First Car Project: Scirocco Content

[harlerocco]

That thing is supposed to hold the original tools to the spare tire so they don't rattle around.

If you need a clean t-red hatch I have a pretty nice one laying around.

I got my hood insulation off with a scraper, then rubbed the remaining glue in laquer thinner to get it off (but not too hard since I didn't want to rub through paint). If you want to replace it afterwards you can get nice replacement foam pieces from here:

This site also has some good scirocco specific stuff that they're reproducing.

Here's some inspiration. Best of luck, scirocco's are cool.

Step 1: Fix dem rusts

Step 2: Paint it

Step 3: Slam it:

Step 4: ???

Step 5: Drop panties:

Basically my plan haha. I've been thinking of going with a period correct build. For example:

plus a momo cobra wheel:

and rock out to some pink floyd tracks on the cassette deck...that is out of the car... due to a smoky wiring harness

But we'll see

UPDATE!

Alright, today was pretty eventful. Took it for my first drive (clutch took some getting used to) but before that, the ignition wire decided to vape . Scared the hell out of me. But thanks to the wiring harness, we eventually found that the P.O absolutely butchered the harness for some totally rad audio equipment . We did drive it around a bit, thankfully nothing caught on fire . Got it home, and proceeded to do some more cleaning.

PICS!

Wire in question:




Decided to take the center console out:


Found some cool stuff.

looked around a bit and saw these:




"Refurbished" some parts:


Someone decided to "fix" the grille (?) or I'm stupid because the hole was drilled, and a tiny bit of the screw is sticking out of the grille

Worst of the wheels:

Clearcoat, or what's left of it.

Best of the paint (shiny!)

Just another thing to replace

Some holes in the hatch area, not too bad

Anyone tell me what this thing is?

Gave her a wash...

Did some more stuff (ebrake and shift boot)

Some clear among the madness

Licensed and ready!

Stanceboard got more low car had been polished.

That's all for now!

Oh boy I love me a Scirocco. This is awesome and the wheel choice is perfect as well. I would personally prefer the Borbet A's because they are some of my dream wheels but those Oz's will ook just as good. Sub'd.

Alright folks, more of a update! Literally got the shikera (as my dad calls it ) back from the shop this afternoon. Drove it from SMI to home around 30 min away with no registration in car, no plates, and no seat belts . It runs well and good for a $1600/30 year old car . County brownie gave us a scare when he came directly behind us, and slowly passed us.
Us:

Anyway, here's some pics
Taking it home:

Did some cleaning...

(sponsor me pls)






Door jams looking fresh^

Pile O' Parts^

Worst of the interior^

Anyone know the best way to get this stuff off?^



I got the oem stereo, got to sort out the rat's nest of wiring in there

Engine as she sits^

End of the day... (pardon potato quality)
More to come

Alright, just in: shifter linkage bushings are garbage and the P.O put the shifter linkage on backwards, which explains the reason why it had a "slow takeoff." They'll be looking into it more tomorrow. I just hope I can contain my excitement when this thing is driveable!

Alright, my first thread I made had a horrendous spelling mistake in the title, so I'm making a new one. I'm a high school student and with the help of my father, purchased a pretty decent Scirocco 16v for $1600. Got It trailered to Saint Matthews Import's so they could work their magic . I love making a mess of things when I tear into them, so bear with me: this is gonna be a slooooow build.

Plans:
-Get it running reliably and make sure it's not gonna blow up.
-Bodywork
-Interior bits
-suspension
-Wheels (OZ Turbos, or some deep Borbet A's, maybe some 80's styling, who knows )

I have only one pic :
