	That depends on what body style of the early scirocco you are looking for or like more.  The mid 70's 'rocco had the straight fenders which I think are really nice.  While the new style had the wrap around front signal lights.  Nice but not as neat.  My 1980 'rocco S has the latter of the two, but I still love the car.  
	Problem is finding an early one with minimal rust.  Even my 80 has the cancer and I am sorry to say it is terminal on this one.  (Firewall is dieing and so are the spots near the door hinges.)  My wiper arm fell through. 
	I suggest putting in a 1.8 motor because that transformer the car for me.  And what further transformed it was the springs/shocks.  The three things I listed are a must, IMHO.  The car should have come from the Factory like this!
