No love for Corrados, at least not from me.
I had a 1990 G60, it had weird electric issues, including the automatic seat belts not moving back into position when you closed the door. It wasn't as raw, as simple as the Scirocco.
I had 4 Mk1 Sciroccos. First was a '75 that I bought as a parts car. It was already rusted out when I bought it around 1986-87. Second was a '79, I loved everything about that car except it was only a 4 speed and at 70 it ran around 3500rpm. That got old. Traded that for a Rabbit race car. Ran it a couple of years, traded it for a '78 Scirocco race car. Had great success with that, then I stupidly used the suspension pieces from that to build a '83 GTi race car. Sold that after one season, and tried to rebuild the '78 as a SCCA Production car. Sold it as an unfinished project and bought another '79 ITB Scirocco. I ran that a couple years and sold it to a couple of guys who wanted to ice race it. I saw it a few years after that, they had rolled it at a race and it was sitting behind one guys barn. Sad.
The '79 street car was almost the same color as the OP's car. I do miss that car. If I could swap in a 5 speed I'd drive that today, if I could find a rust free one.
