Bought this back in April and have made pretty slow progress so far, thought I would start a thread to maybe inspire me to do some more, plus its payday tomorrow!
Here are some pictures to start off with:
How it was when I bought it.

New (temporary) wheels to replace the awkward 17’s

That is how it stands now, got a lot of plans for it just not the time and money. I will take some more pictures in the day when I can.

What a lovely find... nice car!.. jelous. Shame the previous owner ruined it with a bad ride height and wheel combo.. glad you're seeing to that, other than that, awsome.
-
Lovely looking car mate :cool:
I really like Scirocco's, think I need to get one at some point soon.
As said before, good work on getting the ride hgeight sorted :afro:
-
Love these, so retro cool :cool: Look like you've picked up a very tidy one :afro:
-
Nice car, that golf in the background is looking sweeeeet to. Can i enquire to whos awesomely ace car it is?

nah that golf looks sh*t! :lipsrsealed:
Oh.... its yours! :laugh:
-
Don't see many Scirocco's now, looks a good find.
-
thats nice!! :cool:
i was looking at roccos on ebay the other day, i want another one so bad!
the late scalas had the k-jet injection engine, whereas my late gt2 (J-reg) had the 90hp carb'd engine, although it flew on a k&n carb :cool:
i'd like a real early mk2 rocco, on widened 13" steelies
Don't see many Scirocco's now, looks a good find.
plus most are LOW milage, my old one had about 79k on the clock, and the interior was 100% mint. The engine was the smoothest ive driven. the paint was shocking though, no rust but a bad respray :sad:
-
Cheers for the comments guys!
It is pretty low mileage just about to hit 99000.
I really like Scirocco's, think I need to get one at some point soon.
I'd definitely say get one! They are so cheap and fairly little hassle, the only problems i've been having have happened because ive changed something.
I'll try get it cleaned and take a few more pics today.
-
looks loads better with the little wheels
-
I love that, the only thing is the debadged/changed grill, don't like it.
Very tidy Scirocco.
-
Stunning I have a soft spot for the Scala's I had a red one its was a go kart on big wheels :wink:

people used to tell me the GT2 was the one to have, but the scala had the 112bhp k-jet engine, 20 more than the GT2 :laugh:

Bought a few goodies today and got some fitted with the help of caistor_bmx.

Fairly successful day, fuel filler neck and exhaust to go on next, then either have the alloys refurbished or look for a set of 15’s
-
ha ha, that last pic is well good.
-
nice to see you geeting straight to it.... I miss the OEM front though. just curious, whos the body kit by?
-
Looks like a GTX body kit to me, oem :cool:
-
Yeah, its just the standard Scirocco kit.
Regarding the front end I think im gonna get one of the old passat gl grilles so I can keep it long and still have the badge, but that can wait for now!
-
Fitted the new wheel bearing which finally got rid of the annoying noise coming from the rear. Then it was time to have a go at making the MK1 golf fuel filler neck fit the Scirocco and give it a good clean. There’s also a picture of the guy next doors nice motor which he was kind enough to let me drive.
Old and new.

Couple of updates:
Finally got a new exhaust fitted, I was unsure of the look at first but now I quite like it. Sounds nice too!
Fitted my eyebrow spoiler, which I havent yet photographed.
Had my camber and tracking set up.
Oh and theres also a picture of my mums strange new car, which I think is actually quite cool.

(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab52/ash-lough/IMAG0198.jpg)
Just as I was about a mile from Loughborough one of my radiator pipes split, luckily I had some water which I poured in and managed to make it home and now the car is empty on the drive :angry:
At least that gives me something to do at the weekend.
(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab52/ash-lough/IMAG0200.jpg)
You cant see the split but it is the one with the rusty clip just above the bottom rad pipe.
I'll get so me more pics up soon.
Wing spray and new wheels next!
-
Looks good mate, really like the exhaust too, shame about the rad pipes mate, had problems with my rad pipe few weeks back nut sorted now.
Your mums car is one of those stupid nissan things isnt it, think it is called Cube or something like that. Ned to convince your mum that this is the way forward for it :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'm a fan of this, although it needs to lose the balloon tyres! I bet they offer more damping than the coilovers! Is that a nissan cube? Jeremy clarkson ripped them so bad on TG!
-
Haha, I'll send my old man that link see what he says.
Yeah its a cube, she isnt into cars but after seeing one in Japan has always wanted one. I hated the idea at first, but its not bad better than the almera she had before :sick:. Also its and import so has a few of the Jap extras, the spec for the amount it cost is pretty impressive.

The wheels are only temporary till I find a set I want/have the cash to get a set I want. Ideally I'd like a set of ATS cups (I think)
-
I've had a few import jap cars, the spec they come with is always impressive compared to UK cars. I can imagine its much better than an almera!
-
The Almera we got stupidly cheap at £1100 for an 03 plate with 9000 miles on the clock and so was a worthy buy just to use as a part ex car.
If the Rocco ever breaks I'll be coming to the meets in the Cube!
-
Just found this and thought maybe we should have a fund raiser at the next meet, would be cool as fu*k on your car :grin: :grin:

:grin: :grin:
I saw that earlier, a guy on the Scirocco forum is selling it.
You love your G60's dont you :laugh:
I would love that, we could have the following meet at his house and fit it there and then.

Sounds like a plan, then we could have a raffle as to who would be traveling home in your car :laugh: :laugh: Just thought it was a really good price for the lot really, thought it would be a lot more then £500 :shocked:
-
And a tombola for my old engine parts. :grin:
It does seem fairly cheap, but isn't there some sort of problem which is why he is selling?
-
Yeah there is but i think it wasnt anything to do with what is listed, think he said his engine blow up and this is why he is stripping these parts off it to sell.
I can tell your tempted :evil: :evil: Now all we need to do is convince the other bomber county dubs to join in :grin:
-
There was a problem with his engine originally so bolting extra power to it made it sh!t itself (in the exact same way mine did)
-
I see, I'd be a lot more tempted if my car was a weekend toy and not a daily cos then if it did go tits up it wouldn't be as bad.
Thats not to say I couldnt be tempted :laugh:
Get my student loan on the 17th :lipsrsealed:
-
You know it makes sence Rodders :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Theres a good lad, now just click the buy it now button :grin: :grin:
-
Go on the rocco forum and offer him £400, im sure a few of us could fit it at the best equipped garage that we have between us in a weekend
-
I like this car!! Never really liked rocco's but they seem to be growing on me lately!!
-
I may know of one for sale :grin:
-
I may know of one for sale :grin:
:laugh: :laugh: :lipsrsealed:
Yeah i bet he would let it go cheaper plus my mate has his own garage so he would let us use it at night and that way we would have all the equipment and wouldnt take us that long to do :grin:
We could have it as a team building meet :grin:
-
O dear. Haha
Love the rocco ash. G60 rocco now that's perfect. :)

A G60 Rocco would be nice, if I could I would love to!
-
Well it wouldn't actually be a G60, it would just be a rocco turbo. With it being K-jet, it would need the G60 or even digifant engine loom as K-jets don't have it. If you got that kit for £400 it would be a bargain, should be good for around 170bhp depending on how much boost you run I should think.
-
Rocco super, and as for the k-jet. Just crank up the fuel pressure a bit and slap on some bigger injectors (yeah old skool modding shanking yo mpg)
-
Im having enoung trouble getting this rad hose, £51 +vat from the dealers apparently :shocked:
Don't suppose anyone knows if this will fit on the Rocco?

Anyone ever told you that your both sh!t and gay at the same time?

Just a guy on the Scirocco forum had them from an old Scirocco he used to have, pretty lucky find really. Only £20 :grin:

New wheels are much better. Good work.

Mk 1 and 2 golfs and roccos always look great on these, good choice... got a bit of a crush on your car if I'm honest. :cool:
-
spot lights are for people who are stuck in the 80s :grin:
-
Good job guys jay's seal of approval :cool:
-
Clutch pulled through the bulkhead so had a repair plate put on...although its looking like that will be a temporary fix as the whole bulkhead moves when I dip the clutch so a big weld will be needed at some point. Although the clutch does feel like new now compared to before!
Also its idling too high which might be down to the ignition pulley timing being a notch out so I might give that a look at today - or adjust it through the dizzy??
No worries about all that though as I have my new grille :smiley:
