Man, This sounds like the ol 'My 1st Scirocco' story a lot of us have.


It's too bad a let my 1st one (A 4 speed 77 I bought FOR $749 with 
over heating, worn shocks, and an 8 track player) sit out in front of 
the house and get towed away, never to return- for lack of electrons.

S. T. Upid.

Since then I own an 81 which is on it's 3rd engine swap (1.7 to JH to 
RD) and has another half a car here in the basement awaiting 
installation.

I went from letting them get towed to finding lost souls and 
retrieving them to apathy in all things to a rebirth now as a Scirocco 
enthusiast reborn.

I feel for the guy and all but it could have been done on the cheap w/ 
some planning aforethought. The basic shortcoming of experience though 
is you have to go through it to get it.

New airdam, new H&R Cup kit, some new seals and suspension bushings, 
two 'race car' front seats, split rear S2 rear seat, rear disk brakes, 
three point lower frame brace, re engineered rear parcel shelf, 
external oil cooler- These are a few of my favorite things.
