Scirocco #2

[verboten1]

I?m going to give it a scirocco another go, I had one about 10 years ago but didn?t have the money to do anything with it when it broke.
I picked this Scirocco up in December, during the wonderful storm that dropped 12? of snow on us.
I was driving my newly acquired (sketchy) Dakota pulling an even worse dolly.






After getting it home it was in sad shape




But it looked ok in its new environment



after the the snow melted and it warmed up a little I was able to wash off the salt and inventory the parts.

I have been on the road since early January, so I haven?t done much work, but I have been picking up some parts.i had planned to have this at Motorstadt, but I haven’t even finished my garage yet It’s amazing how 10 years changed the availability of any parts for these cars. I had euro bumpers for the last one and paid only $150 for them, now it?s more like $600!

i got some euro lights, I pieced these together from several German guys off the vortex



and found some wheels that would have been perfect, if not for the 5x150 pcd



i also picked up a Zender grill, but don?t seem to have a picture at the moment.

The euro bumpers are so good tho

That thing's got good bones - it's hard to find a MKII Scirocco in that good of shape these days. Interested to see what you do with it!

I agree, I will be getting them, eventually.

It?s pretty clean, the rear arches are the worst of the rust, I?m hoping I can curtail that for now.


The engine runs well, I just need to replace the finger at the throw out bearing and it should be drivable.

Looks like a ton of fun. Taking it to Motorstadt?

I had planned to, but I have been home only 7 days in the last 3 months. I need to put the clutch finger back in maybe it can make it

Just picked up some vogtland springs and some wheels! I'll be making progress soon, I hope!

Maybe I missed it, but is this a 16v?

it's finally on the garage and I'm working on it! Woo! Suspension and clutch finger fix coming up!

Too bad I had one housing that didn't want to work with the inserts and it got stuck in the housing, it wouldn't come out, it wouldn't go in. I managed to destroy a brand new Koni and the old housing. Time to get another one!

Today it's sad 'rocco beer day. Missing a strut housing due to the fiasco the other day. Picking up some new(sed) ones on Thursday. I got the clutch finger fixed and was happy when the clutch worked.

In other good news, I got the kamei grille out, and I have Euro bumpers en route!

I have gotten the car on the ground with the new suspension, I got the clutch finger fixed, BUT, the trans will only go into 3rd and neutral. This makes it kind of hard to drive! [emoji51]

Today I came across a "tuned" engine and trans from a race car. They only pulled it to put in a VR6. It has some pretty nice goodies on it, so I'm going to believe their Dyno results of 100 HP! I'm just not sure if I want to drop this whole thing in, or if I just want to install the trans for now.
