My Scirocco Project

[Golf Loon]

is your rocco the one that was from the northern beachers

No it was from QLD a year ago and Bondi 3 years ago.

There is a black one floating around the Northern Beaches somewhere and a crazy yellow one in the western suburbs.

I actually hassled the people in the RTA so much today that they created a new entry for Scirocco on their systems, so it is no longer VW Unknown.
This makes it easier for the next person trying to register one. She also said that any that have been previously registered wrong can be changed I know of at least one registered as a TS Passat@!

Don't you just love bureaucracy and red tape.

Nice Rocco Golf Loon

[DubSteve]

More importantly LOOK AT THE STRETCH ON THOSE TYRES, I WANT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Matt that will look superb at the Nats

PS. Still laughing at the old bloke trying to recognise your car and walked into a lamp post!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Mate, it was really sad to see the Rocco sitting in your driveway, looking sad...
Great to see it it up and going again

Love the shape - a classic.
More mumbo from a 20VT would just about make it irresistable
(ok, a new paint job wouldn't hurt )

Grant I totally want to. Was up late last night reading Kirstens rocco page.

I have an AEB engine, with the predrilled holes for the side mount and will probably just use a TDI 020 gearbox. Should be strong enough with good ratios. Only issue is whether I`m able to close the bonnet.

Will probably try it after the Nats.

Yeah, bonnet might be close.

Am in reasonably regular contact with kirsten if your chasing wiring info, but that will likely be ok if your using the factory ecu. Have some parts here of my AWW that are available if need be, Carl has an eye on a few items i think also.

Would be better to go O2J and cables...or at the least O2A ...specially if you want to perk up the engine...

but the body is looking well for its age, dam, should have bought this car instead of the cabrio..

LOL.. just do it justice mate

[roccodingo]

Bloody hell I like that shape, the Scirocco and Corrado. One day perhaps!!!
Can't wait to see it in the flesh later this month.

Once you have one of these its a freaking addiction !!! dont ask ..

Another picture with less of a gloss. Car needs paint, a faster engine and a new interior. Then it will be Phat.

I am still in UK in August if you want me to sniff out an interior swap ..

I still love the shape of it though, and the reaction of passers by trying to work out what it is.

any rocco is pure art...and yeah, i get " is that a Fiat , or Alfa all the time..

( specially on the de badged Mk 1 )

Thanks Grant. I`m thinking a Corrado interior woul look pretty sweet in there if you find anything.

[Golf Loon]

Couldnt resist some new wheels. Was never fully sold on the Borbets

Out with the old and in with the new

[Golf Loon]

Was so enthused by the new bbs look, thanks Oli, that I hit up the interior.



Mk2 GTI perches from Al cheers mate, modified by me. Front looks horn, compared to the saggy original GT interior. Still have to finish modifying the rear bench and then will be 100%

A bit of steering wheel action helped too

I have gathered all the engine bits for the conversion, building begins in earnest next week.

nice
cheers brenton

Well Mr G. Loon you have just added with those BBS's a new level of fantasizing over 'rocco.

I know I`ve been out to the shed twice for a perv already tonight

16" 205/5016s with hubcentric wheels. They sit in more than the borbets and so there is no rubbing, even with the bigger tyre. I`m well happy with em
