'75 ( yes really!) resto/rebuild

[zyclamvw]

Hi,
No progress to speak of recently, it's been more a case of getting everything together, such that you can see where everything go's, then know what to do to make it all work properly!!
So now it's all about clearance!
Rear floor needs a notch for the arm, front needs ( loads!!) chassis leg reformed, steering and driveshaft tunnels raised and last but not least strut tops raised and strengthened. Not much if you say it quickly
And all done to look like its always been that way, as Hayden ( panelkraft ) does like things to look tidy!!
Also need to consider where to route the exhaust......... as there's no room for it underneath on full drop

You can get track rod flip kits to save notching for the rack arms. So you can keep it factory

My soild top mounts will be for sale soon if your interested?.. They give just over an inch raise

If not im interested in what you do top mount wise. there is zero room to play with

Cheers winston ( when I just typed your name the predictive text on my iPhone was saying Einstein! Honest I'm not shitting you!)
The flip kit sounds cool, though I have to admit the steering, along with all the running gear isn't going to be factory! Well.... Not mk1 scirocco factory!!
I say no more...... for now anyway!
And the solid mounts I'd deffo be interested in, would they work with the air struts?

[Winston]

It normally comes up as windy on my mates iphones

I hope your doing what I think your doing

Have you got a picture of the tops of the bags/struts?

Hey Matt
It was cool to chat ( though felt sorry for your other half!, I guess like my girlfriend she's used to
It by now!)
It's what shows are all about really, hanging out chatting to like minded folks!
Hey winston, sorry I missed you mate
Are either of you going to players?

Oh.... and BTW the rocco has all the bits in place now, and hopefully I'll have news and some pics of how it's coming together!

Cheers mate, she's used to it, her third trip to edition!
Should be at Players (in the Audi again)...

Stop the teasing, pics or it didn't happen!

[Winston]

I should be at players.

The wings you have fitted have a rubber trim round the indicator. Ive never seen this before in any pictures but the wings ive bought for my car need that trim. are they factory or after market wings do you know?

Once again it wasn't the year of the mk1 scirocco... maybe next year guys?

+1 on updated project pics

Cool, we should deffo meet up for a 'scirocco's in absense' gtg!

The rubber would have been on the car before resto, and the wings were VW , must admit I'd not noticed before, so can only assume its an early thing, can't imagine finding them will be easy though!! And even if heritage has them ( like all the other bits I'd be interested in!) if you don't know the etka number .........
Pics!!....... I'd like to see it myself!

[Winston]

I will keep my eyes peeled for you

I was sold mine as genuine. so maybe they are after all, winner!!! are yours stamped up? Sadly I want the ones without the rubber trim DOH!!

Thanks for the info

It would seem appropriate at this time to update this thread with some pictures?
