FittingThe Engine 1983 Mk1 Golf GTI Restoration 1.8 20v t Engine Swap
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Time to start bolting parts back onto the painted shell. In this one we start off by bolting on all of the front suspension, Steering Rack, Lower Arms, Coilovers, Hubs, Fuel Tank and rear beam. All of the suspension has been Polyurethane bushed. Once all of that is sorted we make a start on fitting the Audi TT 1.8 20v Turbo Engine along with the 02A CDA Gearbox using Epytec mounts. We then throw the Intercooler, Radiator and front/rear light in to make the car look a little more car! Next step is going to be trying to figure out all of the wiring so we can get the engine running.

What away to start a Sunday morning…. Cup of coffee, sat on the sofa with the cat and watching another episode on the Golf. Keep smiling pal and remember your bringing a little happiness to people as well as inspiring the to try new things. 😁

100% as therapeutic as this is to do its the same for many who are watching it.
The 1.8 is IMHO one of the best engines of VW.
I hope I can see this thing in person one day!!
LOVE the black and red!! As exciting as it was for me to see parts going back on I cant imagine how exciting it was for you.
The matt black engine looks amazing against the gloss red bodywork you've got an eye for detail Dan well done mate 👌👌
This has got to be one of my favourite rebuild vids so far.you've inspired, and given me the confidence to keep my own classic on the road and not give up on. That all important welding I learnt from you paid off and I now have 12 month mot and on the road again. Fair play to you mate and thankyou for inspiring me.i can't wait to see the next upload.
Very impressive nice way to start my Sunday with a coffee. Keep it up
Dan loving this build. Hats off to you. 👍👍👍
Amazing car you are doing. Waouh... Bruno from France
The dogs danglies!! Looking good now man, well done 👍
Looks absolutely brilliant Dan..
That engine bay looks mint, nice to see the lights back in as well. Keeping the red was defo the right decision 👌🏻
Gave me some motivation to get my old 205 GTi done. Won't be to this level but will be enjoyed this summer hopefully 👍🏿
Yeah. Agree with the others the contrast of the engine and the body work is superb.
Top job mate! Coming together nicely!
Fresh off the press, Sunday just got better. Might have to paint mine Black, looks good with the Red.
Wow, the mk1 golf has come such a long way. Engine and gearbox looks so good in black.well done Dan.👍👊🤘🔥
Looks awesome, well done
Nice one Dan, She's taking shape nicely and that engine looks the business against the red 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

Looking awesome Dan!
Looks class Dan great work
Good work Dan 👍
nice job, looking forward to start/up yes.
Looking amazing
The golf looks amazing Dan well done 👌👌👌
looking awesome, I can only imagine that the red with black contrast looks even better in the flesh, the camera probably doesn't do it justice.
Well done dan! car is looking brilliant 👍
William Skelton at Dub Nutz is your man for wiring and everything else if you need any help. Restored our 20vt mk2 and its stunning m8 🤙

Wow ! Looks good. Bet ya that this car has never looked so good. Keep it up man.👍🏼
I see you also have that friend with a beer in a hand. Here in my garage we call him "director" 😂😂
Great espionage on the Golf GTI, glad to seeing this 1.8t being installed in this VW 😎 I really like that you installed rear disc brake on this Mk1 👍 Keep at it and you will be driving this Golf on road in the near future 🇬🇧
YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME, MONEY AND WORK IN THIS CAR, BUT THE END IS A BRAND NEW GTI..!! THE COLOR IST VERY NICE,!!!...RESPEKT YOU DO A GREAT JOB,..🤙✌
It's looking great Dan ;-)
That is looking sweet bro 👍
Front engine mount is correct 👌
Lovely Jubbly, starting to look like a car again now Dan.
Incredible car. Broken the back of the project and homeward bound.
Nice black Engine Dan.:)
Looking great, get some wing protection covers!! So easy to chip/damage fresh paint.
Quality quality quality!! Keep up the good work. I bet you feel that your turning a corner!!
Great progress mate, wouldn't fancy doing the loom personally... but you'll work it out! 👏🏼

Good job
Looks mint
Epic!
Have to say that engine looks great in the bay Dan, I wasn't to sure about it being all black but now it's in there it really looks nice! I think a rear disc conversion would be better with all the extra power you have under the bonnet but like all things these days it won't be cheap so maybe get the car finished before add any more extras 😂👍
That gti is gonna be so much fun to drive when done. Good job so far. It's about time progress is being made. 👍
Man I wish I had a shop to do this kind of work. My garage is cramped

I am very lucky to have this space. I have seen a lot of people do amazing builds in tiny garages too.
Looking great Dan love the black and red❤️, Im just letting you know I do recommend you getting the front reinforcement for the front mount as mine and my friends mk1 golfs start to break and tear on the front member 😱 you don’t need to weld or anything so you wouldn’t damage the paint 😉
Whoop!
Great 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sweeeet bro, joy of bolting new/clean mechanicals and body ancillaries. Brake/fuel lines soon?
Such a grate project! Ceep going. Looking you froom Ukraine. Thanks for your work - a minuts of enjoy at that turbulent times)
Love your videos , reminds me of my 1600 LS golf . Not sure about ‘what’s goin on ‘ at the start of your film , maybe you watched too many American videos . Keep up the good work .
Man,she's looking so sweeeeeeet
should have went for a beetle shallow sump, they fit exact to the 1.8t and only cost about £30 and pretty much exactly the same as all the "1.8t" shallows which are always stupidly expensive awesome video will be insanely mint when its all done!!
Tip, you should have started with the brake and fuel lines.

Dan, what is the actual valve layout in the cylinder head please? (I was assuming it was going to be a five cylinder unit having 20 valves) but clearly it’s a four?..
Are you gonna do the wiring yourself? I want to do mine from 1.4 to a 1.8 on a mk3
What ecu you running Dan ?

Noooooooooo please don’t use crystal lights 🤦🏻♂️ they didn’t even look good on a Subaru and they don’t belong on a VW of any sort!!!!! Only place crystal lamps belong is the bin!!!!!!! Nice progress though 👍🏻
