So I'm looking at a job today, some resto work on a beautiful old Craftsman house in my neighborhood in L.A. The owner is a Japanese-American guy who lives half the time in Japan, this was the house he grew up in here and he has inherited it from his parents who are gone from this earth. Very interesting guy, very interesting house.
Anywhoo, while wrapping-up the appointment and chatting in the driveway, i notice a small car under a cover in the carport. Of course I need to know what's under cover. Turns out it's a mint Mk I Scirocco with a turbo kit, it belongs to his younger brother who lives on east coast and it's been sitting for quite a while. I actually met the brother a few weeks ago when he was in town.
Does he want to sell it?
Possibly. He will ask. Now there is also a potential for barter, as well. I absolutely freaking love 1st generation Sciroccos. I've wanted one since they were new. This one supposedly has a really high quality aftermarket turbo installed that was very expensive at the time but he did not know the brand, etc...
Of course, I took photos for you guys. Always thinking about my Pelican bros.
