I got my hands on a fairly solid Scirocco. (Mk1 79) A few of yea may have seen it last year at the Limerick show. I have being gathering parts for it for a year now and finally started a bit of a refurb to her. She is 30 years old now, so a bit of a birthday bash.
The car.

The bits I plan to replace. Basically all the road wheel bearings and bushings (they are all original) front shocks and a brake upgrade with a bit of a difference. Some rust removal, even though she looks rust free, there is no such thing on an 30 year old car.
Some bit and bobs. All got from GSF.

Front brake upgrade. (callipers from an 1998 Vectra and Mk2 Gti Vented discs). I have this set-up on a Mk1 golf I have and can easily out brake the car)
