Scirocco Register

Just bought this, non runner been sat in a field for 2 yrs !!!

i think the moss has protected most of the paint work as under the moss its a good shell and chasis is top notch









Spent a hr on it tonight and eventually got it running even tho it wont idle so carb off for a clean tomorrow. also took a rag and litle compound to moss and under it paint was good.

Odd patch of rust on lower doors and front of bonnet, so as i own a bodyshop i will be giving it a full respray in same colour, aprat from that and 1 snapped spring it seems ok :)

shall keep thread updated and restore it to its former glory :)

and my other dub :) corrado

before





nearly finished

Welcome.

Glad to see one being saved

it was on the way to the scrap yard, wheels off on back of truck and i thought what a shame so offered guy £150 and he snaped my hand off.

Another project for me

Woah! Thats one dirty car! Nice one for taking pitty on the old girl and rescuing it.

The underside OK after being in a field for a few years?

Hey, if you like cleaning cars that much I'll get mine extra dirty and you can give the £1,000,000 to me. I'm willing to cross the sea!

Welcome dude.

A little G3 and that will look a gazillion times better. Always good to see a Scirocco saved from the jaws of death.

well washed it off today got most of the grime off.

give it a good looking at and its getting painted, same colour quick blow over :)

replaced snapped spring today £15 brand new :) and also bought 2m of vac pipe and sorted my idle problem, nearly all the vac pipes to carb were bummed and now runs sweet :)

Welcome!

Never leave home without plenty of vacumn pipe in my toolbag!

Where is your bodyshop, you may get some work off here mate?

weve all got to start somewhere - it will feel like such an accomplishment at the end im sure ;)

I'd have left the moss on. No one would mess with you if you drove a car that looked like that! Hard as nails. Although the police pulling you over to try and prove it's unroadworthy every 5 minutes would probably get tiresome.


And I think the internet equivelant of a handshake is in order for saving a Scirocco.
