<<Hello boys and girls,
I was just sitting here at work bored, looking at all of the scirocco 
sites. Now what I want to know is this: are the majority of the cars on 
this list perfect like the ones on the sites or are they your average 
fixer upper?  My car is pretty clean compared to the other Sciroccos 
around here, but that is not really a good comparison. Cause they are 
pretty thrashed, or completely stock. It has taken me  a while just to 
get mine back into stock condition. Now I am gonna fix it up. Let the 
mods begin!!!
That is all.

My car (1982) is still a piece of shit to spite every effort to make it
otherwise. 
I've done everything I could and the car is really fun but no-one takes any
notice to it. And passengers are usually just kinda pised that it's so loud. I
guess thats ok cuz everyone wants to drive when I go somewhere. I supose I
shouldn't complain, the car is exactly how I made it. As soon as I track all
the rattles down things should be much better.
Here are my mods. . . .the ones I can remember.
Body:16v kit
euro bumpers, lights, clear signals
debadged grill
filled hatch, r-wiper jet, fender antanna hole
fuba antanna
tinted tail lights
rear & front Hella fogs
Ocean blue paint inside ond out (i did it myself and got some orange peel so
dont be too impressed)

Interior:
Momo: wheel, shift knob, race seats & harnesses
striped completely (no adhesive left)
no heater of AC
power mirrors, windows, locks (added thes cuz you cant reach the passenger
door while in the race seats)
Battery in back (polished aluminum box)
12in Kicker bandpass w/200w amp
Neuspeed 3 guage pannel
racing power cut switch in dash
A3 Golf interior light with sunroof switch that opperates the door locks, has
a time delay that makes the light stay on for a few seconds after the dor is
closed (when you see this mod on Alex Tings car just remember you saw it here
first! =-)

Whoa I did'nt realize I'd done so much!!! Hmm interesting. I feel kinda like a
