ASMR Car Restoration! Full Restoration of a VW Golf MK1 from Total Disrepair to Looking New

Full Restoration of a VW Golf MK1 from Total Disrepair to Looking New! Asmr Car Restoration!

Welcome to Jake's Garage! In this video, I am performing a full ASMR Car Restoration on a classic VW Golf MK1, taking it from an abandoned, rusted project in total disrepair to a clean, like‑new hatchback right here in my home workshop.​

If you are looking for a classic car rebuild, detailed rust repair, or just satisfying DIY bodywork content, you are in the right place. I documented every major step of this restoration project to show you how I brought this tired Mk1 back to life. You’ll watch me clean the underbody, cut out rotten metal, weld in fresh panels, and spend hours on body filler and block sanding to straighten every line.​​

I also take you through my painting process—from epoxy primer to high‑build primer and final clear coat—and finish up with a full exterior polish and basic mechanical refresh. Suspension, brakes, engine bay cleaning, and interior detailing all come together to turn this abandoned Golf into a proper roadworthy classic.​

What I Cover in This Build:

The Teardown: Stripping the Golf MK1 down to a bare shell in my garage.​
Metalwork & Paint: My approach to rust removal, welding repair sections, and achieving a smooth paint finish at home.​​
Mechanical Restoration: Refreshing key components to make the car driveable again.​
Finishing Touches: Interior deep clean, trim restoration, and final assembly.​

The Viewing Experience:
I filmed this entirely in POV without any background music or narration. It’s just me, the tools, and the car, creating a relaxing ASMR atmosphere where you can hear every grind, sand, spray, and click of the wrench.​​
