Sweet. The Yellow trim was similar to the S4's of the same era. This car must live! Projects to save a car like this aren't about the cost. Logic is well out the window :)

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Love this one guys, great work! I vote for restoring it fully, it will still turn a profit I think. Could you get it finished and do another video of it please?!

Jesus is the Messiah and Lord and Savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6- I’m the way, the truth, and the light. NO ONE comes by the Father, EXCEPT though me. Romans 10:9-If you confess with your mouth and your heart that God raised him from the dead, you’ll be saved. Romans 10:13- For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:17- Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Other verses on The Roman Road- 3:23, 5:8, and 6:23. Also, John 3 and Romans 8. John 3 is about salvation, and Romans 8 is the spirit and flesh. Then, read John, Romans, and the rest of the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Well in Greece and id say Europe too most gas cars are still manuals actually it is hard to find a non manual for example everyone in my family drive them even most new ones are manuals

You definitely need to restore it! Great car! I learned to drive a stick in a 1986 GTI. I've always loved the boxy body style from the 80's/early 90's GTI.

Love your videos guys. First off, I think you should restore the car as it is rather rare. Of course, that depends on how much you want to spend but it is a good-looking car. Yes, I do know how to drive a stick. I actually learned on a yellow Maverick that had the old three on the tree shifter. Again, love your channel and keep up the good work!

Always liked the yellow vw's had from this era ! Definitely turn the moldings yellow again !! The factory wheels look cools too and the seats !

Another great job! I like the all yellow look better for this car. These GTIs are a lot of fun to drive. Hopefully someone will get it put back together and running again.

This is a rare car and future classic! It’s worth restoring it and bringing it back to it’s original form!

Sensacional! Esse GTI com certeza merece ser restaurado! Ótima aquisição 👏👏

Love these videos,keep up the great work guys ❤️

The video is quite satisfying to watch. A full restoration is worth it 💯

*I LOVED this GTi the most. It's a shame the owner butchered it. The 2.8L VR6 staggered inline 6 was FAST and fun. I drove one for a while. 6-speed manual. My absolute favorite car ever!!*

Great job guys👍 and yes, it‘s a must to bring this car back❤️

Insane transformation! Love to see this kind of videos.

What a sweet GTI… I can’t believe they painted the trim black… at least they seemed to have done a good job masking. The car I learned to drive in was a 1979 Diesel Volkswagen Dasher with a manual transmission, and I love a row your own Dub! I hope we get to see updates on this project… Are you going to put a new engine in it?

I owned and drove a Golf GTI for 12 years straight but was forced to sell once my second child was coming along. I was devastated to see it go (I still miss that car dearly). It was a dream car of mine forever and purchased mine new off the showroom floor. It was my baby before my “real” babies came along. My vote is to restore this thing without question. Find a set of original style rims also. They are a great looking wheel. I know they were found on the Golf R’s at the time so they’re out there. Slap a VR6 in this thing and rip it. I’d love to get another GTI someday.

I love the Mk4 body style. The 20th Anniversary GTI is a personal fave. If you can fine the correct engine (1.8) with its appropriate computer, the correct wheels, tires and brakes plus any other missing bits and bobs, it would be a great car. Even better - it’s a manual. Too bad it isn’t blue. Much better color that year. Learned to drive a stick when I was 9 or 10 in a 67 beetle! Drove a stick until just a few years ago.

It has to live, the bodywork and interior were perfect, the mechanics are the simplest. A hug.

...literally came across this video by chance and found myself watching till the end❤❤❤

I like those MK4 and yes i think is great to bring it back on the road 👍

This 100% needs putting back on the road !! come on guys get that engine in !!

Very satisfying watching all those years of grime just being sucked away.

I don't know about you but I feel Zestfully clean after watching this episode. 😊

Always worth it to restore an older car as rare as this. Love Golfs but would need to be a special spec like this for me to own it

Amazing job as always! Given the prices on VM parts and engines, it may be best to re-sell to a buyer that may want to invest in the project. Love the content you gus, shoutout from Costa Rica!

My very first car was an MK4 GTI VR6 in Satin Silver with a light beige interior and wood trim… amazing spec!!! Wish I had never sold it!😢

Underneath all that nastiness was a beautiful ride.

One of the front seats is probably from a 337 edition GTI, hence the different stitching. You can pick up used AWP 1.8T engines for under $500. I would fix the car up and then flip it or keep it. Depending on condition and mileage you could fetch 10k + for the car in the end.

Restore to original factory condition is best, good job WD 👍🏻!

Amazing Job! Of Course guys, this car must be saved! This Golf needs to go back into his glory. Maybe re-building the project one day at time! It's a awesome, cool looking car. Here in Argentina we got lot of golfs, and they still being a beautiful specimen for a project. Give this Golf the love he deserves it! Congrats for the detail!

Parabéns pelo trabalho feito no Golf. Abraços aqui de Curitiba/Pr-Brasil

The VW 1.8T 20V engines that these came with are great. Modified versions of them were even used in Formula 2 cars from 2009 to 2012 and produced 450hp in qualifying spec. The GTi Anniversary Edition also had a bit bigger turbo and produced about 30hp more than the standard GTi.

love what you guys do!

Happy to say I’m buying my first stick on Thursday. 2000 Golf GLS with no rust and only 120k miles. I could not be more excited.

I like the yellow trim! Tough call on the engine. Did you get an engine with it? The exterior looks pretty decent, so I’d say to rebuild the engine or find a donor vehicle. I’m 58 and I can drive a stick shift. I had a VW Golf with stick shift.

I think it looks better with the yellow stripes and different wheels, not even the factory ones. RPF1's looks very good on these cars. If you want to put it back on the road it all depends on what you got along with the car, good usable engine, turbo and other parts. If you don't have the majority of the parts then it might not be worth it because those parts are pretty expensive, my 2 cents. Good luck with it :)

Would love to see it get restored! Definitely need a updated video on it!

I like the all yellow better and like the original wheels also, great job guys!

Great job as always! I personally thinks it's only worth getting it back on the road for the fun of it, I don't think there would be enough money in it to cover all the labor that would have to go in it.

I have a couple questions. 1) when you were doing the top and it was really funk at around 5:40ish do you check the rain rails after to see if anything gunked em up? I don't think ever have before myself. 2) not a question but - VR6 swap it. it'll be perfection. 3) this are always enjoyable.

I drive a Mk.4 TDI just a couple years older than this in a manual transmission! Love the car, timeless styling that looks as good today as when it rolled out.

Worthy of a restoration, nice work.

Learned to drive a stick right off at the start of my driving, in a 1960 Beetle. This Golf definitely needs restoring, looks rust free, too. Great handling cars, reliable, quick, and easy on the gas and pocketbook.

Finding a transmission will likely be more difficult than an engine, both can be had without spending a fortune though I'm sure. The car would be a bit of a labor of love, but it could be a great way to start a new series and use the proceeds to help pay for parts costs. If the chassis is rust free, the value of this car will be on the rise soon.

Nice Job!!! My first car was a 1970 Datsun 1000 (Datsun Blue), which was very rusty and dented, however I loved it, ran like a top!!! My awesome aunt and uncle gave it to me when I turned 16 in 1980. I hopped around a bit, and ground a few gears for a while. So, I basically learned how to drive with a stick. Hi from Vancouver BC

Amazing job! I love yellow Golfs

This lets me think of my first car (MK 4 1.8T 2001 Highline), It still has me in love when ever i see another MK4 and wish i still had it and let the engine get restored etc etc.

Back in 2004, my mom bought a Jetta MK4 at the dealer. It was her daily car all the way until 2019, when I bought it from her. I could say it has been 4 years of restoring that Jetta with original VW or even better quality parts. Expensive? Of course. Worth it? Hell yeah!! Greetings from Mexico.

Every rare car deserve to be back on the roads bcz there they belong, nice work guys ❤

This Golf deserves all the love

Gotta love how a proper GTI drives. I've had a few VW's.. '85 Scirocco, '86 GTI, '95 Golf Sport, '95 GTI VR6 , and a '03 GLI VR6. Haven't driven a stick since I sold my '04 Audi S4 in 2015.. Will have to get an older fun car soon! Enjoy your content, keep it up!

Thanks for the amazing content !!

Factory oem is the way to go! Being 1 of 1000 it’s worth restoring. My first stick was a 1988 Mercury Topaz 2 door. I’ve loved manuals ever since.

I like it all one color. Great job RJ.

thanks for keeping it alive, my imola 20th is currently on jackstands waiting on new axles. theyre worth the hassle!

Yes restore it - this Golf is sick !

love this car one of my favorites and i think restoring it and keeping it will be a nice nostalgic car too ride around in i think will be worth the keep!

Great job guys. Another fine video.

Bring it back on the road!!! Love the mk4. And this is also a special model❤

not a fan of these but doesn't change the enjoyment of your guys' typical jaw-dropping transformations! God bless!

Would definitely restore this car. I preferred the doors without the black trim but it is what it is. A rare find which deserves to be back on the road.

I got the same car, but 2.0 and as a Colour Concept. I love it to bits, it's my daily driver for the past 8 years. I'll never let it go!

All yellow as should be👍👍👍👍 its worth to put it in to road again, after all it is SPECIAL,👍👍👍👍 Maual, it is FUN!!!

Definitely restore it. I had a MK4 GTI as my first car and I loved it so much

GTI’s are great cars and very fun to drive. I had a Mk6 GTI for many years, and now a Mk7.5 Golf R (both DSG). My R has a Unitronic Stage 1+ tune for 375bhp, so it’s a rocket 🏎️ 💨

We called it Euro Style back in my day, all the same color... loved it

Nice car, we love GTIs. Quick, great fuel economy and definitely worth restoring. Learned to drive on a manual transmission pre-WWII Nash we used as a farm utility vehicle. Enjoy your videos very much.

I had a 2.0 for 6 years. I loved that car, and I have great memories. I learned to drive stick when I was 14. My dad had an old Jetta mk2.

Definitely need to restore and get it back on the roads!! Those are great cars and fun to drive!! I would also take it back to full yellow and get rid of the black. I learned to drive stick on a 1995 Chevy S10.

GTi+VR6+Manual = EPIC
