This is too good, I had to share...

Last weekend I towed home an '85 Scirocco with a blown transmission.  
(Yes, in addition to picking up an '81 Scirocco)  I could not pass up 
the deal as it came with two sets of rims (stock 13" and gti rims), 
Nuespeed springs, early Scirocco exhaust manifold with brand new cat 
back exhaust, short shift, and 3 gauge panel.  Not to mention the 
interior is nearly perfect (no rips in the driver's seat!) and the body 
appears to be straight - no major wrecks, all original paint.  (Some of 
the clearcoat is coming off)  All this for - are you ready?  $200.

So I check things out further.  The car sat for two months - I turned 
the key, and it started right up.  Hmmm...   more investigating...   put 
it in gear, let out the clutch, and of course not much happened.  
However, it did not appear to be the transmission, but merely the inner 
passenger side CV joint!  So...   off of the parts car came the 
passenger side drive axle, into the "new" car, and bingo - instantly 
driveable '85 Scirocco!  Woo hoo!!!

The car is not without it's flaws, but all of them so far appear to be 
pretty minor / easily fixable.  (I think the worst is the front struts 
are SHOT)  Needless to say, I'm one happy 'rocco nut right now though!

Daun
now with waaaay too many 'roccos for his own good!
