Turns out the unicorn one owner car was a mk2 so no good to me. The R32 motor is about 3 weeks away still for the Corrado, but I'm moving house soon so need both cars on the road. The mk1 now has the pre-facelift front end on. Guards are in primer and bootlid also. I added a bootlid from an 81 car ...

No updates on the mk1 as such.... The motor in the Corrado seized though so I bought an R32 motor ex Japan. That should be here mid-late July and has sucked up a lot of spare money for now. Just yesterday though I was told of a mk1 rocco for sale. ONE owner from new, full service history, always ...

Thanks man, I've always wanted a mk1 rocco to go with the rado, they work well together...

I've still got them and i'm keeping them because if I sell them, my other shell will become an incomplete car.

Sat some early wings & lights on the car along with some french spec hella lights. I think I like it, so will go ahead and convert the front end to pre-facelift.

Car arrived today. I'm pretty happy with the condition, not much rust and a really straight body. It has 91,000 miles on it so fairly low for a 1978 car. First thing I did was put some gas in it and go for a drive, not a bad for having been asleep for ten years. More pics in the next few days. First ...

Gidday lads, Have just bought myself a 78 facelift mk1 rocco. I already have a 76 project but when this thing came up I had to have it. I got it for $2k (around 1000 pounds) here in New Zealand. The plan is to tidy it up as much as possible, fit some nice bits that I have and use it for daily duties ...

Cheers GTXTRA! I'm based in Auckland. We have a small VW scene in NZ and only 1 mk1 rocco member in the club so figure this is where i'm going to learn! I recently found some NOS tail lights for the rocco here in Auckland, great score!!

Hi, i'm Tristan from New Zealand. I have a 1990 Corrado 16v daily driver (one of 13 NZ New cars) which i'm currently finishing a set of BBS RS003s for (16x7.5 and 16x8). I have also recently picked up a 1977 mk1 GLS (rarer than the corrado around here!). The Corrado is quite nice, once the rims are ...

This scirocco is inspiration for me! What motor are you putting in?

That's a seriously beautiful mk1 mate. Is that platinum silver metallic?
