Bargain £325 Copart VW Golf Quick Fix Cheap Repair 

Love these little cheap flips, it’s a great car with a bit more life in it. I think it’s far greener to keep a car on the road rather than build a new one to replace it.

Great video Rob. Watching you dodging the rain reminds me of the time 40+ years ago when I helped my dad replace a rear subframe on a 1964 mini. We stayed in a council flat at the time, on a slight hill, and it was chucking it down, plus since this is the west of Scotland, it was Baltic!,. We had an old fireside rug to lay on, and I remember lying underneath the car helping him to bolt on the new ( second hand from a scrap yard ) subframe. The rainwater was running down the kerbside of the road and here’s me 2 inches away from the kerb lying on my back! Great memories, but please don’t ask me to do it again!! Great job guys, love the channel.👍

Great stuff Rob. My ex-boss bought a new DB7GT and got it absolutely filthy. Muggings was told to fill the tank and give it a wash. So l take her down to Sainbury's, fill the tank, drive back and give the old girl a good scrub. It was so dirty l gave the worst area's a dose of TFR (traffic film remover). Chamoised it down and NOooo! The TFR had eaten into the headlamp glass ! So l did what you did and luckily job done ! The boss comes to take the gleaming DB7 GT and said "well what do think she goes like then " l said quick as a flash "Trevor it' s a 30 limit ! " "correct answer" and shot off into the distance! Well done on the Golf !

Once you have compound/polished the light, get yourself some headlight clear lacquer and do 2 coats, they don't even have to look perfectly clear with the compound and polish, the result of the clear coat makes the light absolutely crystal clear the result is astonishing, also stops it going milky again in the future.

Rob - you no longer need a hight viz jacket - just smile more. Seriously though another useful video of "what to do tools" for the lilbary.

Rob. Great effort. Had a giggle when you were tapping at the door with the hammer & dolly. Remembered Father Ted fixing his car. 😂

Loved the fact that you showed how to clean properly the front headlights. Im finally gonna have a go at cleaning my Type R Ep3 lights that look like it's got cataracts lol

It is amazing how you turn a buckled door/wing round in no time, I really enjoy all the body work stuff as It is something I never got involved with, it always seemed a bit of a mystery to me😎 Now I have an idea what goes on in the other workshops! I think I will have a go at my fog lights, they have milked up like the ones you just did. I'll tell you if I am as bad as I think I am, but you explained it nice and clear and pretty much as you would have got back in college, nice job Rob👍

These Golf’s really do keep their value, bought one last year had a broken gear linkage relay lever which I got replaced at a VW main dealer for £113 in total and bought the car itself at £450. Got it relayed to the garage for £70. Around £635 spent on it, mileage was 168,000 miles with FULL service history, we cleaned the car ourselves and sold it for £2100 and the amount of people we had interested was unbelievable. All in all a nice car and decent profit!

I could quite happily spend my days driving that forklift and moving cars in that yard

great job on the Golf, must show my missus what hers can look like if she ever cleaned it!

Have great weekend Rob and Chris just watching this at moment on my break at work on night shift as always big thumbs up for channel 🤗

Bargain that for six hundred, come up good fair play, time to stop waffling and eat my tea 👌

Thanks Rob, that's another little bullet proof golf back on the road instead of a scrapper, someone's new pride and joy mate. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Often wondered what grit of paper to use for headlights, nice one Rob. Worth 600 notes all day that.

Hi rob and Chris another brilliant video as always and yes that door does look really good and the wing does as well and you both work really well together and hope you are staying safe and well

I’ve got to do a set of headlights so that actually helped! Cheers rob! Hope Chris is ok and ill see you boys in the next one..

Did I miss you explaining about not replacing the arch liner? Nice little car. Great work as usual. 👍

Rob, Well done thank you for trade tips on restoring headlights Keep video up to 20 mins max any longer people will be fed up

clearly man is professional in this role 1. knows what hes buying 2.knows what work need to be done and expenses

Another cracking video Rob, great quality workmanship. Didn't know you were a security guard as well. Outstanding!

Perfect timing was watching your micro camper from 6 months ago slowly getting through all your videos the golf is looking good 👌

Excellent video again rob , done a few lights myself with 1200 and the mop , surprisingly easy to do and makes hell of a difference , longer the videos the better 😁

My new wheelers dealers Keep up the good work Loving it 😀😃👍

What a difference on the headlights, amazing transformation! Nice little cheap runaround for someone. Thumbs up from me !!

Hi rob wow £50 pound for that lot is brilliant well done

Great stuff Rob! Suprised you fit all this content into a 20 minute video! Apparently you can lose upto 60% light efficiency through scratched/faded headlight lenses..!!

Spot on !! Have a good weekend boys

Amazing little turnaround! More cheapie vag cars like this please. Thanks

Get yourself a pop up gazebo like they use for the rally scene Rob they are awesome when the rain comes down

Cracking vid Rob - great the way it all came together - another profit (because it will sell ) and excellent content. Drivers door now opening and closing “just like a Golf” should!! 😁

That’s a perfect city run-around/first car for someone. Great little flip and turn around.

Yet another great video Rob surprising how well things can go with a bit of elbow grease

This lovely little Golf has cleaned up really well, it looks very presentable now, which just goes to show how a little time and patience can totally transform a car!!.

That went well, from zero to hero and all in one day's work. The biggest task was getting the axel parts to get the wheel back in line. Some very useful demonstrations, especially the one on sorting the headlight clouding. Good pace and good results, nothing else to add really.

enjoyed this Vid.. £600.. well worth it that dent in the door wouldnt bother me,, i used to live in Bristol could never find a parking space near my flat always had to park in back streets rather than get a ticket often went to my car and found someone had dinged it or took out mirror, great little city run about

Enjoyed this format. It’s nice to have the tips of the trade from people that have been doing it for a while More please

Always worth lacquering plastic lights after removing the yellowing otherwise it will soon return if you're keeping it.

Excellent job , its ok to have the Shearness and the Finesse but one cant have the yellowness , another great vid well done guys

Still the best on RU-vid

Nice piece on the Headlight deburring Rob, enjoyed that and very traditional method. I personally use Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0 which achieves exactly the same result, but you only need a rubbing in cloth for the paste and a buffing cloth - kinda like a T-Cut for Headlights (which would also work) ! Once again, another great vid, keep up the great work!

Hi Rob, good days work, turned it straight round into a usable car. £600 should be straight out the door. Cheers, Alex.

Your amazing Rob, committed for all the viewers to work in the rain! All a faff trying to get the parts too! All appreciated & Thank you!

Golf turned out well, few hours labour and she's ready to leave the yard 😁👍

Love the way you always work your magic Rob, great video as always buddy😉👍

Great transformation, if i was in the UK i would pay £600 as it is, that golf is going to be a great bangernomic run around for somebody.

What’s your tips on keeping your white trainers clean? Every video either in the scrappies or in the yard,white trainers!! LOL

Another cracking video guys, it just shows what difference a day makes! That will be a cracking little run around for somebody and it just shows what a difference can be achieved with polishing the headlights. I did hear of somebody locally who was charged over £150 each for new headlights for their vehicle as the headlights were cloudy at MOT and the MOT tester told them they couldn’t do anything with them. They asked for the old headlights to be put in the back of the car and you could tell just by looking at the headlight they haven’t even tried to do anything with them!

The rear wheel alignment was easier than I thought Rob. I figured it to be a full trailing arm like on the red polo. And thanks for showing how to prepare and repair the headlight lenses. Amazing difference. This will be a great project for someone to finish off. 👍👍

Absolute yes to the longer video. What a nice pocket money car for you and the future buyer. I would have thought at £750 it would still have been a cracking buy. Typical weather but hey¬! it rains and as they say the show must go on. Keep up the good work Rob. Stay safe and well. Cheers, Bob

Those lights have made a world of difference Rob. Transformed the car. Well done.

Nice job you should have taken the foam blocks from behind the front wing water trap and the reason most golfs have wing rust

Great job on the Golf Rob, interesting to watch you spin up the headlights and what a difference👍👍 Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

another great video...short and sweet, you the master of no waffling, love it.

Quite a change on the head lights. Do you ever get messages off people say that was my car? :-)

Thanks for the tip about the lights rob . Still a great channel and content . Maybe leave the panel beating for Chris .. ( the master )

Good job Rob. Just remember you wont shrink in the rain

The cheapy cars are the favourites to watch you work on. Practical skills of the everyday motorists. Thank you for creating, it was enjoyable.

Good job mate 👍🏻but them lights need to be sprayed again with clear coat or UV light to keep them shine like that.enjoyed the video

Multi talented rob. Not only a mechanical engineering genius but a ocular surgeon too with the cateraxs removal. 👍👍👍👀

Nice job. Chris subcontracted the bodywork today.

Looks like a new car!! Thanks for the headlight tutorial!!

Mutts nuts as usual , really do get lot of pleasure and ideas out of these videos. I see the little Kangoo camper still sitting there teasing us!😂

Longer is always better, keep 'em coming guys

really good turn round on that rob. long or short vids love em all

So much more appealing after the work done and better value than most cars you might see at £600. Even at that price, it will make a contribution to your fixed costs which is what it's all about if no better prospect presents itself at the auctions..

Bad luck lads - can't win them all. Useful video. Collecting it from a railway station was maybe a bit of an alarm bell - a bit like getting one from a pub or supermarket car park rather than from the seller's home address on the V5 - I wonder how he got it to the station without a stream of oil all over the road?

Good tip with the lights 👍

Brilliant love the longer video lots of different content you smashed it keep it coming and keep safe 👏👏👏👏👏😉

You didn’t finish the headlights you need to reapply UV spray after wet sanding them.

I had a 1992 VW Golf. I really liked that car. Great fuel milage and you could cruise at 90 mph all day.

Just shows what you can do with abit of knowledge and elbow grease yet again brilliant video Rob. PS. We might see you on news at ten with a big camera on your shoulder following a news reader round thanks for the video keep up the good work thanks 😊

Put some ear defenders on when using that polisher will save the ringing in your ears ! Great video as always :)

Headlights that are really bad (I've done mine) you can sand them with p320 on a sander, I've buffed scores out with p120 with a sander and work through the grades up to the p1500, I polished mine but it only lasts so long before they go cloudy again, in the summer I rubbed them down, masked them up and gave them a few coats of Halfords aerosol lawyer and they still look good 😉

Great work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care

Amazing how that cleaned up. Also, I was about to text about polishing headlights and blow me down, you did it! Nice.

You can only polish headlights once or twice as the plastic can become brittle and crack. On new cars or new headlights you can spray some UV protection on or even lacquer them to stop them going cloudy.

as usual i enjoyed the video you're Channel in my opinion is the best out there 👍

Good video rod. A quick turn around was need and that's what it got. Good little car for some one.. Had one off these myself...... Keep the vw's coming 👍VW👍

ROB YOUR CHANNEL IS THE BEST ON RU-vid ......

Another quick but effective transformation. Good for the quoted money as is I would say. Stay warm!

Headlight restoration - best, easiest and cheapest solution I've used has been Armorall Headlight Wipes. Five minute job and the finish lasts for ages, really recommended.

I really enjoyed that one Rob.

Looking good love the technical side 👍👍

Great job as usual lads and some nice wee tips and tricks as well Rob. Thank you 👍

Come rain or shine! Looks really good for little input of parts.

Great video Rob, I use compound and t cut on the plastic headlights and also on the plastic back window for convertibles, keep up the good work :o)

Nice one Rob. Makes you wonder why everyone’s forking out hundreds each month on PCPs

You can't go wrong with a Golf Rob, another brilliant video. Thanks and all the best.

Excellent. A proper bargain car. I like the longer videos, always enjoy seeing how you sort out your cars.

That looks totally different now Rob. What a great little car👍

Another great video lads, A BIG thanks from us 🙏🏻

Great polishing those headlights 👍🏻 Get a gazebo for them rainy days 🌨 Have lovely weekend guys 👍🏻

Videps are always enjoyable. Worth the effort to freshen up a tired looking golf. Nice trade motor for someone now! Great work.

I wish I was in the UK. My eldest is just getting her license and this would be perfect for her

3 Door mk5 golfs do very well with the young team my son had one for his first car great little thing.

More fantastic content. Great to see the transformation of the Golf, and the headlights make it look so much better. Stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏼🙂

Nice little video, nice to see your occassionaly filling in the gaps showing other aspects of what goes into sorting out vehicles. Particularly when it doesnt involve having to have expensive equipment on hand.....Liked it a lot !!!! Pat in Cyprus

Quick turn around Rob, hope you don't catch a cold. Headlight tip was great, most of us would just have got new ones, you have just save a few quid for some people. Nice one!!

Excellent video rob ,that golf came up well nice cheap car for someone 995 all day😃
