It has not been on the road since 1990 and is currently stripped down to a shell for resto work.

I have had it for about 6 years now.
Just missing chrome bumpers and the original tartan seats as it had later black leather storm seats fitted at some point in its life.
I just have too many projects and not enough time but i wont be getting rid of any of my collection.

Don't blame you for not getting rid of it, but try and find some time to complete it.
i had a red 74 many years ago, it is now buried in a field, keep thinking about going up there with a digger.
Thanks

well it goes like this ;

many years ago, my scirocco was a red ts 1974, which i ran for a year or so, and in that time, spent many an hour pushing it and exstinguishing its engine before it set fire to my girlfriends ( now my wife) shoes. After changing to a better paid job, the desire to aquire a newer mk2 gti overcame me and i succombed - selling on my 74 to some Golf dude who blew it up, i knew this because it was parked at the side of the road with oil running out of it. Later that year after purchasing a second 75 ts, (which needed many parts) i happened to be at my local scrap yard where i spotted old faithful 74 which had been partly stripped just lying there... Some time later i drove past as they were landfilling over the top. So i assume its still there buried!!!
Thanks
