I think this will clean up nice! I had an estate version back in the day. Everyone thought it was an undercover police car 😂 was a nightmare on the motorway
Doesn’t look too bad I don’t think Dan. A good clean and tidy up of the downstream of the piping and wiring, lambda etc and that’ll be decent. Tell ya that ramp is an absolute god send, I’m jealous!
There's a podcast by Ben Colins called Some Say, he did an episode where he interviewed one of the officers who was on police interceptors, he mentioned these when asked about cars from his time in the force and seemed to like them a lot!
Speedo isn't technically still calibrated with the bigger wheels than the stock ones I'm pretty sure. Not sure how much of a difference it would make though tbh. Think they came with 16 or 17 inch ones stock
Nice man, look forward to seeing what you do with the 1.8t... i have had a 1.8t golf on the fleet since 2009 😁 timing belt how to would be nice, on my to do list this summer 😎
In your opinion, I won't argue with you. It's a very cheap car with some decent mods. I really don't care if it's been trashed. What do you think I will do with it 🤣
No that's about it really, I had the car mapped on rolling roads, at DT evolution notts, he allso did the custom made exhaust for me, when I had the car it had a boost problem, but I believe who I sold it to he had new turbo on it and it sorted the lagging. I miss this car 😞 I hope you do good to it such good car!
Love discovering channels like this. Great content mate. Subbed.👍🏻
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words 😊🙏🏻
Love a good VRS Mk1. Only had a Mk2 and Mk3, hard to find a decent Mk1 these days! Subscribed to follow for updates!
Thank you, I have a few update videos on here already and another coming out on Monday 😊
A bit late along to this but glad I found it! I have a MK1 vRS too so will be interested to see how this turns out 😎
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy!
I am interested to watch the series, you got my subscription!
Thank you
Love your videos looking forward to the Octavia project results
Aww, thank you 😊
WOW , all those mods on an ex police car, AMAZING !!!!!
The irony is it's not road legal 🤣
I have a red Mk1 Octavia vRS so I'm really interested in watching your progress Dan, subbed!
Thank you 😊
Haven't even watched yet but from the thumbnail I know this is going to be a great series 👍
Thank you 😊

Thank you. Yeah I can imagine. Haha

The camera is being very nice to it's paint, trust me it's rough! Yeah the lift is great, it makes life so much easier 😊

Oh that's cool, I will have to look out for it.
Great Dan I got a MK2 VRS estate over here in Poland 2.0 TDI on a 08 plate
I love it until I get my Corsa here. 😊
I will l😅ok forward to these videos
Thanks, decent cars. I definitely have a soft spot for these old school VAG cars
Speedo isn't technically still calibrated with the bigger wheels than the stock ones I'm pretty sure. Not sure how much of a difference it would make though tbh. Think they came with 16 or 17 inch ones stock
Yeah you're right, they came with 17 standard
Nice man, look forward to seeing what you do with the 1.8t... i have had a 1.8t golf on the fleet since 2009 😁 timing belt how to would be nice, on my to do list this summer 😎
We will see how I get on, I have done plenty of belts on them over the years. Never planned to do this one, but may do if I keep it a while 😁
Vrs = victory racing sport 😊 such slept on cars
Near enough haha 😂
That needs a LOT of work…fair play!
Yeah I agree, but it keeps me busy, and will hopefully make some good videos 😁
Wait what, they are saloon hatchbacks! Never knew that 😂. Looks a good base, sure you'll do a great job of this mate.
I didn't know that either, or never realised! Very handy! Thanks mate
Yeah super handy, fold the seats down and you can fit a bicycle or full IKEA trip in no problem haha
@@htdtr definitely useful!
Yeah baby, vented rear discs! VAG were serious about making a statement of this generation of cars
Definitely!
Sure be a unicorn again 😮
Yep
Nice car i remember when the cops had these. All those mods scream chav and thrash to me
Thanks, and yeah completely agree, I should be able to give it a fresh start and massively improve its appeal too.
@@DanielBall hope so 🙏
Needs standard wheels & rear spoiler
To be honest, I quite like both, going to paint the wheels silver though.
why anyone would buy an ex police car is beyond me. starship mileage , thrashed and abused , just why?
Each to their own mate
@DanielBall it's a common and age old misconception that they are regularly serviced , repaired and looked after
In your opinion, I won't argue with you. It's a very cheap car with some decent mods. I really don't care if it's been trashed. What do you think I will do with it 🤣
@@DanielBall fair enough 🤣
It's up to you what you do with it fella. Be quite interesting to see you give it some TLC. Good on you.
That's my old car haha
Did I miss any mods?
Chavtastic lol
No that's about it really, I had the car mapped on rolling roads, at DT evolution notts, he allso did the custom made exhaust for me, when I had the car it had a boost problem, but I believe who I sold it to he had new turbo on it and it sorted the lagging. I miss this car 😞 I hope you do good to it such good car!
You admitting that ?? What a heap of shite 😂
@MrBarryaird scroll on mate if you have nothing good say keep it to your self
