Scirocco Scala. Opinions/ Experiences?

Tempted to give up on the valver I've got, it's just a money pit.
I want to start with something standard again instead of throwing all my money at someone else's neglect.

Seen a scala for a decent price.
Helios Blue
F reg.


Wondering what people thing about them who've owned them.
Personally I've always liked the styling and think they're underrated at the min.
(Think about how campervans were worth peanuts for a few years in the late 90's.)

I'm also wondering what can be transfered over from a mk2 golf as I have lots of spare suspension stuff and other bits.

Cheers

I voted yes but only if it's an injection. As for mk2 Golf stuff, nothing is really compatible.

The hubs, struts and wishbones all differ. Rear drums and wheel bearings are the same tho.

 

It's injection.

Guess one reason for wanting one was seeing a scirocco doing a 15.6 at pod on a standard 1.8 carb engine with 25bhp nos.
EDIT: second reason.
A quote from fight club.

That's kinda what's happened with my valver.

If you can afford the insurance they are the VW bargain bin car at the minute. Cheap as chips.

Scala alloys suck...

 

Need I say more?

 

I`ve been thinking about a `Rocco lately ... very tempting

 

As an ex rocco owner, the dark side (of mine at least) was the heavy
steering and the monkey-like left arm needed to reach the gearlever if
you've got long legs. Other than that it was just par for the course
for an old motor...



Nice driving position, quicker than you'd expect, dashboards prone to being obviously cardboard

 

As above, I have had a few scirocco and it has to be an injection, feel fast maybe the driving position. Still think my old GTX was one of the best handerling cars I have drove. Did anyone see the white one at E38 with the bbs and no rear wing, that looked sweet.

 

sciroccos rock!

mk2s do look a bit funny though. but they are great cars nevertheless and dirt cheap at the mo. saw one en ebay that a dealer had as part exchange he wanted a 200 "deposit" when the auction ended. it only went up to 100ish

 

sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, everyone will want one

put it on some le castelles or whatever they're called like my old GTX, and again

 

Its currently for sale too.

I like Roccos, would love a Mk1 with mental engine.
