James Pumphrey from Donut Media is long time VW enthusiast. This video follows the start to finish life of the now 2.5 Turbo 5 cylinder MK3 Golf.
This MK3 started out as a very base model Golf CL, which is a European model. This car was imported by Jamie Orr, and was driven to the SEMA show which is where James purchased the car.
James then sent the car from Donut media in California to Eurowise for an overhaul. The guys from Eurowise have done an amazing job on this build and we are so happy to have chronicled it.

I’m so glad that this car is still living its best life now with James! The first thing I did after buying it in Germany was drive it flat out on the Autobahn, and it did manage over 100mph IIRC 😅So the old engine wasn’t that bad, but the new one is a work of art. Thanks for sharing the story Deutsche Auto Parts!

@DanielBertolozi 2 года назад

I was surprised to see what horsepower it was providing tho, was expecting more lol A quick trivia: you can find tons and tons of that engine in Brazil (as the so-called AP engine, just slightly different that the golf's). It's a favorite for cheap horsepower, people can easily get 200+ HP with a basic turbo setup w/ stock internals. Here's one example with 500+ HP: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RQw461FCKVM.html

My aunt bought it new in 93 in France 🇫🇷. And 15 years later, give it to me. So many good memories behind its wheels. Exact same model but the color. Same watch instead of RPM (Stick shifting only by feeling 🤩), same interior , same bumpers, same engine (1.8l), same original wheels (13") . Damn i've never been so emotional watch videos on RU-vid.

I had a wings west body kit on my MK3 back in high school I loved it. I had some weird hard to get GTI side trim badge that everyone flipped out about when I went to car meets. I guess it was rare? I also had the air ducts that replaced the reflectors in the bumper. and on the bottom in the corners I found some air ducts and had them shipped from the UK . I do have to say though I stuffed 19" axis wheels on my vr6 Bright white 5 spokes on a ALL red car it stood out. then I had another set of 17" BBS I uses to swap them out constantly. god I loved that car.
