Hey Everyone,
Thank you for the huge support last week!
This episode is intended to be a sister episode to the S6 episode. They are meant to be watched together and show two sides of the same period of time...
This side of the story is centered around the purchase of my 1984 GTI and most of the parts I will need to vr6 swap it... This has been a bucket list build of mine for a while and I am so excited to finally get started.
Thank you for watching, Consider liking & subscribing for more.

"Side B" - You got a like just for that, I wasn't even 10 seconds into the video. Great content as always!

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Haha I'm glad you liked it! Thank you a ton!

@skylarjayp 4 месяца назад

Holy shit. The shots, color grading, and story telling is 10/10. The fact that this is project car content just makes it even better. Great work, you've got a lot of talent.

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Haha I am thrilled you enjoyed the video that much! Thank you a ton for the support! It means the world to me

Definitely seizing the opportunity! A really great bunch of purchases! Very exciting!

@valentinh 4 месяца назад

This was so good to watch! You HAVE to start work on the GTI! You can't leave us hanging! Also the end was 👌!

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

I am stoked to work on it! It definitely won't be sitting too long haha. I've got a ton of projects that need to be tied up before it's gonna be the main focus though!

@karstenvr6 4 месяца назад

Nice opportunity, MK1 VR6 are even in Germany rare👍 the 12V fit, only near the belt pulley is hardly any space.

@Peaks209 4 месяца назад

Haha, this brought back memories of me stumbling onto my Mk4 R32 and dumping my life savings to get it.

@antonibednarek1489 Месяц назад

Finally someone with a mk1!!!!! And with so much talent of editing and filming!!! Can’t wait for the swap❤ I also own a mk1, I would love a vr6 swap, but don’t have the money for that yet… some day..

@HunterDirection Месяц назад

I'm stoked to get started on it! I'm getting close but am still collecting parts to make it possible haha

Hell yea, I miss my 84 rabbit!

@richardkbarney 4 месяца назад

Ahhh this is so sick and relatable. Bought an 86 Toyota Pickup off Craigslist in December. Fast forward 5 months, I buy an m50 w/s52 block swapped e30 and every time I go on Craigslist or marketplace to buy something normal for the house I end up browsing…. Dreaming… love those old gtis. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

@123Johnny 4 месяца назад

Oh no...Down the rabbit hole you go! 😂 Enjoying your videos and editing style. Looking forward to the mk1 vrt!

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Man! Rabbit hole is a great title for the future haha😆 I'm glad you're excited!

@GERntleMAN 4 месяца назад

Grade A production, really really nice. The only thing stopping me from having more project cars is, yearly insurance and tax. On average, it's 1500€ per year per car. So having 5 registered cars is already a pricey undergoing.

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Yeah I totally get the insurance aspect! That's going to be a pretty big expense that can't be avoided sadly.

@hendrikvandenberg 4 месяца назад

another great vid, good font.. ps - if you need any spares for the mk1 - hmu, as you probably know - they were produced and sold in South Africa up till recently, and there are plenty of upgrade / aftermarket spares available here

@czLochy 4 месяца назад

Hahah, amazing video. Already know I'd be the exact same if I had a house, excited for where this channel is headed man, keep it up!

@budgetbuildracing2344 4 месяца назад

I have the same Facebook marketplace addiction😂. I bought a b5 s4 sight unseen while deployed. It was one of deals I couldn’t pass up.

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

I'm glad I'm not alone😆 deals are everywhere!

@budgetbuildracing2344 4 месяца назад

@@HunterDirection 4500 for a running and driving stage 3 s4, who wouldn’t buy that. I feel there are lots of us out there with the same problem🤣

4 месяца назад

You are going to need a bigger garage before you are finished with the current one! 😂

@shirwynscope4276 4 месяца назад

I always fight off having more then one project lol

@iadubber 4 месяца назад

I’m having dejavu. Didn’t we see a video of you getting the s6 and the 2.7 motor? Love your videos!

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

No deja vu haha. This video was a sister episode to the S6 one! The timeline for both cars happens at the same time, so I split the videos so they tell two sides of the same story. This one has more gti details than S6. Both together have the complete story haha.

@dc5fallout 4 месяца назад

Next weeks episode: Buying a R32 Golf 👀

@grantclaassens612 4 месяца назад

On the mk1,are you going to open up the swage line on the sides of the body that someone filled up,I hate it when people did that to mk1's back in the day

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Man I really want to. Figuring out how to open them up is going to be the hard part though. Since we will probably paint the whole thing should be doable though!

@ilyastouring3132 4 месяца назад

I'm a bit concerned about where you're going!!!

@RyanFannon-fy1yf 4 месяца назад

Hahahahaha. 😂😂. I just bought a 3rd gen Camaro for $200 as well.

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

@grantlingley1385 4 месяца назад

I have commented on earlier episodes but love the format and I get a kick out of the ongoing “Project” life! I live vicariously through his videos! Another similar channel is Soup Car Motoring. Both are excellent!

@teamphashash 4 месяца назад

Some mk1 trivia:vw South Africa did make a mk1 R line. It was a face-lifted mk1 golf. They make the citi golf till 2009. Jamie Orr imported one to the U.S with a 3.6 swap.

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

That's super cool! I saw some articles on that when I was doing research on the platform!

@SHWELL11 4 месяца назад

I used to have one in HS.. Your Collection completes me. Nice score.. VR6 swap is Tits.. Had tone of those too in the 90's!

@FrancoisProjects 4 месяца назад

Nice mk1 ❤ Here in south Africa 🇿🇦. U never trust an mk1 😂 some off them sleepers then they push like 400kw 😂 (think in horse power its like 700hp)

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

Haha it's awesome they have that reputation! They can be total sleepers haha!

@FrancoisProjects 4 месяца назад

@HunterDirection see now u guys, have the Jetta 1 front end on the golf. Our golf's have different front end. Due to production cost, to keep them down. Until next Saturday. 😉

@i976scirocco3 4 месяца назад

Have you ever thrown a hammer? Go outside and try it. When you do, that will give an idea of the handling of a VR6 MK1.🤔 Step 1, sell all the VR6 stuff. Step 2, Go buy a running MK3 2.0L (if you can find one, lol) Step 3 , Swap in the 2.0L 😁 Take it from someone who's first MK1 was a '78 (only slightly used at the time) Great video and good luck with your build.

@bangarng 4 месяца назад

Also that Techtonic Sticker, consider their exhaust for the swap. My brother has it on his vr6 corrado and it's sounds absolutely amazing.

@carolinacars739 4 месяца назад

This is reminding me of when I got my house and started buying stuff... Now I think I need to move to a downsizing phase. Keep up the content. I'm excited to see you start working on these!

@crushdamushrooms 4 месяца назад

These videos are incredible! It's a breath of fresh air in the RU-vid car scene. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more content!!

@MrCaprinut 4 месяца назад

This was brilliant made! Love Mk1 Golfs as well! I guess I heritaged the VW bit from my dad 🙂

@brokewrenching 4 месяца назад

Love the video, especially the intro! This feels like the average experience of a car enthusiast with ADHD.

@ianny1950 4 месяца назад

Nice! I am glad you bought it. I have a Golf mk2 and an mk3, wanna restore them one day.

@shelbymccaul6505 4 месяца назад

Being a home owner is really suiting you well, my addicted friend. Hahaha. Can’t wait for S6 episodes. Please get rid of the late westy front on the GTI. I personally like the early westy, but rounds is always a good choice. Nice score!

@HunterDirection 4 месяца назад

I'm stoked for the S6 too! I think it makes sense to try and get that running as soon as possible since the gti is a much larger project! And yeah the old front end is iconic!

@va1ey 4 месяца назад

Thats awesome! Sounds like a sweet project!

@jeffkoch8612 4 месяца назад

Love it! Just got a 91 GTI on the road that I purchased last year. Blew the trans on the way back from NJ to Paducah KY, the last 700 miles was in 4th gear at redline. I get back and start sourcing parts for the 02J 1.8T conversion, and bought another 91 😂 Waiting on the 02J and cable shift to arrive while the parts pile up, now I’m doing 2 of these cars this year haaha
