Thank you for the nice feedback, and hello from Minnesota! :)

Great video allways had a soft spot for the country's love to see a good tidy job done man keep up the great work. Also to make them bushings easier to fit what we used to do in the garrage I worked in we would freeze the bushing I still do if I'm fitting bushings or bearings makes things a heap easier.

Thanks! You're right about the editing--it takes a lot of time. Your feedback makes it worthwhile, though. :)

Would the country sub chassis bolt onto a Scirocco? Would love a 4x4 off road Scirocco

That would be fun, but I don't think it would be a direct bolt-on application. The Golf and Scirocco undercarriages are different--both in terms of the components and the physical dimensions (width, length). But, with some creative modifications, you could make it work, like this someone did on this VW Caddy: syko.co.uk/mk-1caddy-syncro/

Bravo

ONE more question from me do you buy any chance know where I can buy the centar driveshaft bearings or if you know the part number for those thanks in advance?

A cool project would be to put a mk4 Golf body on that frame if it were possible

Cool idea. I Googled around a bit, but didn't find any examples of anyone doing that. Finding parts would be the biggest challenge, I think. The whole drivetrain (and suspension) attaches to the frame instead of the unibody. Any hoses, cables, linkages, etc. that connect the drivetrain to the rest of the car might need to be custom-made.

@Paul Broenen or VW just needs to bring it back here in states. That's even better!!! Think it would be a big seller here. Give Subaru Cross-Trek its run for its money 🤣

@@DELOS13 Yeah, and I wish VW would have sold the double-cab dokas in the US, too!

Cool

i watched several of your restauration videos and the work is incredible you did on your Golf Country. I want to convert a Golf Caddy in to a country. I try to gather a few information and measurements for the frame VW used to lift the Golf. Would you be able and willing to measure the 3 posts of the frame they used to raise the Golf and tell me how long they are? Also I would like to know the diameter of the tube. thanks a lot.

Sorry for the slow reply. Your project sounds cool! Have you seen this one?: blog.heritagepartscentre.com/blog/2015/01/17/mk1-caddy-4x4/ The tubular frame has two sizes of tubing. The long side tubes are 7 cm in diameter. The lateral tubes are 4 cm in diameter. The four mounting posts at the front of the frame are 11 cm tall. Each post has one washer above and one washer below. Each washer is 5 mm thick, so the total lift is 11 + 0.5 + 0.5 cm = 12 cm. For the two rear posts, I can't be 100% certain about the height, because I don't have a non-Country suspension mount to compare it against. However, it appears to be the same dimension as up front: 12 cm. Good luck!

@@PaulBroenen hi Paul thanks lot for the link that’s exactly what I envision! And also thank you very much for all the great measurements! That will help a lot. Thank you so much for that

I want to help me on how to modify the golf shape from the front and back, how to raise the car, and how to make the front and rear shield please

Hello, I want to know if you sell everything to do the conversion and what is its price

This car came from the VW factory this way. The "Country" was a 4WD variant of the VW Golf. VW sold them in Europe, but not in North America. My car was purchased by an American car importer in Germany and shipped to California, where I bought it. It is possible to convert a standard Golf to Syncro 4WD, but you would need to get the parts from a donor "Country". The parts are getting hard to find (and expensive).

Syncro
