Mk1 Scirocco- light Blue

[roccodingo]

do I need working Hatch " struts "....[ the pressurized stuts that support the Rear Hatch ]
to get it registered..?????

Swap one of them for a golf MK 1 unit, changing both makes it too hard to close...

The scirocco ones run at a lower pressure than the golf pieces.

Excellent progress mate!

Just go to ASV for a blueslip, I had bald tires, no rear seatbelts, no visors, missing trim and an untsable misfiring idle which backfired and they just passed my VR6. Just be sure to pay up-front for it though

I used to think that there were about 20......but............
am starting to think , mine may be the Only One.
- Thanks for compliment.
My Brother sees it for first time [ rebuilt ] tomorrow, I'm afraid he may Plead for it back.
[ emoticon for scared...I Love my Brother but not enough to give back the Rocco ].

I doubt it, it doesn't affect the safety of the vehicle at all, so i doubt you'd need it for RWC. There's nothing on my old RWC's that would indicate the need for this.

having said that, you'd kick yourself if it came down and bopped you on the head one day.

" You'd kick yourself " ... doubt I'd be able to kick myself - would probably be in hospital.
- rear wiper , Rubber spoiler add to the weight of this Hatch - I get a work-out each time I hold it open.

Thank you. Thought that the Rocco hatch was heavier & would need harder
strut.
Since they are lighter gassed - the rebuilt ones might be fine .

Thanks. You Cracked me up..... What or where is ASV , perhaps you better not post that on open forum - they may get shut down.

You eased my concerns about Blueys , maybe mine will pass

Thanks to my Daughter [ son reckons he's too sick to help ]
the Brakes are working , they still need a little more work - but at least they work.

-I will be getting struts for hatch - but that may take some time - want to get
it registered [ like yesterday ! ].

-demister , still trying to work out whats wrong.

-rear washer , not pumping [ wiper working ].

Thats about it, then cruise around " hopefully visit some enthusiasts ".
psst they may take better photos....

oh - it still needs a good buffing & waxing.

[Hydro]

and then.....
all the flairs / air dams / skirts go on and make it look " extra sporty " .

Waiting on some paperwork to get this Blue slip.

The place is going down the toilet because of how badly they do business anyway, so why not make the most of it while it lasts ?

Thanks for that, I asked around some of my mates - they told me of a place
that is " very fair " and is very close to where I live. So will try them.

Been a long time.......... I am still working to get this Registered. Ran out of Cash, but
now my Tax return is in, Hoping this Friday to get Blue slip.
I drove to Public weighbridge at Landsdowne.
Weighed in at 780 Kg
Of course I was hoping for lighter. Ha Ha.
Is certainly nice to drive. I just Love the sound of those Dells Purring. . !!
- I stuffed up with the Buffing , so more work is required on the paint.
Oh well, practice makes perfect.
-
Cant believe that this car weighs in less than the little Mazda 2 [ bubble car thing ].

[Jarred]

shame to hear about the paint! I hope you can fix it!

Good luck with blue slip!

[Hydro]

Am so Dissapointed.... I went for Blue slip on Friday, Turns out the car has no compliance plate...........
So now I am trying to figure out what I can do to get it registered.

Has any one else struggled with this problem ?
