Now we are finally moved into the new workshop it is time to kick off with a new project in the form of this 1985 Mk2 Vw Polo 86c Coupe. In this series I want to try and build a show car on a budget from a 'scrap' car. Trying to show that you don't need to throw loads of money at things to build a cool car.

Call it “The Chamber”

@bikersparky Год назад

Spot on that! The chamber!

@damianpogson1156 Год назад

I was just about to say the same thing 👍

@stephenwhite3832 Год назад

Haha love it 👊🏻

@Devastator0 Год назад

lol yeah it’s kind of just begging for this to be the name

@siyabongamncwabe4719 Год назад

I was about to say that too "The Chamber" sounds great 💯

@stuart7523 Год назад

Fair play with the new unit Dan, hard work paying off. I reckon you should call it "the DAC Shack" 🤘

@deanw666 Год назад

THIS 100%

@garrylaughlan3283 Год назад

New workshop looks top class 👌 How about "DAC Shack*

@nickrendell4300 Год назад

Call your new workshop ‘The DAC SHACK’ with the knowledge and practice you gained on the golf project, the polo project it’s going to be amazing.well done to you for making a dream come true with the new workshop.👊👍🔥

@andrewhumes4163 Год назад

Chambers Chamber? Dan’s Design Haus? Your energy and enthusiasm is fantastic. Enjoy.

@thebeardsgarage Год назад

Lighting in the shop turned out great for the videos!

@charlesmott8863 Год назад

Metal Bumpers, Twin round lights! Look forward to it, Happy Birthday to Abigail!

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank you dude

@filipwennergren2712 Год назад

The Shed! Because that what it was before. This build will be fun!!!

@mikeyg4297 Год назад

The money saved on rent of the unit aswell as only a walk up the garden as a commute are big plus points . I must say well done in such a quick build of the unit and Im not jealous much!!!

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank you bud, Yeah the commute is a lot more bearable now!

@mikeyg4297 Год назад

Engine wise I think go lupo gti with turbo

@hoverparagliding Год назад

Yeah you gotta call it the Chamber, good shout Nick Sturrock

@Bobs_Bespoke_Spanners Год назад

Colour has to be white or mint green to go with the “Polo” theme. 1.4 tfsi engine swap Name of the new unit could be “Dans Automotive Centre” to go with the DAC channel 😉 Keep the cracking episodes rolling Dan, easily my favourite channel on RU-vid 🙌👍

@preneshpakkiri5565 Год назад

Lovely set of wheels and bagged

@carguyuk7525 Год назад

You must be so busy in the week, evenings and weekends. The amount of progress is amazing. Don't burn yourself out. Love the channel. One of the best on RU-vid.

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

I have a fair bit going on! Thank you bud, Really appreciate it.

@mrkthmn Год назад

Congratulation on this next chapter of your life! You've earned it!

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank you so much!

@peterkobrin Год назад

Someone said UniT5. Rolls off the tongue nicely. 👌🏼

@graemehay9149 Год назад

Double round headlights, mk1 bumpers, gunmetal metallic grey, anthracite interior with deep red accents, polo GTI engine(?), widen arches and wheels, lowered and a kicking sound set-up. That’s my votes.

@matmarsden1 Год назад

Yes Dan, so glad you’re doing a polo coupe. I had two of these, an early Y reg with 4 speed gbox then after that a H reg gt. The g40 was the one to have. Supercharged.👍🏻

@neilheslam1114 Год назад

Silver looks class in this shape Dan, I’d go for a mad bike engine in this!

@chrisb8416 Год назад

Came here for the garage build, staying for the vw content!

@shane555 Год назад

I'm always in awe when you go around a vehicle, pointing out bits that I'd consider the end of the world and go "that bit's not too bad" 😂

@andrewnewton5893 Год назад

Little polo couple remember these little gems MK2 golf GTi would go well

@andrewnewton5893 Год назад

Or make her a decent g40

@ollieguyon Год назад

Great project and love the low budget challenge! I reckon the 1.4 AFH 16V would be a great match.

@WelshGallivanter Год назад

Call it Castle Greyskull 🏰 I am looking forward to watching the next project 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@nigelbullman1351 Год назад

Nice new project Dan. Metal bumpers defo and oak green paint 😊

@gazman5980 Год назад

16v Golf gti lump...perfect

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

👌

@lk.tuning Год назад

Hello from Finland 🇫🇮 Yes 👍 Nice VW Polo project 👍

@RonaldMedia Год назад

Black (red accents) or green with chrome bits. And I like "The Chamber" people have suggested.

@Bjyrgen666 Год назад

AFH swap! Classic, tested, great looking and fast!

@christernorlisvenningsen9197 Год назад

Love your new workshop👍

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank You!

@hermandippenaar1351 Год назад

Put a few names out on a vote! ''The Chambers'' definitely a good one or ''The Chamber's Shop''. Again congrats on your achievement Dan. Keep up the good work.

@alanparkinson5724 Год назад

Not watched for a while great new place call it Dan's cave like new project

@williamnock8500 Год назад

Dan call it The Hanger 👍🏼👍🏼 great video 🙌🏻

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thanks bud

@ColinM_YouTube Год назад

I’d call it UniT5 in homage to your first T5 build. The polo would look ace in a nice brown with some gold wheels imo, but whatever you do Dan it will look great 👊🏻

@preneshpakkiri5565 Год назад

Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg 🇿🇦

@danclark-lw5nj Год назад

Berg cup style, retro deep dish wheels, subtle modern Grey, interior plush and black (carpet, alcantara, leather etc) Corsa vxr recaro style front seats.

@jondavis5047 Год назад

Colour- Blackberry with bronze wheels! Single round headlights and 16v mk2 golf engine 👌🏻

@BrewsAndMk2s Год назад

My first car was a 1043cc 5 speed mk2 polo Parade 😊 always loved these cars.

@richardwren4348 Год назад

Workshop , or should that be "Dan's Den" looks amazing. I've watched from the start but thought I'd add a comment to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I'd look at putting a bike engine in as it would be a go kart..... also I saw the comment about mint green. Polo mint perfect. Mint green with black leather and a green check similar to the T5 seats. Can't wait to see how itbturns out as everything else you've built have been Fantastic. Keep up the great work. Are you doing anymore updates on the house channel?

@KyushaStyleTuning Год назад

Excited for this build! 😎👍🛠

@stuartroberts2537 Год назад

Id call the workshop chamber of secrets lol cant wait to see it all underway

@Gravity-campers Год назад

As someone else said the Dac shack sounds cool, as for the car I'd say exterior vw mango green small mk1 bumpers in black and black trims Interior original dash seats in black Alcantara with Harris tweed centres 👌🏻

@connoryz125 Год назад

So glad I’ve come across your Channel. first video I’ve seen and it’s nice to see someone saving the old polo instead of scraping it. Hoping to get some inspiration for my 6n1

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank you bud.

@DanChambersDAC Год назад

Thank you bud.

@fatboymotorsport Год назад

Best of luck Dan, should be an interesting build,

@decalshedsignsco6849 Год назад

Great content. looking forward to the build name: "V" shed

@andypaul382 Год назад

Can't wait for this build 🙌

@timsiggs7993 Год назад

Workshop does you credit. You refer to as the new space so call it "The Space"!

@nickball405 Год назад

Get a 1.2tsi in there and give it some modern G40 vibes. ❤️

@philtucker1224 Год назад

I still think you should have a little window in the kitchen facing out towards the big door, just so you can see what’s going on while the kettles boiling..

@RetroRebuild Год назад

Love a mk2 hatchback, looking forward to this 👍

@pipo2203 Год назад

A 1.9 VW TDI with a cummins injection pump and an aftermarket turbo would be really cool🤟🏼👌🏼

@Draxterwav Год назад

Amazing now im not annoyed it's wonderful project ❤

@jayinmi3706 Год назад

I kinda picture it in a Green, with green tartan trimmed seats (Relicate Leather sells a nice green tartan) and Mk1 flares.

@sanmiguel4019 Год назад

Single round headlamps, oak green.

@johnstubbs1585 Год назад

Great new shop maybe the Dac cave be good name

@stevenpavan327 Год назад

You should build a version of a Rally Car. It would be sweet.

@elvinklit Год назад

This proposal may be a little controversial, but... Regarding engine: 1.2tdi 3cyl from Lupo. With remap, it can handle around 100bhp. Bumpers: narrow in chrome. Fenders: built in metal and made wide up by Hood/rear windows (a bit like BMW M3)... Not much but enough to get the wheels well up in the wheel arches. Color: "apple"-green or maybe Harleqin?

@martinsherred8302 Год назад

Excellent project ahead,my son has a 1991 mk2f Breadvan so we’re right on this project ahead of us.Quality as ever Dan.👌

@MaA-he9sj Год назад

Call the garage “BARN BUILDS” keep up the good work 👍🇬🇧

@Ghost20V Год назад

Excellent new workshop, Call it the Chamber best engine 1.4 16v out of 9n polo lightweight & revs.

@FrankParkin Год назад

1.3/G40 cup car. Low and wide. Great choice!

@andydwd Год назад

First off, happy almost birthday to Abi. I reckon you should do a full old school rally slack build but with a full tuned Golf GTD engine and drive train. Maybe interior too. Good fuel mileage with silly power in that light shell

@iandevlin6824 Год назад

Nice 👌🏻 looking forward to this 1 Dan 😬

@777Melin Год назад

Engínge: pd130 or something similar that would fit.. Bumpers: either none or the smallest ones probably in black/commercial t5 bumper color.. Headlights: There is no choice, round or homemade LED things that will definelty go through the uk MoT.. lol Color: Thought you had your own DAC signature color mate? ;) anyway, love your builds, love the shop, good luck and have fun! Dont forget to take a well deserved vacation!

@doncorolla9935 Год назад

I would do a safari build with light green paint and brown interior with the black plastic trim on the extirior. Ofcourse alot of round lights and some fun accesories.

@richardcolbourne9289 Год назад

Love the new project. How about a Berg cup build with a N/A screamer of an engine.

@michaelprestage1447 Год назад

The ‘Dac Shack’

@drewsteroriginals4564 Год назад

Great video, good to see whats brewing in DAC HQ, looking forward to the updates as love a good polo!

@wakeup6755 Год назад

Going too enjoy watching this

@markmurphy3578 Год назад

A light metallic green and twin headlights. I’m easy about the rest of it!

@h12st_d63 Год назад

I’m calling a small capacity modern diesel, nice and torquey would be great fun in a small car and within budget 👌🏻

@larsh5808 Год назад

This is gonna be a fun one. 😮 Original color, as low as you can go, BBS Mahle 14s with gold senter. Maybe Golf GTi front / back seats in black leather. Headliner and A/B/C pillars in alacantara ish like the T5. G40 engine with G60 supercharger and toothed belt. G60 injectors.

@danheason8569 Год назад

1.4 afh, dead easy to polish up for the show points, and also an easy engine to tune👌

@tinydragonful Год назад

Yes mate,good choice! :) I had an E plate Coupe S and loved it, maybe go wide and low,twin headlights....

@jamowallace Год назад

Man I love those old school polos….great project Dan

@danielkerryann Год назад

Chambers Chamber, obviously!!!!

@Z50j1 Год назад

A good option for rear arch repair panels is to cut up a front wing from the opposite side. I had a saloon and was bang on. Also, these polos are pretty weak so probably best to keep to the small VW engine family. Anything from 1.3 to 1.6 with carb, injection or turbo.

@johnbutler6538 Год назад

She’s gonna be a belter when done. Maybe paint it a blue colour

@trimportersvanconversions6973 Год назад

Ooooh little 8v crossflow with carbs!? nice one mate😎

@adambell-qp9hb Год назад

Flared arches and sills like the mk2 golf rallye would be cool 😎

@tonypotter5589 Год назад

You should have it dipped to reveal the real extent of the rust plus it gives you a fresh start. I'd say keep it it silver! Looks ace 👌

@andyl73 Год назад

Can't wait to see it 1.4 16v from 6n polo. Slammed on dished wheels. Maybe a pastel colour 🤔

@ivorbigunification Год назад

Dan get yourself an Oscillating Multi-Tool with a sharpend bit for the underseal.

@supdus Год назад

Would love to see you do a scirocco

@djmarkee.c9406 Год назад

First of all Dan ,I'd strip it and dip it ,and go from there,love ya vids 👍🤜

@steve5772 Год назад

Careful when you're cutting and welding. Polos are rather flexible, so make sure it's well supported and any apertures braced, or you can suddenly find you've restored your car but the doors don't shut right.

@dannyfinch6700 Год назад

I had one as my first car, polo fox, g reg, bread van type. Great little car. Petrol tank used to leak at bottom of filler pipe (new tank fixed it)

@sanmiguel4019 Год назад

My auntie had one 35 years ago, borrowed it for an afternoon, my memry of it was, as soon as you see a roundabout, start braking, because they were so abysmally poor!

@MatthewBrownUK Год назад

Dan it's your Bat Cave!

@zakwestwood3170 Год назад

THE DAC SHACK 👍

@scottparker2591 Год назад

'Less is more' simple and clean is always a winner. Would an 'UP gti' motor work in the small bay

@Clutchdjw Год назад

Engine I'd recommend is the 6n2 1.6 GTI/6n 1.4 16v AFH frankenengine. 6n2 1.6 bottom end with the 1.4 16v head. Set of ITB's and a decent 4 into 1 manifold and it'll be reeeet

@valeboy100 Год назад

I’d call it the transformation station.

@bikersparky Год назад

And we’re back! Yes! Can’t wait, looks a great solid little motor, these were rare back in the day, maybe some nods to the G40 version. Let’s do this in the chamber of rusty miracles 😂

@damo88 Год назад

1.6 on a nice set of carbs . Period rainbow interior same as the 8v Gti golf . Single headlights with the cross hatches . See if g60 arches would fit , would give you a nice stance . There’s a couple ideas . Colour I’d go oak green 😊 She’d name “chambers”

@kingcal53 Год назад

Could call the new workshop The Hanger? Great new project, under appreciated classic. Square headlights from the Derby and Mk1 Golf metal bumpers would be a good combo. Colour wise, keep it silver or so for one of the Mk1 Golf/Polo colours - Marino Yellow, Miami Blue, Lofoten Green etc. Looking forward to seeing the progress!

@autovagauto6329 Год назад

Everything what come for free after cost lots I’m excited to see I watched already you’re all Volkswagen projects I just finish my Volkswagen Corrado vr6 after 4 long years

@rimave07 Год назад

You should call it ‘The DAC Box’.

@RetroRewind77 Год назад

Omg yes looking forward to this build. Would love to see a tuned G40 engine and colour orange.

@2f-yak Год назад

Finally another person who's doing a mk2 polo build on YT! I have a bike carbed mk2f as my daily and its the most fun I've ever had.

@2f-yak Год назад

For the engine put a 1.6 16v out of a 6n2 GTI or a 1.4 16V AFH Engine from the 6n1. They're the best for the money, especially on bike carbs. You can get around 135hp out of one on bike carbs
