Vag commander is probably the best guest mechanic name so far, thats hilarious.

"I'm not going to be spending time much in there, but your mum will be" Classic Moog, never change!

⚠ Most clock springs have actuall wires inside and cant be spun infinitely around or youll brake it you have to delicately center it before you put the steering wheel back on 👌

The clock spring usually has a cable between both terminals. It’s designed to reach from lock to lock on the steering wheel from it’s home position. If you turn it around you are asking for trouble as now it may not reach and break.

Proof that money really is the best superpower

Black interiors look premium - like they mean business. You can't convince me otherwise. One of the few purely aesthetic mods I did to my WRX wagon back in the day was wrap the headliner in black suede and paint all the pillars black and put black S202 inspired black dash trim. Made it feel like a sports car instead of the cheapo economy car that it really was.

I work in a VW dealership in Brazil and all this work that you guys are doing I do everyday in my job. The interior plastic parts itls like a puzzle. I'm having fun whatching this episodes of this convertion, good job guys!!!

Out of all the fantastic music I've enjoyed on MCM that intro is my favourite.

When I test drove a Up GTI in Wales I was BLOWN AWAY by how great it was on the twisties. And once a bit of money was put into suspension, brakes and tyres it was honestly some of the most fun I've ever had because the engine was fast enough for the car to feel fast but slow enough so that you'd have to really drive it hard. With a little remap its a monster.

Can't believe this has become one of the bigger mcm projects. Its amazing to see the level of engineering that goes into building 2 different options of the car and how much it changes over the years of being produced

The interior installation is like ASMR. Hatches are the best.

Surely The Vag Commander needs his own series of MCM merch!!!

These guys work so hard to upgrade these cars the right way, and the performance, and appeal--- and the effort always seems so massive for something, that I would never consider doing.

As a Up GTI Owner myself it has been great watching this series and how you are making your own down under!

That Limerick at the start was class, Moog should do this more often

Great build series guys! What a beautiful car, and now you know to work on every aspect of the Up! And now anybody that wants to know how to work on an UP can watch your build series and do it their self.

Well now I’m gonna expect a kid show style intro to every MCM video

The clock spring needs to be centred properly (why there was a lock on it) to prevent damage to wiring etc when turning the wheel

The amount of patience shown is unfathomable. Have a drink every time Moog says "oh im waiting on parts from Germany because xxxx isnt compatible"

This episode just had me laughing at work while watching... you guys are just amazing. Its like we know you for so many years despite the fact that we've never met, and it's still an amazing feeling. This build has been so much fun to watch. Thanks mates.

Lovin' the Up content. It's a massive overcapitalisation on a nugget, just like Marty's Mira, but such a cool car after all the work.

Take a drink every time Moog says “This ‘ere” 🤪

You can fit the sun visors from a Polo mk5 gti. The vanity lights won't light up but they're the same interior black as the Up gti and you get covers for the vanity mirrors. I did it to my Up gti, it's a nice little mod.

While I am sure there have been UP!s and downs…this journey has been a good watch. I figured my Mk2 VAG journey was frustrating. Great to see the progress. Marty if you are ever in Canada come take my GTI for a drive…if it doesn’t put a smile on your face I will buy you a beer.

Such a technical puzzle! The amount of thinking and rethinking looks incredible. So good to see how much goes into a project car. Well done for making it a fun challenge with a great outcome!

The Intro made us laugh. Thought it was an episode of Play School. We're happy to see the Up is now running. Great Video Guys.

Love you guys commitment to doing something that difficult and time consuming. Love what you guys do and it inspires me to wrench on my 88' toyota pickup

Your positivity and excitement is infectious. You always motivate me so much. I love your passion, man. Good luck and here's hoping for a start up soon!

Good thing you wound up the clock spring before installing!!😂

Watching those interior panels go in was so satisfying when they are new. Doing the same on old car is such a struggle

I love this channel. Great balance of fun goofing off and quality automotove knowledge.

I seriously love the music you guys mix!!! It makes y'alls videos next level!!!

Watching from Portugal (Europe). Amazing work dudes!!

Every vid always freakin' slaps. Easily one of the best channels on the platform!

Love the video, I can't believe what you guys have to go through but was it really worth it!!!!!!!

This series has been a wonderful mix of what I started watching 14 odd years ago and what I’ve now grown to love a new flavor of!

Spins clock spring like crazy short while later "steerin error" Gotta chuckle at it, but really hoping for the best. the car is sick and cant wait to see it driving!

Enjoying seeing how happy Moog is getting with this project after overcomingso many issues along the way. Perseverance pays off and this channel is always testament to that.

Paused 27 sec in to say you already made me laugh. Best channel and always will be.

Can’t wait see some test rips!! Over here in Michigan w/my mk5 tdi, love the vw content 🤘🏼

Watching you guys work on that Up, makes me truly appreciate my 2018 MPI 😍

It's refreshing seeing you guys struggle with this thing month after month, but just following through on your past decision even though it long ago proved to be difficult (and maybe a bad idea in the first place). I can relate...

Love the abstract hiphop "nujabeslike", changes a lot and brings some nostalgia ! thanks a lot

The UP GTI is epic. Loving this build so much!

so glad moog decided to finish the up mini hatchbacks are so dope

You guys are motivating me to work on my 92 VW Golf👍

The work that’s gone into this so far is crazy 🤣

The great thing about black plastic is Turtle Wax's trim restore. All my black trim in my 04' Passat GL 1.8T Wagon looks fantastic. Perked the granny sleeper right up!

Very Cool Build. I'm with Marty, you should do it again, now that you know what's UP! with the whole process. BUT, you should do UP! a couple of them so that you have 1 to sell and make UP! some of the cost of the build UP!

Great vids… and a perfect example that some ideas aren’t worth pursuing 😅 what a mission!!! That said I hope you’re upgraded UP is freaking awesome!!!!

Hahaha, that startling was HI LA RI OUSSSSSS what was also funny when he removed the clock blocking thingy. Later in the vid he stated “ the steering works funny” 😂😂😂

That new seat interior brings back such nice nostalgic feelings of my Golf GTi MK2, which was exactly the same. No other interior was able to add that extra flare as much as that one.

Cracking build, can’t wait for more videos on this

Watching this has made me get my own little German nugget! Mad love for your up! keep going champ!

ive done a lot of these oem style conversion on commodores colorado and hsv I love the gm global platform I think its a great idea. i love this swap series and the level of commitment. i hope you do more maybe in more raw uncut version for us die hards that nerd out watching this id love to see the hurdles and the technical stuff on your second channel ;) also moog you spun the clock spring and you made me gasp lol....

Just heard the intro. My golf fan runs post driving after I leave the car to cool down. There’s no doubt a way of programming the fan behavior. VAG!
