This is the type of bullying yall do to me. Of all the cars on the planet I get asked about for videos, the B5S4 is top of the list.

Going to be a little while before content. But I can tell you, I need to fix the heat(if you know you know) and the windows won’t work.

Thanks for bullying, I mean encouraging me 🤣🤣🤣. FWIW it was $5k 🫣🫣🫣

4 years after taking the RUSTED rear of the black R32 out, its time to go back together. Not fully as I have some choices to make on brakes, and suspension, but the bones are there. You've been asking WTF happen to this car, welp Sunday, youre getting the first assembly video on the TURBO R32!

I thought we’d get there, but sadly parts delays… so no Lupo video today. It should be Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

I’m in the shop putting some last minute work in. She should be driving by tomorrow.

The Lupo is so close!!

Today on ‪@humblemechanic2‬ we have the very much unfiltered VR5 rebuild. I always keep main channel PG, but if you work in a shop, you know PG is held for customers. Things get spicy back in the shop. Thats more the vibe this cut gets.

LMK what you think. it's kind of a test bed to see how you guys like the less edited less filtered videos.

I woke up to this insane milestone this morning. 1 million subscribers on @YouTube. It's absolutely wild to me. I never really set out for that. It kind of all started when I wanted to share that the dealer I worked for wasn't the "stealership" that people were used to. It was a place where we all really cared about customers’ cars. A place that always tried to do the right thing. Sure, mistakes were made, things got damaged and broken, but in the end, it was made right.

Now I’m sitting here reflecting on the fact that over 1 million people said, "Hey, I want to see more videos like this." I’m still not sure I can fully wrap my head around it. I still remember the first email I got saying "THANK YOU" from someone who used my widow maker video to change their tire. Funny enough, I shot that with my iPhone 3GS. LOL.
If you know me, you know I don’t get real high on milestones. I’m thankful for them and all, but getting too high on things usually means getting low on things too. Being a flat rate tech taught me you gotta ride the middle. LOL. Celebrate small things like a bolt extraction. HA! Now that’s a high to ride.

But right now, right this minute, I’m pretty hyped. I’m insanely thankful. I really can't put the words together for how much I appreciate each of you. If this is the first post you have ever seen, or you have been around since the MK1 VR6 swap days, THANK YOU! Man, that just doesn't even feel like enough. Just know that I really do appreciate each of you. I hope that this channel has helped you out in some way. I also hope you can pass that help on to someone else.
Sincerely, THANK YOU
Charles

We have been waiting a long time for this.

You’re looking at a vr6 with a big boy turbo. This will be going in a 2004 r32 6sp manual AWD car.

I started taking this car apart in late 2020, then she spent a lot of time at the body shop. Some good, and some bad, luckily the boys at everything euro saved the day.

This is so awesome! As part of the deal with my Golf R(RsR?) going to ‪@semashow‬ was a poster collab with ‪@originalKONI‬ If you’re going to Sema come by the Koni booth Tuesday am and you can score an 11x17 poster limited to 150!

But if you can’t make Sema, we have an 18x24 for sale over at 8380! The 18x24 is so amazing. And if you really want to level up, there is an option for me to sign it. Which I’m incredibly honored by.(sorry no Paul install option. He’s a slacker) there are only 100 of the 18x24 so if you want one, I’d jump on it. Well actually 99 because I’m getting one haha.

This is the first time I’ve done something like this. If it goes well, for sure I’ll do more rad stuff like this 🤞🤞🤞

This blows my mind.
I’ve been driving this r32 daily for a few months. And let’s be honest by most every measure it’s just a dusty mk4. Now don’t get that twisted I love this car. I really do. But at the end it’s a 230k 20 year old VW.

But even this one that has no clear coat, dirty, kinda gross wheels, missing badges and all, gets more attention than any car I’ve ever owned. More random 👍 thumbs up, more waves, more “Hell yes” from random people in random not vw cars. None of that ever happened in my blue r32, my mk8, my yellow R, the purple R I had for a minute none of them.

It’s so wild to me in the coolest way possible. The r32 is a pretty iconic car far outside of the VW community. And I think that’s pretty damn cool. 😎

Yall love some tool box building. This time we are doing $3500, a cart, a box, and a bunch of tools.

The fun part is, this whole set is going to a tech school student!

Doing this is always super fun
