  1. One of my friends found this 1982 Volkswagen Scirocco (GL?) car in a house clearance or something and now has it. He’s trying to fix it up to make it usable (who knows how long that’ll take, lol).

    Anyways, I hadn’t seen it before today so I went with a few other friends to take a look, it’s pretty cool, haha Love how vintage it really is

    It’ll take a while to fix, but he’s slowly doing it bit by bit.

    I’m pretty sure the electrics work, but there are holes all over 😭

  4. I'm sure I've seen this #VW #Scirocco round this way - this wouldn't be a surprise as JayEmm is local - he is from North #Essex and the video has been made in #Halstead near the border with #Suffolk

    I considered getting one myself, but the 2,0 litre petrol isn't as common (I didn't want the diesel as I occasionally drive into ULEZ area), its hard to find one that hasn't been poorly modified or high mileage and there is far less storage/boot space than in the Golf (which it is based on) which is partly why this model was never that popular (and was deleted in 2018)

  5. Even if you aren't that into in #cars this is impressive work. I was expecting the #Chinese mechanics to just replace the oil pan and gaskets, not haul out the whole entire #EA888 #engine from the #VW #Scirocco and strip and #overhaul every component (like what used to happen more often in #garages here in 1970s/80s). They are using a mix of old skool skills, and modern computerised tools I have not even seen in many Western workshops..

  10. Interesting - for the ICE cars the #Scirocco was based on the #Golf, but with #VW group retaining their established names for the next generation of EV’s the Scirocco is going to be based on a shared platform with the #Porsche #Boxter, #Audi #TT and a #Cupra coupe concept, with the Golf on a different platform.

  13. Der #Volkswagen #Scirocco könnte schon bald sein Comeback als komplett elektrifiziertes Sportcoupé feiern. Das geht aus einem Medienbericht hervor: winfuture.de/news,141325.html?

  14. and it was sort of fun because I did not realize that Lamplighter Brewing is where Metric Systems used to be, where I and my then-wife used to take our (okay, her 😆) VW Scirocco for service. Was a great garage.

  15. @[email protected] you are a terrible human being and you should feel bad.

    I absolutely have a weakness for '80s hatchbacks like the and slightly later the impulse. Both cars I've had, and they were the best of the reborn affordable ? They're hard to classify.

    I absolutely do not need another project, but should you ever trip over an Impulse, and your feeling particularly evil, drop me a message.

  16. In case you don't already know me, here are two of my weird autos, a 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco GT and a 1959 Hillman Minx Series III.

    My everyday car is a much more sensible Jaguar estate car - but even that is quite unusual. I also have a high end race simulator, which is often out action with yet another mysterious IT issue 😄

    Look forward to Mastodonning with you all.

  17. #Italien, ACHTUNG: Ab Sonntag kommt über der #Adria stürmischer #Scirocco auf und dadurch werden laufend teils schwere #Gewitter von der Adria nach Venetien transportiert. Es besteht Unwettergefahr und in Venedig ist #Aquaalta zu befürchten! /CG kachelmannwetter.com/at/modell
