Creds for all the work you've put in it! Really like that you keep it time specific.

I really hope o see his thing at sowo. Looks killer!

you and me both. everything is coming together smoothly now. i'm at school for another few weeks and it's killing me not being able to go home and start putting it together.

thanks. it's been tough finding all the period correct stuff. even stock parts are a pain to find. most everything scirocco-specific is NLA.

tires mounted.

finals over next wednesday.

home stretch.





nice stretch with the 165 (on an 8)



also got a pic of the wiring mess from my friend yesterday... so that's being sorted. i'd be so lost.

This is one of my favorite builds. I love anything boxy and 80's.

intake mani, early radiator, fan, and lines in.



next stop wiring. my friend is doing a great job with this right now. can't wait to get back home after finals this wednesday and join in on the fun :P

one week...

Shut your mouth you sexy thing.

Been at it since I've been home the past few days... Will update when I see fit. It's very close though.

But damn I need coils!

Good luck, hope to see it at Sowo.

holy shit. sowo was amazing and the shitaco made it there and back no problem.

started it up for the first time tuesday evening. seemed to work well so i started putting everything else together to have it road worthy. wednesday i had to drive it to my house at school an hour away. it was pouring rain and my wiper arms were stripped out so it was kind of sketchy. car did awesome though.

thursday morning i left to sowo. it did the 6 hour drive no problem. it drives so great and feels amazing being behind the wheel. every mile put a huge smile on my face.



very first drive. not ideal and really nerve racking.






got back home a few hours ago. i'm bummed sowo is over but i'm ecstatic that my first car could take me there

if anyone has seen any pics of it from the weekend i'd love to see them

[Queef|Chief]

glad you had fun at sowo! I was gonna try and go and very mad at myself that i didnt lol ;(

[harlerocco]

been driving it around a lot lately. almost nothing works in it except the drivetrain but i don't care right now. just really enjoying it. she's going back to my friends shop soon so he can finish up wiring clean up and basically tidying up the bay for me.

sowo roller:



last night at a local meet. decided to detail the bay a bit.

[harlerocco]

Tried to go on a trip to Ohio for a big scirocco gtg last weekend. car made it one mile. exactly one mile. fuel pump toggle (relay doesn't switch it on for some reason, tried multiple) blows the fuel pump fuse every time i flip the switch. not sure why. probably a short with all the mess of swap wiring under the dash. most of it was temporary anyways. time to relocate stuff and clean it all up.

here's an updated pic of the bay from last saturday about 5 minutes before it decided to stop working.



also picked these Enkei Aeronautics up to throw on for winters or temporary rollers but i think i'm just going to sell them bc i still need coils really bad. $500 shipped someone snag em! 14x6 4x100

Glad i stumbled onto this again, love the work put into it. Can't wait to see the widebody fitted
