I’m the original owner of this Golf. Bought it new in 1998 and it was my daily driver for 24 years before I let it go 😢 Take good care of her guys! ❤

The mere irony of the video's caption bro. "Beginner friendly 48hr build" proceeds to get help from like 4 specialist friends and even a customized wiring harness from england.

Before doing exhaust, wheels and coilovers, i always recommend doing maintenance and un-clapping the car. Get rid of the «Oh yeah it does that» stuff.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I love what you're doing with your platform, James. You're one of the best to ever do automotive journalism, and the originator of a fresh and much-needed style.

I've been waiting for someone to make a video like this for ages! For new people to the car scene, sometimes it's tough to know where to start, and I really feel for them. Great job, James and co. 👏
