Check out this awesome Scirocco
 

I remember this car at the local autocrosses 15 years ago. One of my customers/ buddies, bought it for a song. This thing is clean, and beautiful. A turbo to boot.
The valve cover says callaway on it, and the turbo looks like it was done by the factory. I had no idea these even existed.
He changed the oil, and fuel filter, and now it wont start. I'll probably look at it this weekend. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1380131006.jpg

Love the brown. Love the seats. Love the basketweave gold wheels. So period correct.

you forgot for period correctness the Twin Trumpet air horns in the last photo.


what the heck do kids these days do besides LED's? heck we had fuzzy dice. :)

Don't forget the Bosch (or Hella) foglamps with covers, or any Neuspeed farkles too.

Awesome!!!! Not many that nice around still.

That is freaking awesome.

And a big a$$ York compressor to boot! Jump the fuel pump relay.

I lusted after a Wolfsburg Edition one of those decades ago!!!! I could not afford the insurance..... They were quick and fun to drive!

Good looking period car. I wish for the best on this and hope you update us soon.

My first thought. I could not hear the pumps running when I cranked it.

Those seats look exactly like Mustang seats from the 80s. They had them in that color too.

I have a set of those seats sitting at my shop for sale......I can take pics when I get back from vacation....if interested pm me...

Great driving car....I had an early one that came choked down with a carb set-up to meet emissions.....It really came alive when I put on an aftermarket carb.

Super cool little cars. I had a 79 for a summer until my brother crashed it.

I had one, a '77 was dark blue metallic..

I built the engine using bits from Drake Engineering, hot cam , hi-comp pistons (Arias I think), ported heads, adjustable cam sprocket,headers, Liestritz sport exhaust...the whole shebang....

BBS wheels, BFG Comp TAs, Konis, sway bars etc.etc. etc... Similar Recaros (mine were all black)

Alpine stereo w/ infinity drivers all around

I was a great car, fast as hell, and handled like it was on rails..

Unfortunately I balled up pretty well on a Drive to Killington....

The car posted in the pic is missing one of the most popular mods from that era...

A Kamei front spoiler.. ;)

Ha!!

I found someone who scanned one of the Drake catalogs....

Mine was a stage 3 build ... a whopping 129 HP

Drake Engineering

I had one, an S. One of my favorite and most reliable cars. Used to auto x it. These first gen cars are impossible to find. The 16v ones are a little more available.

Had one that looked just like that even the lovers but not the engine.

One of the best looking small cars ever made, from the great Giorgetto Giugiaro.

I had a brown one, at the end of its life cycle. Bought mine for 1500 which was a lot of dough for me in 83. I think it was a 76 model.

we should have a thread just on his cars...
