Scirocco Register

I'm new to this site and new to the VW lyfe. This is my first restore/project car so I'm going to need all of your help. I am now a proud owner of a 1984 Scirocco and I can't wait to get her looking amazing. Hello from America!

Hello all, and thanks to Will for sorting my forum registration problems. My name is Stu and I have a 1988 GTX, which I've owned since 1993. I took it off the road in early 2005, but this year, I want to make it driveable again. Here it is in the car park at work, circa 2002:



I'm afraid I've neglected it in the last few years, but I hope it hasn't suffered too much...

Welcome, Stu, always good to have another GTX owner on-board.

Hello 88GTX, any pictures of the car in it's current state?

No, I have no current photos. I think I'd be embarrassed to post any... it's at my parents' house, under a cover, but it was exposed to the elements for a few years. I'll see if I can get over there at the weekend.

Hi there, kinda new here. Just bought a Mk3 & collecting it at the weekend. 2011 Rising blue BM GT. Really excited aswell.

Welcome to Scirocco ownership Zeus, Liking a blue Mk3, post up some pictures when you have some.

Hi guys, I've been lurking about on here for the last couple of weeks and thought I should introduce myself. I'm Gav, I've owned a few old VW's but have never owned a Scirocco. I've recently bought a Mk2 GT2 that is lightly modified, plans are uncertain at the moment on if I should leave as is or go back to a more OEM look (G60 steels/amber indicators etc).

Here's a few pics




I hope to catch up with a few of you at some meets.

Welcome to SR fella :)

Cheers mate :)

Welcome GavB95, nice looking Scirocco you have.
I see from your list of cars you are also a Mk1 Golf cabriolet owner.

Thanks mark1gls, I recognise your user name from over on the Mk1 Golf owners forum. I used to be a regular on there but haven't been as active recently as I've got more involved with improving my T3/T25... and now tinkering with the Scirocco!

Hi all, ive just bought a scirocco gt 1988 to go with my mk1 cabby and no doubt will have many many questions about it. Such as what colour is it. Someone on the mk1 forum has just suggested rock grey?
It hadny had an mot in a few years but it almost flew through yesterday after being a bit grumpy about being driven.
Seems to be clearing up though as its used more.
Excuse the naff picture.

Colour maybe pewter gray? You will have to find the paint code to be sure
