This MK7 GTI was posted in a Facebook group for 3,000 dollars. The owner said it needed an engine and after talking to him, and looking over the car it was apparent it also needed cosmetic and maintenance work. Even though the car needed an engine, 3k is still a good price and we decided to take a chance on it.

    “They are aluminum bolts they will snap off” throws them and they immediately cling to the magnetic tray 😂😂

    That ending was so random but completely on-brand lmfao.
  • This is wild… the car was clearly abused and neglected, not to mention how disgusting it is… but a $130 part fixed the major problem

    The wheels are from a Mk6 Jetta Autobahn Edition. I have them on my Mk 5 R32. Greetings from Germany.

    Mr DAP has his butt handed to him on a regular bases with these crazy projects. This gentleman needs a win.

    I love that it feels like I am hanging out with friends in a shop with these videos. We get to see the jokes and fun being had rather than trying to make a serious video about cars. I don't even like German cars anymore and I still watch most of the videos you guys make. The only German car I have is an LS swapped 128i lol

    Dang why did that Husky carry so much pocket change?

    😂 Do you have ant traps on ShopDAP ? 😂
  • @darylmorse
    I don't even have a VW, but this channel is great entertainment.
  • @Nathan-mg7ho
    The ant genocide edit goes way harder than it should have 😂
  • @raoulrr
    I like how as soon as the VVT spool valve got replaced, all the concerns about having no coolant are instantly dismissed and the car is "fixed" 🤣 Clearly been run without coolant is perfectly fine and there could be nothing wrong with, say a blown head gasket or warped head

    i sold my stage 2 mk5 GTI w/ a blown motor for $3000 grand. with all the go fast bits on it and a new clutch it was worth that easily. dude and his kid put it back together and it's back ripping up the road. well bought!

    Would love to have more professionals like Paul as mechanics. Even here in Germany the mechanics working at VW have not this kind of knowledge. Love watching this kind of stuff! <3

    Ant Massacre sounds like a great Alien Ant Farm tribute act.

    Shoutout to Ric Flair keeping it real around town with companions

    finally a win!! This channel has become my favorite so damn funny, realistic, and relatable.
  • @camerone397
    Man I have a Mk7.5 GSW that i still consider to be a "new"(ish) car and it's so hard for me to wrap my head around another car of the same generation being this much of a basketcase already. Time flies!
