Inherited a white scala needs work

[Evors]

Hi

As title my grandads mk 2 has arrived as he can no longer drive.

I’ve never been a VW man so go easy

I’m looking to tidy it up so I can take him out in his pride and joy. Part resto/ full re spray to start

Car is in very good condition for its age but needs a few parts. I will make a full list shortly but to start

1 front bumper bar

2 door and window seals

Any help on where I can buy parts will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ps how do I add pics from my phone always comes up with an error

Welcome Evors, to upload pictures you now need a taptalk ap on your phone.

Bumpers you will need to look 2nd hand as new ones are hard find and expensive, can the old ones be filled and painted?

Door scrapers seals can be bought new here as well as other stuff.

There’s thread on here to different suppliers etc.

Also worth dropping blueshark a PM he is always a good source for parts and I’ve got loads of second hand bits kicking about so feel free to drop me one as well if needed

If you need door seals buy them new. They are expensive but buying second hand is a waste of time.

Locally VW Heritage: https://www.vwheritage.com/scirocco/bod ... ndow-seals

If you sign up as a paid Scirocco register member they will gladly give discount.

Or if you have friends in Germany that travel get them from VW Classic.

There used to be the Rubber vintage company in the States that were a bit cheaper but I don't know if they are still in business, but with postage and import charges VW Heritage probably works out the best.

Do not rule out leaks in the boot that can travel into the front of the car or water getting in from above due to a dodgy windscreen seal. Its not always the door seal letting in water if you have a leak.

I had trouble with water getting in at the top of the door (door had probably dropped due to worn hinges), I cured it with self-adhesive rubber mouldings from Car Builder Solutions.

Thanks for all responses it’s much appreciated

I’m definitely looking for new parts as much as possible

I’m looking to restore car to showroom condition is there anyone in Cumbria that could be recommended as I live in Penrith

Thanks again

Ps still struggling to upload some photos

[mark1gls]

I use my mobile phone to take pictures and use the tapatalk app to post the pictures from my phone.

Rubber seals etc are hard to find and expensive, you may need to import some items from USA and/or Germany a few members on here do sell some parts but a lot of stuff is no longer available.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ant at Rust Republic. Excellent thorough work and he is a true gentleman He will pick up cars.

I have some door seals for sale at the moment.

Used but great condition, price is €.50,00 each without shipping.

If you need any more parts take a look at my Facebook page "Scirocco Delen Eimers"

Or just ask me if you need anything else.

Are the brackets the same mk1 and 2? If so I know someone who has them, they are on here but dont use it as much.
