RESTORING MY SALVAGE VW MK8 GOLF R 

Thanks everyone for so much positivity on the first video! but don't forget to activate hidden features on your car get OBDeleven with discount code "SLIX" for discount! obdeleven.com/supported-vehicles?RU-vid&Chris+Slix

thought you were mugged off for that price until you showed the whole front end you got included with the deal! looks like a winner 👍

Mat Armstrong has been quiet lately, your videos are filling in well 👍 keep up the good work 👌

Aftermarket parts for the win! Save yourself some money!

Gone to Bradford for golf GTI parts, anybody missing a golf GTi?🤣🤣

You content is absolutely class! It’s all car car car building, no messing, it’s really grown on me over time and now you stand completely on your own right! Where’s the Merch? Massive Mat fan, and glad to see you doing so well.

What a great deal on your MK8, it's going to be better than new when it's done.

Can you do another shopping for parts video I really enjoyed that.

Love seeing hot hatches get rebuilt and modded. Waaaaay more relatable than something like a lambo!!!

Another banger. There is a few channels i watch every video and this is one of them. Never disappoints.

Chris should have over a 100k subscribers Top content from him 👍👍👍👌👌🇬🇧☝️

i bought a golf r estate 7.5 and boy does it go that i got 3 points on my driving licence 2 weeks later lol and just received 3 more points , i have calmed right down now but it kept up with a golf r brand new lol good luck in yours .

Great video and work. Look forward to next one. 👍👍👍👍

Nicee rebuild chris. Looks like plenty of plastics to be removed

Your a brave man playing with airbag connections with battery still coupled up mate 🙈 but keep up the hard work it's looking good and what a nice car it will be when it's finished 👍

Well done mate u doing a good job keep it up love watching your video just like your mate Matt Armstrong

Sweet sweet bonus with the deal with all those extras and front end sections. The repair, whilst definitely costly, isn’t massively technical with the majority being bolt off & on parts. The areas most requiring specialist skill being the paint and the door repair/paint. It will look mint when back together and the right colour. Question is ….. how far are you gonna go with the performance of this baby? The 27.5 purchase price doesn’t seem that great with the added bits and bobs - so you could potentially invest a few notes in turning it into something a wee bit tastier than stock performance ones. Make for good content too. But yeah I think you’ve got a decent enough buy there - not bad at all.

Oh Chris mate, the timing of this upload was perfect. Just got my food, started searching for a video and saw your upload. Cheers pal

Hey Chris, I am always excited to see your's and Mat's videos. Hope I can visit you guys some time. Greetings from Germany

Cracking job Chris made up it’s all going well mate 👍

That’s one slick air box Cris clove it mate 😊😊

I love this type of content. I'm not a mechanic at all, I just love watching. Especially when I own a mk7 R myself

Chris you have smashed it on this channel. mat does tons of exotic cars and you focus on cars the average working man can buy. the perfect balance. you two have something good here. it is my dream too be able too do this. consider yourself lucky man!

Definitly made up with those parts! Liked the video before i even watched it, keep up the vids man so entertaining! 100k soon :D

Nice one mate, didn't know you made videos aswell. Got another sub, keep up the good work!

It’s horrible to see how much brittle plastic is in the new age stuff. I get why, but look at the state of it for what is a fairly low key shunt. Dead interesting to watch you repair to be honest, thanks for taking the bullet first up!

Nice video and the inner rails are straight and OK. Good buy and great to see a performance company helping out. Would say this one you should keep.

He doesn't know what he's doing this is just entertainment too funny 😊😊

Hopefully all downhill from here Chris. Great video once again.

Deal of the year nice one ☝️

The bradpack as a bradfordian it made me giggle

Thanks for the discount code

This was a sweet deal Chris👌👌👌

When you get to it, are you able to show how you wire the front grille LED back into the BCM?

Loving this build and this channel in general. Keep up the great work Chris.

I'm really enjoying this build as it's more relatable than some of the supercars on RU-vid! Coming on nicely Chis!!

Very satisfying video Chris, nice work

You also need the airbag module , which must be the exact same part number as your old one

Love your content mate!! End project gonna be sick. Howzit from South africa

Great vid chris...real life car videos

Amazing job! Hopefully next we see complete interior work 👌🏽

There are lots of hidden systems, features and driving modes that you will find in the info system so you can tune the car to your own taste. Plus the Adaptive Cruise Control and lane keep assist on these Golf’s are really good. You car might have park assist where it can park into a bay without you doing the steering but it was an option so you might soon find out if it was specked on your car 😊

Great to see your progress over the yrs Chris. Brilliant editing, content and humour! Keeping it real 👍

Another great video Chris, making good progress so quick. Looking forward to the next video already.

Surprised Mat don’t do a collab with you as as your mate he could help your channel

Nice video chris and good luck with the rest of the rebuild✌️

Content is great, with the parts it’s a ok deal.

Great video and series mate. Looking forward to seeing this back on the road. Love the golf r platform

Best video to date, good hard work into this one and you have deffo upped your game, very well delivered, great videoing, perfect delivery, you looked way more comfortable

I’m definitely loving the content, I bought my first rebuild project and it was a right lemon 🍋 😂but never mind I think it will make good content. I think il need more than a Brad pack 😂

Chris these videos are really great

This built series is starting to get interesting, hopefully by the end of this built the 8R will be a beast...

I’m enjoying these videos, great work Chris 👍🏻

Nothing worse than a gapping hole in the bottom 😂 great job Chris 🇬🇧💪🏻

Dig the hat. Vids cool too 😜

Chris brother getting better and better good seeing you grow keep up the hard work lad

Great channel, a bit serious 😂 where the cheeky bits!! 😅

I’m enjoying this build good on you Chris 👌

Sure you can get rid of the bonnet stay and replace it with a gas strut think it would be much better, loving this car bit of a steal coming with all the parts 😂

I reckon you have to get the front end complete first, then move on to the interior. And what have you done with the smashed up bumper? If you haven’t binned it already I’d be interested.

Comfort windows is normally called global closure and its been standard on MOST cars since the mk3 mondeo !!!!

hi chris, love the videos, looking forward to this build. just as a heads up, you might wanna upgrade your battery to an agm one, the efb batteries are notoriously known to be a bit crap. i have a new one that i got replaced under warranty if you're interested

Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦

Nice work! BTW - the ‘weird glossy grey colour’ on the underside of the bonnet is primer.

Your videos are now getting better and better...epic 💪

New subscriber here, love the videos. Hope you blow up as much as Matt Armstrong has, keep em coming.

Great video well done 😊

Great video Chris 👌

Another awesome video buddy! One of my fave cars so watching this series very keenly! P.s is it worth asking Matt to share your videos like Taverish does for his? Might help your subs!!

If it had a VR6 twin turbo I would purchase the Golf 8 R. Had a MK4 Deep Blue Pearl R32, wish I still had it and did lose it to a flood 😢

I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t get any Golf parts in Bradford with the amount of them being stolen every week. It’s the stolen car capital in UK.

I had the r600 on my mk7. You can still hear it. Maybe not as much as an open kit

Do the front end first Chris. Hopefully finding a dash won't take long..!!

got to be interior next .

Good content keep it up bro✌️

Chris I’m really feeling a 911 Turbo next

GOOD VIDEO ❤!

Any plans for exterior mods? Not too fond of them in standard form but I reckon they could look decent with a few choice parts!

Doing well mate good watch this mate

What a guy

Sort the bags next

Be careful with the r600 with the uprated intercooler, i have the ea888 gen 3 engine and the r600 rubbed on the airtec intercooler creating a hole at the bottom. Most benefit is with the turbo elbow, tiguan battery covers fit also 😉 keep it up pal.

What?? Lisa didnt get you to get the Carbon R600 :) It definitely looks the part

quick question. how do you remember what screws go where?

Who ate all the pie's 😊😊😊

Will this car once completed be up for sale ? Would love to have this !

always Bradford or Birmingham

😂😂I like your videos bro

Bradford for a rad pack ha ha

Wonder who’s stolen GTI that rad pack is off👀🤣. If it’s from Bradford is definitely from a chop shop🤣

Because of you my next RU-vid build is going to be a crashed car! Keep smashing it Chris mate🥂

Don’t know why Matt Armstrong can’t do a shout out for your channel and help you out. You should have more subscribers

🤙

Fair play mate great video

Did the bradpack come off a cut and shut?

Surprised you never made a comment about everyone trying to get scammed on previous episode

Hats happening with the Jag... Are you selling it 🤔

Chris u live near me

25k that’s a lot bro just for those parts

That rad pack is defo off a stolen car
