I've been lurking around on here since the beginning of the year when i took the plunge into rocco ownership after owning 5 mk2 Golfs (still love the golf and no doubt will have another soon enough.
Anyway not even 24hr after owning this mk2 golf GTI, me being the 3rd owner and with only 47k on the clock all backed up.....
.... I got a call from a friend with a number (i thought he'd never produced) to call a guy about a scirocco he had for sale.
I gave the guy a call and within 30minutes i was at his door to check out this (supposedly mint) scirocco.
this is were its lived since 1997 after someone reversed into her in asda car park (hence the smashed indicator)
so after paying the guy i needed a bit of help getting it to its new home
and some overall pics
genuine and all backed up
some goodies from 1997
i dont have pics but believe me its even better underneath there
now with it not being started for a couple of years im gunna need to give it a full flush through and a nice fresh drink of fuel.
With it not moving from the spot since 1997 the tyres and all rubber belts need replacing as the tyres have split and perished and the belts have become brittle, all brake need changing too as you can probably imagine they wont be performing their best atm.
Still i wanted to see how the electrics were, so i put the battery on from the mk2 golf and hey presto, everything works prefectly, electric arial, sound system (seriously) sounds so crisp, clear and bassy, radio, fans, lights etc etc....
... the Pièce de résistance is when i give the key fob a try and this is what happened. turn your speakers up
....more to come
