Brandon,

Are those some Chuck Taylor's your sport'in there?

Mark, oh yeah. They were even leather if you can imagine that. Had a pair of red ones too. Probably had The Smiths or The Cure cassette in the tape deck. Good times.

That promises to be a fun and rewarding project!

Awesome!....my very 1st car in high school (1987 @ 16yrs.) was a black on red 1980 Scirocco "S"... I LOVED it.

Formula Vee's are powered by the old air cooled 1200cc VW boxer engines.

GTI's are powered by water cooled inline fours.

ahhhh yea. My first car was a black/black '78 that I put a VW motorsport 5-speed in (came with a 4), and had this little shop (Techtonics, I think it was called) build me a 1.8L engine for it - massive, wasn't it :-), I never could afford the Callaway turbo or Oettenger four-valve heads but I did have a number of mods; Neuspeed throttle body, Koni adjustibles, Neuspeed cam, aux oil cooler with Earl's ss lines and fittings, Hella H1/H4 lighting, silver BBS RG rims with Goodyear Gatorbacks, Gillette exhaust, Recaros..... it was such an awesome car (until it was stolen, stripped, and returned to me as a raped shell of a former beauty)


I sure miss that car.

Thanks guys, this thing is like a little toy, everything in the engine compartment is super easy to get to, and dead simple. Now all I gotta do is "move" my '79 911, and my Jag, so I can start working on this bad boy

You're right. Then maybe the cars were Formula Super Vee. Either way, the water-cooled motors were incredibly reliable.

LOL Wow awesome

WOW! That's a nice Scirocco. Looks to be complete. I've been driving my old Corrado lately while the 993 is asleep.

Corrado!....there's a name I haven't thought of in a long time! Wow, how long was that around....a couple of years?

allill

it was like a 4 year run, the first two years were G60 supercharged.

Shake

mmmmm Corrado, always loved those cars, is yours a G60?

Oh man, that pretty much describes my college years. My first brand new car was a black '88 16V Scirrocco w/black leather. Purchased shortly after college. Loved that thing.
