my 1st scirocco

[johnypud]

Just bought this, non runner been sat in a field for 2 yrs !!!

i think the moss has protected most of the paint work as under the moss its a good shell and chasis is top notch









Spent a hr on it tonight and eventually got it running even tho it wont idle so carb off for a clean tomorrow. also took a rag and litle compound to moss and under it paint was good.

Odd patch of rust on lower doors and front of bonnet, so as i own a bodyshop i will be giving it a full respray in same colour, aprat from that and 1 snapped spring it seems ok :)

shall keep thread updated and restore it to its former glory :)

and my other dub :) corrado

before





nearly finished

it was on the way to the scrap yard, wheels off on back of truck and i thought what a shame so offered guy £150 and he snaped my hand off.

Another project for me

[Risocco]

Woah! Thats one dirty car! Nice one for taking pitty on the old girl and rescuing it.

The underside OK after being in a field for a few years?

Hey, if you like cleaning cars that much I'll get mine extra dirty and you can give the £1,000,000 to me. I'm willing to cross the sea!

[Dr. Dub]

Welcome dude.

A little G3 and that will look a gazillion times better. Always good to see a Scirocco saved from the jaws of death.

[johnypud]

well washed it off today got most of the grime off.

give it a good looking at and its getting painted, same colour quick blow over :)

replaced snapped spring today £15 brand new :) and also bought 2m of vac pipe and sorted my idle problem, nearly all the vac pipes to carb were bummed and now runs sweet :)

[ianaudia4]

Welcome!

Never leave home without plenty of vacumn pipe in my toolbag!

Where is your bodyshop, you may get some work off here mate?

[bluestreak56]

weve all got to start somewhere - it will feel like such an accomplishment at the end im sure ;)

I'd have left the moss on. No one would mess with you if you drove a car that looked like that! Hard as nails. Although the police pulling you over to try and prove it's unroadworthy every 5 minutes would probably get tiresome.


And I think the internet equivelant of a handshake is in order for saving a Scirocco.
