'88 Scirocco Scala

Post by jjmartin349571 » Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:52 pm

Well, just got back from getting this

Image

I made it 20 miles before it cut out - from my experience of 8v VW's on carbs I've most likely got rust in my fuel system, or possibly I'm having issues with carb icing :evil:

At any rate I'm home and the car is on it's way :) I've got 3 big boxes full of spares including 3 carbs, at least 1 of each ancillary and countless other relays and electrical bits, so no doubt I'll get her sorted soon.

But good points - it's on coilovers, running a Webber carb conversion, and it's silly fun to drive :D I'll be getting a GTi cam into it ASAP, so it should be real good fun then!

More photos tomorrow hopefully :)

That sounds painful. Maybe you should go see a doctor about that? (sorry, I'll get my coat!)



That is a very nice motor. I do like the old 'roccos, definitely smart looking motors :D

Cheers guys :)

Yeah this is definitely 100% totally and utterly the last car I buy until I sell one! But for £300 who was I to say no :P sitting inside of it doesn't feel like anything I've driven before, I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of it :) provided I iron out the running problems, I think I'm going to have a tough time deciding which to sell first out of this and the Golf :?

My BMW was a E reg, with 3.5 Litres of straight six, sideway goodness for £50 more

I did set fire to itself though, but was epic before it did

Nice car mate. How many cars have you got now? Is there a competition on LG for the most non running cars lol
