The body and shocks/suspension were in rough shape when I got the car, the engine and transmission were fine...this project was time consuming, but fun! All the work was done by me...except for the suspension work...and this is the first time I did anything like this. Thanks to all the "how to" videos on YouTube, couldn't have done it without!

  • did you fiberglass the side moldings flat?

  • @xxkoadyxx yes I did...I used the Bondo fiberglass resin because it will not crack like normal Bondo

  • We have a 1998 VW Golf and love it, it has 158,000 miles and runs perfect.

    It needs new shocks in the rear, were they hard to replace? Nice job.

  • @dankbobby technically they are not hard to replace at all, but I did not do it myself because the springs need compressed and I do not have the tools. I would take it to a mechanic to do it because it's not very expensive ($80-100 for rear only)...or you could take them off yourself and then just take them to a mechanic to put the springs back on ($30-40)

  • I just bought a 98 Golf. How did you get the gauge cluster to light up like that? Mine appears to just have a few lights pointing at the gauges from above.

  • that's great good job most people would not have the balls to start something like this

  • That the project was fun is the most important in my opinion!

  • @dankbobby no. i can replace both shocks in the back in like a half hour,
