cc).
This wouldn’t have had Pirelli p slots, you are correct on the rest though , them smoked rear lights are wrong ,the decals underneath the swage line are wrong, the side decals should be plastic strips , shouldn’t have a rear spoiler or front chin spoiler, the seats should be edged with fabric, not vinyl & the black decal around tailgate is missing, it’s a Frankenstein Gti 😂
To be fair I would add some period correct bits on the golf would not at all keep it bone stock
Leave the cars to Mr. China Drew, you sort the desks out.
Love it drew gets out and starts slagging his business off
The guy selling looks like an English Peter Fonda 😂
Everything about this was fake. Why on earth a car as well looked after as this is on a programme called "Salvage Hunters" is totally beyond me. My first car was a 1982 Golf GTI, which I bought in 1989. It was an absolute rust bucket back then, so I don't understand how this even older car can look like this in 2018 (or whenever this shit was filmed).
Shame got 12500 for the golf but didn't bother fixing the rear heated screen ..
I got a 90s cool car that I don't want to go to scrap and want someone to sort it, any ideas who to contact?
I have bought 1000 classic cars. All but a handful were profitable. If i would have done it this guys way i would have been bankrupt
go to the mrk. 1 meet´s in germany the have all the fabric you want regards Sören
the gti looks like it just came out of the factory.
This car's MOT ran out in July 2018. So they obviously didn't do anything?
Send the boys round to my place ! At the hourly rate they charge when buying renovating and selling the cars. The hourly rate must be about one pound fifty an hour !!!
what do you mean?
I have a pretty well preserved 83 gti (called rabbit here). Restoration starting soon.
The wheels are nicce
My favorite car all time 🤔
Id buy that car as it is, very nice
Drew's arrogance is hard to stomach - a legend... in his own head .
Please upload full episodes!!!!!
dont think hes able to because of copyright claims..
This guy is really good business man
Is that why he lost £19K on the Jensen Interceptor?
I have made disparaging remarks about Drew before now. Now I have seen more of his antiques programs I realise that he is a reasonable bloke. The car things aren't his best platform. I was wrong about him.
Trust me you’re not. He’s a bellend. Have a look up about how he’s been smacked a few times in the town he lives for being a total dick.
@@nickblades9024 has he?! I will
@@nickblades9024 I am convinced, I was wrong and you were right. He does appear to be a bellend and by all accounts a big headed and arrogant. Reviews of his antiques business and accounts of his behaviour in public do make comfortable reading.
'not' make comfortable reading
Salvage Hunters, Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars are no more than 1 hour long advertisements Drew Pritchard I don't know what quest is thinking to dress up advertisement as a documentary
Here they are called Rabbit not Golf , and my gti is an 83.
Never ever pay the asking price, walk away and let another mug buy it.
That's what i did and im very glad that that some poor sod bought the car i was looking at.
Another car he messes with, with the wrong number plate font (post 2001).
Interior seats, take them out hot soap them down, repeat, repeat and they will look close to new.
My two fave TV guys! And throughly lovely guys too! 👏👏
O M G 😍😍😍😍
“I want it totally original” i know let’s fit “campaign” Pirelli alloys, the wrong Pirelli alloys on a early Mk1, and leave the bee sting and zender spoiler on it AND the most sacrilegious move, to ADD red stripes on the bumpers 🤦🏻♂️ wtf
What he actually meant was let’s make it look a bit better then over price it and sell it to someone for nostalgia money
If that was absolutely bone stock standard it would have been worth more than he got for it 😂
IF
There you go, 700.
6k for a rabbit is actually reasonable haha
No mention of terrible spoiler and tinted rear lights , no black around rear screen or front windscreen piller trim + added guages ! I agree on that interior trim but red car must be the worse colour as the factory added red gti trim parts get lost on it
therealknapster 3 centre gauges are correct for series 1 Mk1. Only Campaign had MFA computer for those functions.
@@DoubleOSeven007 MFA was standard in all 1.8 litre Mk1 GTIs. I have owned three of them, only one of which was the Campaign.
classics car showroom , sold RR , E TYPE JAGS , ASTONS ,ECT , now scrap yards are classic car showroom s , when 70s cars were new, everyone said they were shite, now wonderful classics , v w s made for men who could not get a girls frends
Sorry but Drew is just wrong here this is campaign model. The special P slot alloys were exclusive to this run out model as was the four lamp grille
This programme is better than wheelers dealers
Ha ha ha ha you were done
fuck i want one
“Dreadful cars”
Camera panning over to a BMW E28…
Did I miss something ???
Quest lets see them pair of turkeys put the cars in auctions then we shall see if its all kosher lol.... dare ya !!
Yes its lovely - lucky Drew. But, I brought a mk1 NON Golf GTI - So much dislike for them. If its not a GTI then forget it?🤔
Drew irritates me.
Salvage Hunters, Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars are no more than 1 hour long advertisements Drew Pritchard I don't know what quest is thinking to dress up advertisement as a documentary
johnnytenjobs That's a bit tame comment you.could at least go for the Jugular!
What have you done now quest? I couldnt watch anymore than 5 mins
watched this one but will not be watching anymore
valerie l its a shame tjay could of done it better
valerie l ????
I know they use to put full episodes of salvage hunters not anymore.
Jessical6719 are you taking the piss?
I don't think it's a Mk 1, it's more a Mk 2, because of the bigger taillights, the NOT GTi upholstery, real GTi's always had the checkered pattern.... So basiccally it's a fake GTi...
It is a mk1..... And different upholstery is available other than the checkered cloth
It’s a MK1 ffs. Later models had larger tail lights. And different fabric types.
Shame the rose tinted glasses were on, and they not only bought a 1.6 that wasn’t the most desirable version, they proceeded to drift completely towards making it look like a later 1800 version,
Should have lost the add on bee sting Ariel, lost the zender spoiler, and put the original 9 spokes alloys on it and kept it as an early 1600 should have been, it’s worth as an original than a mix and match
And WTAF is that red stripe on the bumper? Never a thing on a mk1 EVER
Still there’s always some mug willing to overpay for a cobbled together car based on their recollection of what one looked like or believing what the seller is telling them, blinded by bullshit i believe it’s called
So fake just like the other show. Who’s doing the work for free, not these knobs. Love the Golf had one in the 90s and paid £800 for it and was well tidy. Got stolen as they did but great car.
About as interesting as drying paint Stick to Furniture and leave the car to Brewer and Co
Stav Mo. Nice One and prefer watching rocks Grow than this Shite!
Golf GTI Mark 1. Yawn. 😴 and I had one. 🤔
I'd have snapped the guys hand off as well. Steal at that price
Don't get all the hate for Wee Drew ....I think he is sound & enjoy his stuff on the telly although haters gonna hate
Need to stick to ripping people off on their own takes hasn’t got a clue about restoring vehicles
If you're going to spell Giugiaro at least make sure you spell it right.
LEAVE THE GRILL ALONE ITS LOOKS THE DOGS
THE SEATS CLEAN THEM UP THEY ARE ORIGINAL
I LOVE MARK 1 GOLF GTI S
this is drew .i know what to do lets take the engine out the front put it in the boot lower it then draw all over it like a student has had it. it will sell trust me ,im bankrupt ..she lives in knutsford now big house loaded .
This is the guy who looked at a Ferrari and said it looked like a poorly put together kit car, and had no style. And yet he finds this Boring little red box and likes it, just because it has a VW sign on the front, and he has a thing for VW's for some reason.
Gary Dunn to be fair mate Ferraris are poorly put together. I know a man who repairs and restores classic cars for a living and he said Ferraris are poorly engineered. It’s more about the styling and driving. He said that when you work on a Porsche 911 or 80s or 90s BMW M5 for example you realise how beautifully engineered they are and how badly built Ferraris are...and that is from someone who takes them apart and rebuilds them. So I can empathise with Drew’s remark
OK, I take your point, but if that is the case, then why are Ferraris so bloody expensive.
@@garydunn3037 Ferraris are so expensive because people are easily conned into buying a brand instead of quality. Simple-dimple, pudding and pie.
12k hahaha as if, fake sale, this program is hard to watch , ratface knows less about golfs than me.
stick to what you know you show the programme of the cars but you don't fix them youself, perhaps you go drinking with mike brewer
Mk1 proportions suck. Mk2 is where it's at.
£6000🤔🤔🤔🤔
*Bollocks*
James Phucwit well said. Stop this crap on telly now
Two rich boys buying cars doing them up and selling them to their posh mates...
Stick with furniture
I might buy a crap car throw money at it farm the work out take the credit and sell it to some mug ,and know sod all about cars.
what a load of crap 😢
Premier League Sciolist.
These two know nothing about classic cars at all.
That is very cheap.
Drew Pritchard shame on u, cheap wheeler dealers nice patina not
really like salvage hunters but this new show i didnt like ,very much like wheeler dealers but it just didnt have it for me
Stick to selling wood Drew , honestly mate leave this to the proffesionals
Jooos..
Drew is a fud
Very poor program an arrogant smug presenter, a bemused co presenter who seemed to care about the car and not the profit. Will not watch again .I'll stick to reruns of the Original wheeler dealers.
yeah, the Jimmy Bummerville bloke came off as a complete twat.
Michael Clark Very sophisticated review. Tell me, what behavior did you see differentiated arrogant and smug?
I think its better really that he cares more about the car not the profit
Lol that ain't worth no more than 3.5 grand.
Says he with no car knowledge.
3Pac i say 3 to 4 grand no more no wonder thee uk is going to the dogs no one knows fuck all anymore
I live in Sweden thoe, car prices are almost dubble. But less than 5-6 grand cant be possible for that classic in a shape like that.
3Pac no mk1 golf should be that much even a mk1 escort mexico in 40k plus what the fuck is going on
Good condition, original MK1 GTIs go well over 10k... and tbh, well worth the money! Great little cars, can't go wrong with a Golf.
i hate these lifestyle soap opera type programmes that masquerade as credible, informative television..'infotainment'....when's the argument with the boss? When's the high pressure, unrealistic deadline? utter shit.
