you have a special vehicle
and want to tell your story tell our channel make an
appointment with us and come by Hello, I'm Johannes and I have a problem and if we're honest not just one thing and
that's why we're here with me in the hall today and so today I don't just want to tell you
about a car, but more like that about my hall about what is in here
and why I have a problem with it we
filmed my one GTI three years ago, also here at Sourkrauts and At that time I still had a Golf 2 that I
wanted to build at the same time, that was actually it everything the Golf GTI was finished had a small
garage in our house and actually not much Space for screwing that has changed in the meantime that's
why we're here and that's one former car workshop I was lucky enough
to rent this hall here a year later, in 2020 and actually only planned
to build the Golf 2 here, the Golf 1 stayed at home in the garage and things got a bit out of hand because
at some point my little son asked you dad What is your favorite car and he knew
I like Porsches and I just said yes Porsche 911 and he then asked why did
n't we say you know the saying when the reason asks for the reason but
you can't bring that to children so I have just said Porsche is very expensive it's
not possible yes period and then he says what if if you sell everything you have, i.e.
Golf 1 Golf 2, I also have a very large one a pronounced passion
for collecting steering wheels would then work and i have a bit of that I thought about it and thought a bit of
luck could work it out and wrote at the same time someone would be very interested in the Golf
that hadn't really happened to me until then I always blocked it, but in that case
I was very receptive and then we have a wrote back and forth a bit and it turned
out that he's a really good guy who who where who who GTI in great hands we would have
written a little longer on the phone and is the Coincidence so he really wanted to came yes
bought the car to one to one for me really very much good price and for him at a fair price in
my eyes yes and then it was actually just still to sell the Golf 2 and then
the doors were open for the 911 and then it was my consideration that in principle that 's the
end of it, I have it or it could I then fulfill my childhood dream and
actually thought that the car would be over Hobby then you have what you always wanted
and then it calms down and that is thorough First of all I thought leave the 911 original that did
n't work so I actually did then after the one was sold the golf 2
was sold many car parts were sold the that I had simply accumulated over the years
was fortunately different from what I actually was actually thought I had money to buy an old
911, so I have a 1989 Porsche Bought the 911g model 3.2 liters with 231 hp and I
thought it would stay that way and that didn't work Ultimately, the Porsche is now actually
a bit lower again a third set of rims has a different
exhaust has a Clubsport roll bar dished momo suede steering wheel is
refined here and there and is a lot of fun yes and then the hall was here and somehow
there was space and I thought so well then could one
actually use the hall to get out of the hobby a bit, I don't know Funding that hobby a little talk
by maybe buying a car again nice and then sold again and then
I got a Golf 1 for very, very little money Rally car offered which was very very
badly worn so I got it cheap people have found out if
he kills it and sells the parts then you can finance your hobby with it and
that's exactly what I thought when I bought a Golf 2 in Leipzig on ebay classifieds that
stood for a three-digit amount on the Internet as a barn find again that I
could do the same thing with it so get a little bit get angry make things nice here and there a
little repair everything doesn't cost anything so much money then you could also
draw one or the other market to pay for the hobby so the result you can see here behind me
is Gambia red year of construction 84 85 so early model I got that, it really was
the ugly duckling par excellence the problem should i fall in love damn
fast and in cars and yes i have then so with the, so to speak, got started first brought
repaired cleaned made the dull paintwork In principle, the wild spray can repairs
from the previous owner also polish the whole car White spirit and thinner washed off
the wild attempts to repair it Previous owner made me a
mixture of stain and thinner and tried the engine compartment that was painted with underbody protection, the rear panel which was completely painted and underbody protection,
the bumpers were also painted black it was all nice to get back my
advantage I haven't had one for about 10 years real sense of smell I dragged off my cold
and I haven't smelled anything since then didn't even notice that it was a pretty
toxic mixture but then offers Yes, when the door is open, friends come
by, so they came in here after three hours was the gas heater running? I've been
playing around with dilution for three hours and haven't noticed how high I was actually and
my friends are in are straight out again Luckily there are no health problems
except that I collect more and yes Ultimately, the car is here now and I
wanted to sell it but somehow I couldn't folded the chassis was broken the original
so I bought a coilover kit with it a coilover suspension you then considered
which rims you could build on it and that I have to get a car because I already had a few
steering wheels, so I looked for a nice one Steering wheel could fit in here and more and more
I thought I could relate to the car not separate because that's how it is here
Golf 2c so almost a very very I say Sometimes without annoying extras, the equipment is in
fact nothing but a passenger mirror radio I was tempted
to make something nice out of the car, so I did Bought insert rims then bought second set of rims
the second set of rims is actual also been h-capable, everything is entered like that,
then the car should get an H license plate and then I thought that would be my daily
oldtimer in the summer, that is, my old love at 18 keep flaring up it's been 22 years
and i can still remember how It was kind of exciting to drive in the early Golf
2 that year, it wasn't anything special at the time today it is something very, very special for me is
a little journey through time, for example Have a cassette radio built in or built in
an original Gamma, so it already fits back then not at all in the car actually but gamma
was kinda my thing around old cassettes from to hear back then I just didn't throw away my cassettes I used to have now in such an old Coca-Cola
suitcase and I have my time travel for myself and somehow the box is now there as
it is and the missing little nuggets were somehow still a cool set of rims and
my friend Martin from Zwickau has them, many people know them probably under Eisenschuster who also
had one or the other with the lonely one here back then Flea put in his ear, he has the set of rims because
he built them himself, they are on right now Built on the car itself means they used to be
15 inch one-piece intra rims and he has them converted into a three-part 17 inch, a very good
ET, so the large outer beds are on it We don't need to say more
that the whole thing is not TÜV-compliant, that is so far clear are just rims for the meet
but the car really looks in my eyes now perfect as it is I move it
relatively rarely but it's a lot of fun for me so that was the first car, in between there
was a whole lot of decoration somehow added so it was originally a hall that stood empty for ten years
like a Lost Place here stood 7.5 Tons of forklifts that didn't drive, there were two cars
in there that were actually junk, the whole thing was not used here he grave storage room was
quite a lot of bulky waste that I just clean up had to rearrange had to throw away that was
a lot to do and at some point it happened space here and then you could kick and it
has become established that we are here on Tuesdays regularly meet such a classic men's evening
originally just so easy to screw Then two or three people came along and
we drank a beer, which means I then Fridge worried then there was just cold
beer then regularly made sure that the Fridge is also full but there was a
cash register that then has a few other people still dressed you have to but man
we can get around with it in the evening of course and then somehow it became more and more so I got
seats, a Multivan bench seat in multivan seat a couple of bucket seats to sit in
and what bothered me was i am a non smoker many of my friends smoke and of course you'll drop
my fag, it'll be a fag leaked out on my hall floor and that
annoyed me because I was later every day come in here, so I left like a bar and
b, uh, I had to pick up the butts of cigarette butts which disgust me I just found that disgusting
and because it worked two three you and I still set up an ashtray, but
I simply said hey, buy carpets now the carpet is probably not going to do that and
then I started in my in my screw Halle to throw in the Persian carpets that
I got on ebay classifieds gifts have or or for free so for free or just
for very little money to have brought him through my business trips somehow always
made it possible and so it became more and more comfortable then a living room lamp came along with another one at
deep in the forest with the meeting I had with me copied the one with the fairy lights up here and
then I found out I have a whole one A lot of small decorative stuff that is better
done in a display case, I now have four Showcase here and had in my garage
here and then from the car slaughter sawed off my front or sawed off my rear and
it all hangs on the wall, among other things all my Matchbox from before and we
had fun piling things up like that and now one could say that it has
definitely gotten out of hand But I find it very comfortable here and
I just like coming here and it's a place for me where I actually find peace where I
just like to be it's well known that I'm not the giant screwdriver so I'm always
dependent on my friends that's great isn't it something great that I have friends like that is sometimes
difficult for me because I just can't do what I want to do I would like to introduce myself but I don't necessarily have to
come here to do the work, I just like to be here a room a bit to clean up a bit
I can clean cars quite well and that one or the other screw is fine, but as soon as
it goes into detail, I'm dependent on buddies and yes, my goodness, they also like to
come here and that's why it's a good idea, yes then it could actually have started with the 24th
, if not in the spring of this year a mobile home would have walked us on the way, that
's another crazy story because that is the virgin to the child somehow
what will happen with my family in croatia or going on holiday in Italy this summer we
wanted to rent a mobile home or a bungalow and then it was noticed how expensive the
whole thing has become now due to Corona At the turn of the year
I kind of fell asleep on my face I wasn't willing to spend so much money to
go on vacation with four people and live in a bungalow and then actually not even
spent any money that was kind of the case for me simply too expensive for me and then I have
a story on Instagram with a friend saw that the T3 Westfalia
motorhome somehow got out of a hedge after 10 years and then an old love was
kindled in me: I was the very first family car 14 years ago I had a T3 Multivan,
which I then separated relatively quickly because it was kind of a pity
to go into the winter and since then it's bothered me but somehow more or less didn't let go
and then I first got this motorhome looked and then found out man that
's too much work for me because of two links Hands and too much detail I would have to rely on
to fix friends with it talked to my wife and said come on then
maybe let's just take a step financially look a little higher and we'll look
for a car that's basically already finished is where you only have to worry about the details
my wife was there with me from the cool thing Lot and yes, still looking for a while and lots
of phone calls, including here with Lars harder or with my buddy Tim
, who is already driving a T3, for example then leads to the mobile home what it is behind
you it is an 84er so similar to the two 84er T3 Westfalia with high roof has the
legendary 1.9er Wasserboxer with 78 hp and the Consumption of 870 hp swallows as much as if
it were somehow a huge turbo engine but he drives like a wandering dune so that consumes at
100 km/h on the highway consumes the slim 12 liters 13 14 15 upwards everything is open
but it has a cool patina it is not closed Death is restored here and then painted
because of course the neuralgic spots too There was rust but now it's rust-free and
I could let off steam with and that's the cool thing about it Approval from my wife, so my wife herself
has already said, man, that's such a car that makes me happy To be honest, I also care what you make of it
, she knows that I have a brand of car and she more or less tolerates that and
now she's benefiting from it because that's a car where we as a family also benefit from
it and that was very dangerous because with this approval I had the feeling of course
rims chassis steering wheel details fire free that means I had the first set of rims for
the car before the car even arrived I exchanged the second set of rims for a steering wheel
from my steering wheel collection and with it Then it started the rims that I
always wanted at the time, but not for them at the time money there was that was a rhzw1 the first set
was 8 was 8 x 17 et60 and then i have one second set bought eight and a half times 17 also et
60 which were both sets were more or less greeted by the curb, so something definitely needs to be
done and they weren't perfect so I
drove it with all eight rims to the iron cobbler in Zwickau who has them I then made the rim wells nice
and straight again, welded them on so there where just too much the alubiber has gnawed
ne and has, so to speak, out of bed again reasonable beds made which I then took back with me
and still have them in Nordhausen taken to Matthias from glanzberg east
and he finally got the beds polished and built the first set for the Bulli
in eight and eight and a half times 17 with the golden star, the second set was still
there, it is now fully polished because I I've seen several rhzw1 where the star
was fully polished and Matthias just had it he does it incredibly well and now I
have a second set of rims for the bus I can't say that out loud, I think
, but it's not live like that, then tires are on it and then I had the feeling that the bus was a
bit too high, so I went to ta-technik to Bought the chassis, we
installed it shortly before men's day, everything went incredibly well good so get the tires the chassis came
in time to install the chassis that was everything is a piece of cake together with a good
friend and then we have the rims on it plugged in and found shit with
the spacers that AHA automatically supplies it's on the wishbone at the front and at the back you can
actually send the kids into the shade they're too far in so I
made an instar post the night before Men's Day looking for spacers for rhzw1 preferably
stop 35 and 40 spacers per side and Cool enough, I'm really in the immediate circle of friends,
say Zwickau in the direction of Altenburg and so on I think so and then on Men's Day I
drove off like a maniac with my son Did you get spacers? I
screwed them onto the car and I've been incredibly happy ever since So the car is lower in my opinion, it should
n't be because of the underfloor gas tank for the Fridge and so on has just my hand's breadth
of space is great to drive in my eyes then he still needs a reasonable steering wheel that
I had, I installed a steering wheel otherwise still a nice stainless steel exhaust at the
back and is not what is done yet but I'm kind of into the old 80
's grills with headlight cleaning nozzles the one of the two has a bumper with
headlight washer jets so needed the T3 of course also in a grill with chrome rim
and headlight cleaning nozzles, that's all in it and the rest was a bit of decoration
and I can't think of much yes but decoration I'm not Tine Wittler, yes,
I would say that's how I started out got a little light chain and here
a few bowls made of seaweed I then
built a hanging shelf out of it and I collect it on every holiday little pieces of wood from the beach and so on
and then just build me a wind chime and such everything is still hanging in the bus here and there, a
little decoration has been added and a little bit Chichi and small details I
actually did all the service on the car myself, so I did I've already said I can't do that much, but I can do
a little bit, so change the oil with flushing oil filter air filter petrol filter petrol
hoses made new cooling water cooling system with airing at 17 liters of cooling water and everyone
who holds the water boxer knows how shit that is Luckily I did that myself and I'm
glad that everything goes so far and goes with me We're going to Croatia in three weeks
, two and a half weeks and I think then afterwards there will be three and a half to 4000 kilometers
more on the speedometer I pray and hope that everything is going well and that we can get around with the thing even
at 35 degrees without air conditioning then that would be the manifestation, so to speak,
of a longer relationship that I'm totally into I'm in the mood because I really fell in love with the
T3, yes that was the short form What else can you say about the hall ? It's
just difficult when you have a lot of space I travel a lot on business trips and of
course I can take things with me when it comes up here to the Porsche 924 also a sawed-off Porsche
924 front or here on the wall hangs a Golf 1 Sportline Cabrio which was so ailing and dead
that it actually only made sense Cut off the front and rear, that's what's hanging
on the wall, yes, various pictures and Video Pictures Nonsense so pictures and framed
pictures and newspaper articles and odds and ends and a lot of Porsche memorabilia I'm as far as
that is concerned actually as I would be now say a bit derogatory but a
little Porsche fanboy that's gut justifies that this is a brand that for me
is associated with the highest emotions I can don't do too much with all other sports car
brands Ferrari leaves me cold To be honest, Lamborghini too and all the
other boxes somehow but also Porsche has somehow been the measure of all things for me since my earliest childhood
and everything that Grandma Porsche says on it I collect that, and whether it's a Porsche
jacket or a Porsche T-shirt or an old one Porsche model cars or Porsche books or
any name cover or a Porsche pen we have Porsche Leipzig here with a
racetrack that even does it once a year Summer cinema I even took the popcorn packaging
with Porsche on it or one Porsche serviette you can laugh about
it, but for me it's actually just one great passion and of course it's
in the showcase and a lot of my friends laugh at it about it or if I'm somewhere
with Carsten coffee at the Porsche on the I'm a race track, my goods will somehow be
lying there with a Porsche motif on them yes then I'm the first to shout here and
when it comes to which Haribo Porsche gummy bears there is hello then of course I'll take it with me and
they're here in my showcase they won't eaten yes or at some point there were these
Porsche Design helmets from the 80s Motorcycle helmets
, which we also talked about in the fuel podcast, just existed sometime cheap yes somehow the four
helmets made it here meanwhile one big dream of mine fulfilled I finally had
the opportunity to see Walther Röhrl personally meet he was in Leipzig at Porsche, so
I took an old helmet with me and stood in front like a high school student like a little kid
, I normally don't say it, well Not because of my job, but I stood in front of
Walter and said A and I wasn't B able to kinda ask the smart question
i was just glad to see that have I find that fascinated the guy am super
grateful to have the autograph and yes that is my highlight in the showcase among
the whole collection I am very very grateful It's that I have this opportunity, how should I put it
, that I can live it out like this because I is aware that this is not a matter of course
one normally finds in Leipzig and in all other larger cities don't have such a hall at
an affordable price, maybe you can hear it's raining back in here again so
I have to take care of something like that right now because that's no longer the landlord's job,
but mine due to the low rental price Problem, so I have to put money into it more regularly
, but I live here totally mine Dream I wouldn't have thought until recently
that it was even possible to this extent that is possible with relatively
little financial effort rather with a lot of power and the support of many friends to set something
up here and that's why That's really sacred to me, so I'm aware that it
's something special, I'm totally happy and on the other hand I'm of course
also afraid that it could be over at some point That can definitely happen at some point, so I'm
just grateful for the time we had here and it actually manifested itself with Tuesday night
what is called men's night on women are just as allowed or desired
that you meet here regularly during the week with each other meets a beer on the
water simply on the snap and either just that others repair their cars here
or that I just tinker around with my boxes like I said, I always need boys , it
's just a cool time and I enjoy it as long as you can and I'm
aware that it's something very precious I can't say how this goes on here, I do
n't know, maybe there will be another one Car to maybe have to
go again at some point be curious in any case and what I don't want to forget
is a very big thank you to everyone who has helped me so far in the
last video it looks like I have actually forgot to thank my wife
so I want to do that now from the set and
say thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you my darling for having me let me do it in such a way that you let me
live it out in such a way that you endure my hobby To be fair, he has to say that she has
nothing to do with cars when we were there never met on a car together
and I believe it will be anytime soon not come but everyone should
have their freedom in that case and I get it Freedom ne to a reasonable extent family should
n't be a priority, especially if you're two I have children but I think it went
well if you know my Instagram profile because sometimes it looks different otherwise 90%
is just about cars is wrong ne social media lies in this case and thank you to all friends thank you
to everyone who has been with me over the past few years and have also helped me in the last decades
that I can live this hobby I like this hobby very much, I like to
surround myself with cars, I drive them Cars as much as I like to clean them
and the screw in the Mars that I have acquired also very happy to be in the cars myself, but I
am simply overwhelmed in many respects To be fair I have to say and I
depend on the help of my friends Nico's help on Paul 's help way
earlier on Ronne's help on Help from Stefan with the electrics and so on
to any help, no matter how helpful in the past few years, I can't list them all
, but please feel addressed yes, you will have
noticed that in the past, that's just not the case with me goes too far and water looks
you go and that's totally okay as long as you have good friends and I
'm very, very grateful to have you, thank you this is the end of the therapy session and now
you guys got a good look at my quirk I hope I'm not alone here
, at least that's how I feel when I'm in the one or other forums with people talking that there are definitely
other people who have the same nail in their head therefore somehow I feel in
good hands and not as a special case if we see each other live at some point, I
'm happy to chat about the passion for collecting who If you want steering wheels, we can write
and otherwise I can only say I hope so You guys enjoyed the video so a glimpse
of the madness here if you enjoy it leave a like there, subscribe to
the channel and write something in the Comments what he thinks about it, positive and
negative, I can deal with that and otherwise I just wish you a nice day I
hope you had fun watching take care
