[Preen59]

Looking good, mate. Glad you're happy with everything so far. I'm yet to see this in the flesh!

[gldgti]

Looking great mate. Loving that interior!

[robbie]

Wow, I have been missing out a lot up of updates on your car. All I can say mate is keep up the good work!

God I love those wheels

Dom, all looks to be progressing well, the Scirocco 1 at Dursley scrapyard had already had the doors removed, along with the whole roof !!

Sorry mate, no trim at this point but will keep asking the rocco 1 peeps stateside.

Thanks Grant legend appreciate the help!!!

Keep tuned guys slightly smaller tires arriving this week as well as cam going in.

Thanks for the kind words guys

Nice. Brings back memories - my late uncle used to have a dark green one (new in the mid seventies)

Update Finally! Been flat out with no time to update the thread though I can assure you the mad rush to GAD is on!

Camshaft, adjustable cam gear and intermediate cam gear are in. ATM I've set it up at +1 and it's going good, a bit more bottom end power but still that roaring around 5k.

Brakes are away getting grooved, new pads are here, tie rod flip kit and ball joint extenders are on their way, aiming to get all these in a once hopefully this week coming or early next. Rewired earth on the coil and seems to have fixed the backfiring/ bogging down issue.

Spent Today doing a good tidy up.dropped the front 20mm and the rear 10mm I thinks it's pretty much as low as it can go now. Finished the parcel by glueing in the side trims and spraying the speaker. Fitted extinguisher. Adjusted the new rubber rocker cover gasket as it was still leaking after it got replaced. And I think that was it...

So got my hands pretty full leading up to GAD but if I can just squeeze it in I'll do the zorst too.

Oh and Preeny is sorting out my MSD and new coil,thanks dude!

Pics!



Probably my favourite angle of the rocco




Safety first!


Managed to find of these in my spare parts pile and replaced the broken one.




Sorry for the crappy photos going to crank the cannon out soon.

[GoLfMan]

looking great dude!

[HuH]

Looks so sweet. Can't wait to see it at GAD.

Those are Taz's old Starsharks, right? I actually tried them on my Mk1 before you must've bought them. They didn't clear my GTI brakes, but looks like they went to a better home anyway!

[dom123]

So brakes were fitted, spacers in the front, driving like a champ....some incompetent f***ing Female of a decides to ram her sh*tbox right into the side of the rocco t-boning me.

U cannot fathom the emotion that ran through me and then for the idiot to acts as if they had merely given me a love tap and not even apologise just kills me...

Too pissed off to even talk about it pics to come

[Wolfgang]

Oh fark! Devestating news.

Please tell us she's repairable.

[Jarred]

oh no mate. devastating.

[HuH]

Mate, so sad to hear. Can't believe the stuff out on the road sometimes. Morons EVERYWHERE.
