Why - what do you want to do with the car? There are
several minor advantages to the later Sciroccos
(electrical, bigger brake booster from '85 & up), so
if you're trying to avoid that type of upgrade, yeah
the later cars would be easier.

But, if you want, you can do the same mods to a 1975
Scirocco that you can do to a 1988 Scirocco.

Personally, I does not matter to me (my '82 is the
newest Scirocco I own). I am in the process of
dropping in an RD motor with knock sensor. How far do
you want to go with this?
