Re: *MK2 Storm Project Brown*

HI Josh

Glad to see more progress and hope it goes well.
And yes - you need to work on the pig smell.... :nerner:
Don't forget if you do find a problem with the drivers window wiring/motor etc - I have spares for this car still (somewhere...)

Re: Scirocco Storm MK2 resto - on a budget!

Just caught up with this - not been on forum for a while.
Sold on as I lost 'love' for it. Happy I used up the spares I had, but did think it needed someone with more patience than I to do a good job.
My interests have moved on from roccos now - very good to see more progress on it.

Had to extend one brakeline - and recreate a new brakeline mount on the OS rear sill - for some reason a PO had cut this off...! So new ...

Re: Scirocco Storm MK2 resto - on a budget!

Update - began cutting out the rear rot - I have to do this on a work day and not evenings/weekends due to local national park laws. So spent a few hours cutting and cleaning the rear arches: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j172/doctor924/storm%20rebuild/roccorear002.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com ...
