The oil on the outside of the engine looked better than whatever was inside. That's pretty amazing.

If this is the new direction of CT, then I am very happy to see more of this detailed mechanical work! I'm very impressed with Edwin and Jack's knowledge.

Edwin is a natural, loved this episode! Keep it up boys!

Wasn't too sure about Edwin taking a regular presenting role but after this episode I'm sold!

Hope you can save the engine but it looks too far gone. Edwin is a welcome addition to the team. Looking forward to the rest of the restoration.

Edwin and Jack together are so natural. Also, love the more greasy videos... as someone who longs to be able to do these kinds of things, but having neither the budget, nor the space, it's great to be able to live through others :) Keep it up, you're knocking it out the park :)

In that case, you may enjoy Derek's content in #ViceGripGarage. One of his main bits is finding great old cars and getting them running. Amazing content.

I’m so happy your not just buying cars and doing “challenges” your actually working on car and getting involved. Loved this video guys, please please please more of this kinda content.

Off course it looks good underneath. With all the oil leaking out of the engine it has been preserved perfectly 😁

Edwin is my favourite! Legit had me cracking up at "turn it up, oh I love this one" and his nerdy knowledge is next level!

Glad you lads have kept at it, really enjoying the new format and a genuine bunch of guys getting hands dirty........looking forward to more like this

would love to see this car actually done properly, awesome buy from Edwin

Edwin’s a natural! Hope he’s on camera more often. Total legend!

A Mrk 1 Golf is genuinely my dream car and when you finally get this beauty going properly, I bet it will be amazing! A great video lads, keep it up 👍

Nice to see you boys

really enjoy seeing edwin on camera. also fantastic choice of car!!!!

Love it! I had a 1989 1.6 carb now have a 1991 1.8t swapped MK2 golf. 237bhp and the turbo noises are the best! Definitely the way you should go!

2.0 16v abf engine would look nice in the mk2👌🏼

I love this kind of content! Such a cool little car. I hope it gets to live.

Edwin is great! Good to see you having a real project, keep it alive!

Fantastic content, and Edwin is a really complementary addition to the team. Cant wait to see what you do!

Great video. This channel has really hit its stride with the new presenting team. Looking forward to part two.

I haven't laughed this much with a KZread video like this in a long time. What an amazing team you guys got :)

Just coming back to this video, what a brilliant series this was.

My first car I ever had was an '84 GTI, but the 4 door. It was my 18th birthday present from my parents, in 2003. It had over 330,000km but was in exceptionally good condition and drove beautifully. I absolutely adored it! Sadly, it was stolen after about a year and I never saw it again. So this model GTI is very special to me 😊

This is brilliant, can't wait until the next ep. Nice one lad's & Ethan!

finally car throttle has bought a cool car, i may be bias though, i have a mk2 (first car) just a 1.3 4dr but i love the thing, i have the same type 19 gti interior in mine, looking forward to seeing what you do with it, id say a bbs body kit would look mint on it

Loving it. These are the best of the videos- no stupid messing about - fixing up a fine old car with three engaging and funny blokes.

This was VERY entertaining, as I own a red MK5 GTI and back in the days when this poor car sat in a garage, my dad owned a red MK2 1.6 petrol, so this is quite special! He sold the red MK2 in 2008 and found it on the streets still running half a year ago! These cars are invincible. Cant wait to see the progress, this car deserves to live again.

We need a Car Throttle vs Overdrive collab!!

Love Edwin on camera and these semi diy type projects keep it coming ❤

This can take over auto-Alex any day with content like this

Really loved this episode guys! Excited to see the next installment!

Looks great. Definitely deserves a new engine either original or 1.8T

Car throttle time 😎

The early ones are the better looking ones. My old white one was in a slightly better state than this one when I started on it. By the time I'd finished it, I'd ditched the 8v for a 3.2 24v.. would recommend! 😂 Now a happy Rallye owner. If you need any advice, contacts for parts or anything feel free to reach out.

The single best looking golf of them all imo. I remember when i was younger and i would do the newspaper run for a bit of income, i would always pass by some guy who owned a red Mk 2 GTI in absolutely mint condition. You could tell the guy really cared about it

Made me remember I have a golf engine in my shed 😂

I don't know if a replacement engine would set you back more than a rebuild of this one but I would attempt the rebuild just because

Rebuilding this engine would cost way more than sourcing another one. This engine is so fucked it might be beyond saving regardless of cost as there could be cracks inside the block. The best outcome for it is a coffee table at this point.

@@MrManBuzz I guess the EA827 or whatever this engine is are plentiful. I got one in my 1L Toledo rustbucket.

Already love this series. Please keep it stock though, please! Plenty of f'ed up MK-II's on this planet. It looks promising, engine aside.

16:00 Solution to that and what me and my buddies do: Even before pulling the engine out we buy 1-2 liter of cold degreeser, spray it from above and under, let is soak for a good 5-10 minutes. Use high pressure washer or even better a steam pressure washer. As much as we like getting our hands dirty, it is so much better to work with cleaner parts, plus we might not stink by the end of the day ... That much 😅

off to mighty car mods with you!

About a month ago I saved an 86 Gti that had been under a shed since 2001. Im the 2nd owner. Luckily the previous owner was an older lady. Im 100% confident the only reason I was able to save it and get it back to being road worthy was the fact that it sat for 20 years and wasnt owned by my 17 year old self.

Gotta be honest I'm in Canada so idk for certain but for us the cheap but still proper fix is sliding a mk3 8v block under a counterflow 8v head. No wiring, not much messing about, and the full kit (breather block off, distributor gear, stainless downpipe, and short shifter) is like $400 USD (so £325). Usually bumps the power up to 16v levels but with more torque. Of course as the name suggests I may be a touch biased and you've probably already chosen a 1.8t, and that is the better way to go if you have the budget for it, but the period poverty spec power always deserves a shout out.

A piece of art. So pumped to see what you guys do!

it better be kept original!! we got enough chav'd up cars ruined already

Great episode this, good to see Edwin again too, nice bit of chemistry building here.👍

First ever car was a Mk1 Mars Red LHD 4speed GTI. Drive it back from base in Germany to the UK. Had it in the UK 3 days Racing a Sierra Cosworth and a Clio Williams round the windy B Roads near Cambridge. Cossie couldn’t touch us. Until I ran out of talent, fell off the road and was windscreen deep into a ditch. That GTI or lack of still sits in my lock up waiting for my son to be old enough to rebuild it. I’ve spent 17years sourcing every part I need to rebuild her. A build series on this would be top tier. Just don’t fuck it up like i did mine!

My first car was a regular mk2 golf 1.8 and I still love them, good work for keeping them alive!

Just to go against all the VR6/1.8T comments, how about go 2.3 v5 from a mk4. Will sound immense if nothing else

As much as what came after it was upsetting, the jump cuts showing every bolt in the head coming undone is one of the most satisfying things I've seen on YT.

Finally, nice video guys! Thanks!

Edwin and Jack are a good combo, its a shame Ethan wasn't in it more

Love the loading bar for the sponsor spot. Thank you for adding it

Strong whiffs of Derek's rescues on #ViceGripGarage, which is no bad thing at all! Love seeing great, old cars given a new lease of life. ✋🏼😌👌🏼

Love this lads fair play I’ll definitely be watching future stuff !

Love it! Had a MK2 Golf GTI 8v as my 3rd car at 19, loved it up until the next MOT when it was deemed as uneconomical to repair due to the whole chassis being extra lightweight due to the rust... Would love to see a 1.8T BAM Conversion! Keep up the great content lads!
