Re: Original Scirocco GTX 16v Rebuild
So everyone…..I’ve had many a drink so another update…. As mentioned before I was happy. At this point in my life the only cars I had owned were many mk1/2 golf and roccos.

Hi All, It's been many a many years from posting on here! I've still got the same rocco and will update my very old project thread ;-).

Good respray place?
Hi gang. Its time for me to finally get the rooco full windows out resprayed. Does anyone know of any rocco friendly companies? I'm looking for quality, not cheap.

Re: 10k for a mk2 anyone?
Photobucket has indeed ruined the internet!
Most of the pics can be found below. It shows the parts and work put in. It's not in order and I did give up at the end with the write up on here.
Let me know what you think.
