Re: Silver anniversary for my silver Scala!

So 3 bits done so far - firstly I had a look at the mirror and really the black surround was the problem, save for a small crack in the colour-coded part of the mirror. I sourced an old mirror from a red GT and removed the surround. I had to do this carefully so I didn't damage it, but once the ...

Because of this, I have decided to make it my new years resolution to make it as nice as possible, as it needs some TLC :) below are the things I would like to sort by then - I will update this ...

Re: Show us your Mk2 - picture thread.......

I bought this scala in may, but we have both been through turbulent times in this past (almost) year. I bought this as a fun weekend car but it has become a daily driver. It has run well since a few incidents, one involving the engine bay being on fire when the ignition coil ruptured. :?

In the ...

Re: Eefy's White Scala

Hey just wanted to say thanks for this post, I swapped my motor over today and found this guide really useful. The motor I bought off eBay had different power connectors so I had to do some faffing but otherwise pretty straightforward. Thanks! After buying a new blower motor of ebay a few weeks ago ...

Re: whats its worth?

For a start you would be well advised to put the original wheels back on and sell the BBS replicas seperate. Indeed people do like modded cars but I can say that they prefer to buy as original as possible as a starting point.

People will also buy on condition and provenance as well as model ...

Re: Scirocco GT Restomod

So while I am waiting on some parts and my friend's expertise, the 256mm brakes upgrade is still on hold. I have been doing some more bits and bobs to keep me busy. I bought a charger for my battery as it was completely dead. After 3 hours on a 'fast charge' it could power the lights but no more ...

Re: Scirocco GT Restoration

A sunny day today so I did some little bits and pieces. I wanted to do more but time just flew. I replaced the passenger side wing with a newer model one, so the wings both have indicators on them now. I had a few problems.

Jeez the body kit is hard to get off. I had to get the old kit off the old ...

Re: Spotted

Spotted the unmistakable low stance of a rocco in my rear view mirror today - turns out it was GTXTRA's A16 GTX looking very tidy. I last spotted him going onto the A3 southbound at New Malden in cool shades :)
