Down and out MKII Scirocco

[P78]

nankang ftl

what's happening on the interior since u are scrapping everything?

[Shepherd]

The difference between the diameter of a 185/45 and a195/45 only is 1cm.
I would be limited to Nankang and the wheel wouldn't look as wide from behind. That's why I'll go for 195/45s.
Plus, there's a chance that I can run the 195/45s all legal and TÜV approved on my wheels.

185/45s are my backup plan though.

"viel zu viel Gummi drauf"

Started the bodywork...
While the Rocco is still sitting on its axles, I started rolling and pulling the arches.

All virgin so far. Not rolled, no rust, no marks.


After I used a Screwdriver, cutterknife, pliers, hammer and a club hammer, the arch is all flat and 3-4mm pulled outwards.


After I was satisfied with the arch, I swapped the plastic camber shims with custom made aluminium ones. Friend made them custom for our cars. They are extra thin and deliver -4,1° of camber. Sadly he cut them a bit too small, so they fit not perfectly yet. Second and right sized set should be come in next week.
Already fits spot on though.
Still can fit a finger between tire and the arch, only the lip of the wheel pokes out. Still can go 1 or 2cm lower.






As we still have a parted out MKIII Golf sitting in our garage, waiting to be picked up be the scrapyard, I figured I would strip the interior of the Scirocco and stuff the Golf with some more trash.
All but a few, small parts are going to the trash.




...at Karmann in 89, someone wrote the name of the paint on the chassis.... but no, it's not gonna stay Brilliantschwarz at all.

@ P78
I love the camber, but **** how it pokes atm, I love it when just the lip pokes out from under the wheel arch. Just as it is at the front right now and I'm aiming for that look at the rear as well, works best with the classy BBS wheels, imho

@ William
Not decided on the suspension yet, I'm thinking about shortened KW V3s, but I might go for shortened H&R coilovers.
Or maybe even an airride if I'm feeling really fancy. as long as I get the look I want while driving, I'm okay with anything really, lol.
