    I'm a bit confused if I'm honest. In previous videos you have said you sell the cars on insta and that's where the GTI6 would be sold. I DM you a bid on Insta and now you say you don't read the DMS on insta, so how would I buy a car from you?!

      The gti 6 was put on there and I said if your interested make me a offer and if it was excepted I would then message that person we get up to 1k messages on each video and I get hundreds on instagram commenting on the videos and I’m not going to get in to replying to them any comments about the videos need to be on the videos. At the end of this video I said I can’t respond to comments on Instagram I didn’t mention anything about private messages. I’m going to be completely honest once you except a private msg on instagram it’s then open for a 2 way chat any time and in the early days I opened and accepted a few messages and 2 of the people constantly messaged me one Evan kept sending me question marks asking why I’m not responding and his questions were what am I up to ?any video tonight ? Wanna go out for a beer ? Can I pop round at the weekend. Sorry bud I hope you understand where I’m coming from and why I need to be careful 👍

    Rust on the front wings is a common problem on the mk5 golfs. They’ve got a sound absorber in the wing made of sponge which collects water and never has a proper chance to dry out which rots the arch👍🏻

    £150 for that paint work is a definite bargain, as you said he's probably looking after you on the price to make sure you send more work his way, so it's an investment in the future for him. He did a lovely job and went that bit further painting a lot of the inside of the door which makes sure no-one will know that door's been replaced unless they take it all apart. Once again, loving your work guys, that's a really tidy Golf for the age and the money, the next owner can spend a few quid on dealing with that rust and the odd chip and mark now, especially the creeping rust while it's still very minor, and have a car that looks pretty much like new for not much money at all. It goes to show, just because you're buying a cheap car you don't have to settle for junk, there are very good cheap cars out there if you do your due diligence...
