golf 2 has always played
a big role for me since I was 15 years old that was the first time
I went to meet my neighbor with vw and actually had mine I like the shape of the car
and the countless possibilities can realize because there are just so many parts
and so many different things that you can do there and there will never be a car
that knows exactly what it looks like because it does is always individual when it comes to
a new car, a 7 series or 6er VW Golf or Audi they are also nice but
somehow my eyes are always the same Chassis rims a bit of film on it and it looks
good and usually none of the stings really out and it's just an old car because a
lot of work had to be invested in it Out sticks is always somehow better so I like it
better because you can realize yourself much better i am matthias i come from kollnburg that is near viechtach / lower bavaria and today I would like to introduce you to
my Golf2, which has been rebuilt a little and you will see that now When you drive a car like that.
It's actually like a little journey back in time, you can't describe it if you're not used to it, but day in and day out with the new car or with the
company car wherever you are luxury comfort air conditioning power steering radio
all the extras and all that stuff that is nice to drive, of course, but when you drive in with
such a car that is something completely different that you still had to work because
you have to switch because you have to steer the the vibrations boom it is loud but it is nice
that is actually like vacation when you are with the car drives somewhere on a meeting that is
pure relaxation actually as it is said no radio installed in this car deliberately
you can just get the whole feeling of what the car makes you pick up the noise
and that's easy yes that is a piece of freedom of life for me
and when you get in and drive with it then you're just 20 again and
you feel like you're getting a driver's license get and now you do a round and it's
just good, you are happy when you is back home in the evening and because it is
quite loud inside but it's fun I have come to exactly this car
now, so I have to go a little further I had two
Golfs before, one of them is a bit known that is the taxi golf where
some probably still know that I have every year actually completely dismantled and
rebuilt and for the Wörthersee was always finished and then
at some point I got to the point where I was I said it had to be completely revised
but it was not feasible in one winter of course you ca
n't drive a season now , that's not possible so I have I thought I would build a low budget
project on the side, of course, another two can realize a few little
things that would not have been possible with the other and yes then i was actually looking for a two-
door golf two- door in good condition without a sunroof For this reason, I actually wanted
to install a folding roof and suicide doors that was back then so that we are now in
2006 2007 because it was a hype today I'm glad I didn't do it because it
wouldn't be so easy to set up back and then it actually escalated the
whole thing I found one in 2007 was completely original 1.3 liter engine no
equipment was dark blue It was in good condition,
I bought it for 700 euros and took the man home fetched and then it went straight to the
dismantling because no time was wasted I started
to clean it immediately, so I wanted a clean interior and engine compartment except for the equipment should be completely leather that I had
not seen before in the composition and that was actually the goal originally i
wanted to ride a 16V with Weber because i always wanted to drive Weber wanted to know old mechanical you can
simply adjust everything yourself but not all the rest of the control units and the
goods are broken that is how it actually started then there was a short break because my wife at the time got
pregnant then i remodeled the house in between, as is the case with many, has
a year and a half is also just a seasoned garage I also didn't feel like going into the garage anymore
because then I never saw him is finished and like nothing works and then I got
back to house finished everything I have said so now we attack again whether
then brought to the painter so good friend Oli Kraus from me
did it for me and from then on it was actually working again steep uphill the parts were all there
and from 2012 onwards for the first time at the Wörthersee that was the first set up there were still 16 inch
BBS on it and actually so that was it moment was ready for me then we or
I drove the first year then the second year that went on with other rims that
we then built because the 16 inches actually in my eyes a good friend
of mine were too small for the car, martin from Wheelworks then gave me the original one-piece 15 inch by GT special to be
dished and converted to three-piece 17 inch that
worked out better the whole year after were then rebuilt again in a different color
first they were gray then they were black dull the stars and then I noticed that the page looks pretty bare then I still have the
black stripes that we designed ourselves in the optics of the golf 1 gti with the writing 1900S and Weber that you can already see from the outside okay there is now no series engine installed and so it is based on
the 1970s 80s racing or that which now simply comes to the fore that
the color also fits the whole of the car Actually, that was the decision I wanted to make
on the one hand, but it should be original paint But it shouldn't be too bright that you
turn away from it too quickly every time I see it I
still like it and that's how it should be it is Inari silver at first I wanted to
make it white, but then so many are white cars come and say then he is
not so noticeable under the whole thing then I have that Inari silver taken from the individual that is simply
timeless color and I think it suits him very well outside the choice fell on various us
parts such as the front bumper taillights rear window is all very subtle
, original parts are but different and so it is The whole car is actually built,
everything has changed, but it is always based on very original optics if we
say now , when you look at the car from a distance of 20 meters and do you think so much has not been done and
when you get closer then you see that way has quite a few small, bigger changes
and that makes the whole thing interesting and that is even if you are two three times about it and so the
third time something really wasn't is original and so I wanted to have it for the
interior, which is also completely cleared that was the worst work on the whole car took
a long time as I said, i always wanted to <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"></font>
Achieve optics that were not there until then, but then there were many who were cloned on racing with full shell seats or
completely leather where the carpet is only made of leather is and I wanted to have the mixture simply
from sheet metal and full of leather and then just everything simply with indicator lever with steering wheel and
everything that is still installed I wanted to include so small original black accents I think
it turned out quite well, also with the one color that's the leather of the Mercedes because a good friend of mine has the interior again Christopher Schmelt actually made the very well-known The rear
cover was still important to me, actually because the car was somehow in the back Length deliberately draws the orange-red because it
simply goes back to the old look black-red if you think too much of the car you need
it orange orange red white that is exactly that the color actually matched perfectly that was
also clear from the beginning that it was for the original look everything has to fit and that
small things then add to the accents can replace just like the orange blinkers I
made white ones myself some time ago because there are none I built some
I put it on, I think it's a work of two or three weeks until everything was finished and
then I built right away because I said that with the car the character that
needs orange blinkers must not fit briefly back to the interior
the cage that was installed is intentionally matt black kept that it is
not directly visible from the distance but it is if it was a start in the interior
but it actually turned out to be quite a big cell which I made myself so built in its size
and various high struts flank protection everything is there if sport is moderate, actually,
racing is a good keyword, too to the engine compartment engine compartment is completely cleared
earlier the 1.3L 54 hp was in it, which of course was in this one car makes no sense originally I wanted to
install a 16v with Weber carburetor then it is But by a stupid coincidence you fell into your hands with this beautiful
motor, it is a 1.8 8V from Ziegler team racing real hill climb engine everything is done what you can do We then still have the carburetors that are
actually 40s on certain When I was 43, I also had a
good friend from Niedermeyer, which is an old one racing professional and he set the carburettors for me
too, he tuned the car runs perfectly and he said to me 40s are
too small there is no upstairs and 45 is drinking he from so we need 43 he has taken
everything now had rebuilt to 43 he just say that it runs like a 1 goes top yes, as I said,
to the engine mountain racing engine to just under 1.9 liters what I can't say exactly everything has been done,
but actually everything is done I think That will definitely have 170PS 190PS I was not on the test bench with it I don’t want to because I’m sorry for the car
when I hear that, but as I said, it’s it for I and I are completely fine again and there
goes well as I got through to the engine Coincidentally, I was offered a Golf two more or
less butcher project task that then has tried and rebuilt and actually didn't run
and said it had a Ziegler engine in it drove there at that time
it was stinking original two Golfs really come down the engine was also running i also
tried it out like a sack of nuts but always when who is so badly adjusted and still works so well
then you can actually do something and that's probably good too, and
fortunately I bought the car for 700 euros the Recaro equipment was still installed at
that time was not worth that much The equipment is in there today then everything in leather then
everything was so it actually made me cheaper lucky coincidence the engine has come
today i'm glad it's in because its Engine can be built somewhere at 10,000 euros
and so it was a bit cheaper so to say goodbye to my two children who come
far ahead of the car so that is actually all my pride they also wanted to be in the video
, they said and yes, I guess that at least he will follow in my footsteps
one day and the whole thing will continue if I may not be able to anymore or lose the desire
what does not believe now but he believes with it for nina we also found the solution
so then I hope you enjoyed the video if you liked it you are welcome to leave
a like in the comments and I would say we'll see you at various
meetings, I'll pick flowers inside I come too, come to me if
you have any questions I'm always happy or I'm happy me when I get to meet new people and
can keep up with well-groomed motor talk so it's good
