The Free Car...

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

All-in-all, not a bad looking MkII.  Throw in the purchase price (!), and you have a winner.

The first several pictures bring to mind a joke:  How can you tell a jen-you-wine Scirocco-phile?   His yard is in need of TLC...desperately.
(you should see mine....)

 Sixteen valves, three belts, four plugs, and sixteen guides arrived on Wed from Autohauz.  Unfortunately, at about the same moment, the front U-joint gave up the ghost on the temporarily-DD Chevy van. 
  This morning, the van has new U-joints (can anyone tell me why one U-joint would cost $13.09, and the other, nearly identical U-joint,  would be priced at $26.76???!!!), and the VW head, valves, and guides will be on their way to the machine shop in about 2 hours.

  Ok, Well as you may have read last night, a guy that is local to me had
  posted to the vortex that he needed to get rid of his scirocco as he was
  getting married and as of Saturday the car was going to the bone yard. Al
  called him and set everything up for the car to be picked up and saved. 

   

  As the car was several blocks from my house, I set up a time this morning to
  go over, fill the tires and throw a battery in and hopefully get it home.
  Only two of the tires needed air and once the battery (borrowed from my 87
  2.0L 16V) was in place, she cranked right over.  The car will need some work
  if it is to be restored. There is some minor rust here and there as well as
  some body work. Mechanically, car is fair to average. The car runs, idles
  and accelerates well. The bearings are going to need to be redone as well as
  the brakes are going to need to be worked over. Overall it isn't in too bad
  of shape. 

   

  Here are some pics as it was after the trip from his neighborhood to mine.
  I'll have the kids scrub the car tomorrow and take some more pics to post
  then.

  woks.  This is the first time I have posted pics from Al's machine.

   

  AL, Come and get her.  She needs a good home.
