After many, many hours graft the scirocco I bought a few weeks ago is now finished. Excuse the massive photo's as they are lifted from the for sale ad. This thing was a dog when I got it and some bit's were very hard to find, interior was removed completely and deep cleaned, loads of mechanical work and dear god the paintwork took ages. Looks pretty good now doesn't it :)

Looks stunning great job Jon :y :y :y
-
Wow looks good :o :o :o
-
Now that is nice :-*
A mate out in sausage land, late 80's had a 16 valve GTI in some sort of metallic blue that was gorgeous and went very well :D
-
Scrubbed up nice 8)
One question, did you replace the front bumper?
Reason for asking is, and forgive me if it's simply the way the photos are, but it looks like the car is Tornado Red, but the front bumper looks slightly orange in comparison suggesting that it's Mars Red :-\
-
Excellent job. :y :y :y
I wonder how long it will remain in Liverpool before some 'scallies' take a fancy to it. ::) ::) ;)

The car is flash red but due to fading the paint I bought is a slight shade too dark, I did the mirror caps but held off doing the bumper :-\ The new owner will get the paint and can decide for themselves if they want to do it. I insured it today and it went really well on it's first outing/shakedown to work :) put it on idiotbay on Sunday, 33 watchers on and a couple of promising calls already.

Fair enough :y always a conundrum whether to repaint or leave it to the new owner... especially when it scrubs up that well :y
Don't expect it will hang around ;)

Lovely. :y

My 1988 GT was one of my most favourite cars, i miss that car so much. The handling was truly awesome.

I had a 1989 Scala in White. Fond memories. My first fuel injected car, and crikey, it could shift (for the time). :y

How much are you gonna ask for, Jon?

How much are you gonna ask for, Jon?
It's up for 1495 but happy enough with 1300

Hold out for at least the lower figure, it's worth it. :y
