I bought a cheap MK5 Golf GTI Edition 30 with a sketchy past!!! Everything wrong with it!! 

Awesome cars for the money I think even with their gremlins

Ah man that sucks!! But every cloud and all that, these cars are SOO good

Mostly surface rust yeah

Typical problems with red cars hey

I think it’ll be a very nice car with those bits sorted 👍

Cheers man, ah there’s one video on the mk2 already if you scroll down 😅 second one is coming soon 👍

Cheers Gary 👍

👍

100%

Nice one Ricky, will get some content on both asap

That’s it, only problem is I rarely have a few days free let alone weeks 😂

@kerbsidemobilemechanic you need to make time or you will make yourself ill .

People keep telling me this 😮‍💨

Thanks for the sub 👍 more to come shortly on this car

Still got it mate or haven’t you bothered much with it?

I think I may be of the same thinking unless body shop can cut it out and put a new bit of metal in but then that’s just more work

I paint my own stuff, but I have fixed both wings, rusting at exactly the same spot. The cheapest option would be to get second hand wings, they rust at the top of the arch due to the foam pad behind it (for dampening/sound proofing). My VW specialist told me to trim off the pad about 1cm away from the arch so that water won't gather. 'apparently' this was also the fix suggested by VW. I refurbished my Mk5 about 3 years ago and since I've fixed the pad, I've not had any rust come back. But then I did grind everything back, epoxy the living daylights out of it (front and back) and then put thick clear coat on it (ie, and overkill fix!)

Cheers 👍 no everything looks straight, I think maybe at some point subframe has been down so needs a good old alignment

Ideal m8 am currently looking for a mk5 golf gti 👍

Brilliant cars mate 👍

Hmm I shall check that out and sort out a wheel alignment as it drives spot on to be fair, thanks 👍

@@kerbsidemobilemechanic VW say you should put a special pin in the 18mm hole when you remove that bolt to avoid it moving too much

Makes sense though I guess 👍

Ah really appreciate it 👍

Yes, to a certain degree, but I failed to mention it’s got a full service history so not too bad hopefully

I heard you was taking a trip up from wales with a paint brush and roller?

@@kerbsidemobilemechanic I’m outside mate where are you? Hurry up before my paint drys

Let yourself in pal, left it unlocked for you

@@kerbsidemobilemechanic I don’t know where your 10mm or t30 went! Or who blocked the toilet

😂😂

I doubt it, must of been a dream you had…..or after the gear linkage broke 😂😂

In fairness you was stuck in 3rd gear... after i smoked you 🤪🤪👀👀

I think you need a refresher course in gaponomics class!!

Fix my water leak for me first 🤣🤣🤣

Just keep topping it up you’ll be fine 💀😅
