A friend is selling the below 'rocco. I have driven this car and
mechanically it is very good. it could use paint but the body is strait. it
is worth the money, IMHO.

> Stuff that's on the car:
> -- 81 Scirocco.  Lived most of its life in New Mexico, that is why there
is
> no structural rust and only trivial surficial rust.  This is also why the
> brake lines and gas tank look like new.  You've seen the paint...  It has
> never been in a major accident.  It appears to have been in a mild
accident
> (LR) that didn't even dent any internal panels.
> -- ~169500 miles
> -- 1.7 8v (Still makes good power, but needs to have a 1.8 from a GTI to
be
> competitive in FSP.  The valve seals leak oil, you can see it on startup.)
> 2H trans (close ratio, 3.94 final drive, rebuilt by Geoff in 11/99.
Redline
> MT-90 fluid)
> -- Autotech front "subframe" stressbar thing
> -- Geoff's power pulley
> -- new belts and cam tensioner recently
> -- new hoses 5/97 (still good, amazingly enough)
> -- 13 x 5" stock alloy street wheels with junk Sears tires...
> -- Bilstein sport struts (the stiff valved, shortened stroke version)
> -- Eibach street springs (makes the lower A-arms parallel to ground)
> -- polyurethane upper strut bearings
> -- polyurethane A-Arm bushings
> -- new ball joints 2/98
> -- Scirocco 16v rear sway bar with stock _hard_ rubber bushings
> -- H4/H1 headlights with ND MOWA relay/heavy-gauge front wiring harness
> -- A/C removed with correct early Rabbit brackets, pulleys, and water pump
> -- new alternator in 1/98 with ND MOWA wiring harness
> -- complete new brake system 10/99 with _new_ calipers, Ferodo pads, new
> vented rotors, stainless lines, Motul DOT-5.1 fluid.  I converted the rear
> brakes to manually adjust, like a Beetle.  This gives much better brake
> feel.  The only old parts are the hard lines, master cylinder, and prop
> valve.  All three are fine now.
> -- Scirocco 16v drivers seat
> -- New motor mounts at various dates.  It feels like the pass. side mount
is
> starting to get weak.  No awful rattles yet though.
>
> Parts that go with the car:
> -- new rear brake shoes
> -- Geoff's short shift kit
> -- Geoff's Delrin shifter bushing
> -- Scirocco 16v front sway bar, unmounted
> -- heater valve
> -- misc. seals and other bits like H4 bulbs and some bearings
> -- All the original parts that I took off, except the AC compressor and
> bracket.
> -- carpeted plywood rear hatch floor.  Replaces the rear seats.  Not legal
> for FSP, of course, but it gives a nice clean look and HUGE cargo capacity
> when not racing.

> Parts that I'd consider selling separately, or maybe at a discount as deal
> sweeteners:
> -- Replica Kamei spoiler from Potterman (see pic at parts4vws.com)
> -- 13x8 thin steel race wheels with Hoosiers
>
> What the car needs:
> -- a cv or front wheel bearing is making noise
> -- Transmission mainshaft seal, engine seal, and clutch plate.  I made the
> mistake of trying to clean out the inside of the engine with the solvent
> stuff that you can get at Pep Boys.  Don't ever do that!  It doesn't clean
> the engine and it kills the seals.  I haven't got motivated yet to yank
the
> trans, all the other seals are new.  The clutch is not slipping...yet.  It
> feels weird and grabby because of slight contamination.
> -- Maybe a new radiator.  It leaks sometimes, then works fine for 6
months.
> Weird.

> In a fit of anal recordkeeping, I made a spreadsheet with all parts and
> maintenance mileage last year.  I'll send it on if you'd like.  The
> records/receipts go with the car, of course.
