Video: The MkIV Project Golf - How to build a budget dirt club racer

[Redlina]

With 39 years of experience racing VW Golfs on the dirt & many state titles in my trophy cabinet (ok - on a shelf in the garage), I show step by step many of my secrets for setting up a hatchback for racing between the trees.

It's a MK4 not a MK5

[Redlina]

Yeah - typo there - woops!

Great video can't wait for the follow-up.
Fixed the title for you too [emoji6]

Keen to see how this goes. Weight plays such a big part in the smaller engine mk4s.
not sure how I feel about the washers behind the stub axle, but guess its not on the road.

Very much enjoyed your video mate and great to have you on this forum.
Would like to see a thread on your Mk1.

Good to see some budget DIY action on here!

PS that civic looks like fun!

Good stuff mate thank you for putting the video together and for sharing it here! Need more of this and less purely aesthetic builds! As Waterboy said too - would be very keen to see more of your other cars as well.

I can only reiterate what everyone else has said!

Mate! I know you from the magna forums where you did the magna buggy!

You do some great vids and really know your stuff when it comes to fabrication. I've enjoyed watching you build your buggy and house!!

Great to see you here

[Redlina]

Thanks buddy. Glad to have something VW to post. Despite being a Honda nut these days I actually have worked on more Golfs before changing brands. The love of such German design excellence runs deep in my veins.

Started with the car build then moved on to the house build - amazing stuff! Great videos - really informative.

Glad you're enjoying the ride.
