Ah yes, the world of abandoned projects. My street car was a 97 Passat TDI
that is now for sale b/c of front-end damage. I can't bring myself to trash
the car even with 424K miles on the odo BUT it's valueless to anyone other than
a fanatic. Then again, I've met a Mk2 fanatic whose mission it seems is to
"save and restore all Mk2 VW products". As much as I like the cars, there are
newer and better cars in the world...(blasphemy, yes).

I had a '76 Mk1 that I was going to restore, probably into some sort of
race/street vehicle. It had a 1.6 8v motor with a terminal rod knock. Would
have been cool to put a fully modded 2.0 TSI motor in it, with a 6 speed,
Quaife (sp?) etc.
It had a straight body with some surface rust, but that's about it. It sat in
my driveway almost 20 years, then finally got a free ride to the "Auto
Recycler".
~HollandYes - The Mk2 Slorocco, especially the 16v was essentially a very
overweight Rabbit. I had one and it was tonnes of fun - not as visceral as the
Mk1 by any stretch of the imagination but much more connected than anything VW
has produced since that time frame.

Matt,
I think you meant Mk 2 Scirocco, right?
'87 was Definitely Mk2...~HollandOn Dec 8, 2015 07:47, "'Matthew Yip' via

I have a hard time with "restored" - these cars just don't seem that old to me
BUT they're almost 30 years old at this point!!! (Damn, I'm OLD too).
I should probably keep this to myself BUT as a non-sunroof car, this
restoration car would make a great racecar candidate (that is if the Mk1
Slorocco weren't such an overweight pig).
