Vossies slightly modified mk2

[Vossie]

After the mk1 restoration I got a bit bored, and needed a new project,
this is the mk1 which is kept completely stock.


(I posted a build topic of this one on the "old" forum, I'm afraid that
topic sleeps with the fishes)

This time I wanted to do more modifications, so I went out and bought this old shed



And this is how it looked when I was done with it

[Vossie]

After I got rid of the remains of the shed, I got out again and bought this one




A '82 scirocco GT, 1.5-5 speed Engine was a bit tired, but the bodyword and interior were in
good condition.

[Vossie]

The 1,5


And than the engine fell out


Enginebay empty and cleaned

[Vossie]

As the old vento engine did some miles I took it apart and rebuild it


The pump was also checked

[Vossie]

I fitted different headlights, and a front bumper without the huge wash nozzels


The AAZ engine and gearbox fitted



Tried to fit a 16v radiator, but the bottom opening was right in front of the alternator

[Vossie]

Side to side


Head and pump fitted



The gearbox was rebuild to by another sciroccodriver

[Vossie]

Electrics were modified as well since I wanted to use the later type fusebox,
a golf mk2 cockpit wich rev counter and the original vento engine-wiring.

First some electric studies


An then got to soldering and rewiring


Ripped out the old wiring


And started putting the new, looks a bit messy, picture taken during testing

[Vossie]

Time to check the underside, needed a bit of extra space so the mk1
got some fresh air


Proper off-the-road hight


removed all the old black protective stuff



Car gathered a bit of dust (posting a topic takes less time than doing the actual work)

[Vossie]

Body did need some minor welding






And a few little other rust hole, rust cutted out and fresh metal welded in so it
should be a Ok for the years to come

[Vossie]

As I needed all the space under the hood i placed the fans in front of the radiator,
i got double fan so I can swith them in to stages




I found myself a passat VR6 radiator, it had the connections on the "battery" side

[Vossie]

To clear the top connection the battery had to be moved


Rewelded the supports


The fuelfilter and coolant reservoir brackets are also in place

[Vossie]

I started working on the exhaust, i used a golf mk2 16v rear damper and
a scirocco 16v middle damper. They have a nice diameter so the turbo
can breathe easily.

Both parts needed modification to fit the old type mounting points

First lining it all up



And welded up, also a custom downpipe

[Vossie]

Modified a golf mk2 airclaener to fit the scirocco



And installed.


I used a golf mk2 boot window-cleaning-fluid-reservoir (I assume there is a better word for it)
it had the ideal shape

[Vossie]

Bigger brakes were fitted, scirocco front 16v brakes and golf IV brakes at the back
Pain in the *** to bleed the system because the calipers ar up-side down, but once
all the air is out it brakes like a dream.




Engine ready for the first start

[Vossie]

I removed the ashtray putted in electric window and a oil temperature
gauge, volt-gauge will be replaced for a boost gauge.
