bringing life back to my 85 Scirocco

[nickbukowy]

its been a while since ive posted on here, well being jobless and having no money to get supplies had me at a hault, but now that i got a job im startin to work on the car again

just ordered 4 new fuel injectors the ones in it right now are no good, one sprays a crappy stream and the other 3 dribble, get the new ones in tomorow, and probably go to pick n pull too and snag the brass inserts off the scirocco up there and replace the plastic ones that are in


cant wait to replace them, should run way better

[nickbukowy]

got the new fuel injectors monday, and finally got them in, and oh boy does she pur like a kitten now

maybe thinking about doing some body work again today or wait till tomorow

[nickbukowy]

well its been a while since ive had a chance on to work on my car, but the past 3 days ive been workin on the panel behind the drivers door, and after of hours of sanding and sandblasting fiber glass and bondo work im done

[scotttu]

I haven't seen a MK2 with Indiana Red - (A MK1 color) that would be pretty awesome I think.

Classic color on a car with classic lines.


Get that bondo fixed first tho!

[nickbukowy]

what do u mean fix the bodno? i already got it cleaned up and there is no bumps or uneven spots

the paint may be a little runny cause i used a spray paint primer to cover it to protect it

so what area are you talking about?

[ziggirocco]

good job! not bad at all

[euroheadnyc]

You have to fix that door gap. Keep up the good work

[nickbukowy]

well I need to realign the door, it is a little off

I hope this week i can get the rest of the body work done, really not much left to do

but tomorrow im going to order some new coil overs, saved up enough money to get them finally

then next week or the week after just depending on how things go ill have a chance to install them

[european_rocc]

Oh so what coil overs did you end up getting?

Lol my doors need realigning too but I'm too scared to mess with it!

Lol I bet you will get your car done before mine :p, should probably get my project thread posted

i got some racelands, just ordered them not even an hour ago

yeah door alignment stinks, takes a little time but its worth it, every time im driving and look in the mirror i see it just a little off and it drives me crazy!

cant wait to get my scirocco done, cause there are really just 3-4 sciroccos running around here, one is clean, mine and a friends are just rat rods right now, and another one is in ok shape and one color, been hoping to run into to him and bs with him

hows your rocco coming along euro

[nickbukowy]

just got my new coil overs in today

really amazed on how fast they got here

[european_rocc]

Dang my neighborhood is kind of the same, I see a couple here and there but now i know them all lol. only one of them uses vortex and he just traded his black euro spec 16v Scirocco that he just painted for a mk2 golf with an auto.

But yeah i am still doing prep work, almost done with sanding but now pretty soon i will have to start with the bondo work. I've never done it so that may take a while too lol. Of course my $80 replacement fender is the fender that needs work

Actually i am going to try and post that project thread up today. I think i am far enough to get one started.

[nickbukowy]

why would he trade a scirocco for a mk2 golf, , i would never do that, that is all you see around any more, with the jettas and gtis

couple tips with working with bondo, spread a thin layer on and try to shave as much off as you can

cant wait to see your thread up

[nickbukowy]

well today went up to pick n pull and picked up the hood from the scirocco there, its in way better shape then the one on right now, had a friend help me get it to my house cause it wouldnt fit in the back hahaha

going to clean it up and swap it out with the old one tomorrow

but when i came out of pick n pull, lo and behold there was another vw parked next to my rocco



i waited for a little bit to see if he would come out, and he did, we talked for a little bit

[nickbukowy]

well today i got my my new coil overs in, , and im very pleased with the results, took her for a test drive and she handles really nicely, little bit stiff, but im fine with that

will post pics tomorrow

[nickbukowy]

well here are the pictures of the rocco with the new coil overs on, loving being lower now

[euroheadnyc]

[nickbukowy]

well its been a while since i posted, work has slowed down, so i may have some more time to work on the car, but limited on some things

what i got planned:
get parts car
swap some parts
finish body work
make front air dam
redo the bumpers
rebuild a motor (gonna take some time)
primer
paint

take it for a cruise


probably goin to start back up on working on the car

[european_rocc]

I have yet to reach this phase lol. Completely halted work on mine for similar reasons. :/

i just cant wait till the day i can take a couple steps back and look at my scirocco and say shes finally done

[nickbukowy]

well working on the car the rest of the week is out of the picture, got work the next three days, i think im getting of early friday, i hope

[nickbukowy]

this may be funny to some of you but it sure as hell pissed me off

was hanging out at a friends place, i left the windows open to keep it cool. my friend desisded to open the door and have a breeze cool off the house, and gives me a holler. He told me there was a cat in my car, so i get up and walked out and the cat ran off, i looked in the car to see if he did anything, i smelt some thing a little bit funny, and i looked in the back, the little $h!t marked the top of my back seat, i cleaned it up as much as i can but it stinks still

they've only gotten my wheel /tire

[nickbukowy]

this is why i hate cats, i hope i can get that smell out

[nickbukowy]

well today i got some stuff accomplished

did some more body work, sanded and sprayed a layer of primer on the roof

but the biggest thing I'm happy with is, i cleaned up the rear tail light i had laying around the garage, had plans to switch it out with the one on it cause it has cracks and holes in it

after sanding with heavy grit sand paper




after wet sanding



after a couple coats of wax (first pic hasnt been polished yet)





now i need to get a rear left tail light so i can do the same thing to it and have a matching set

[nickbukowy]

well i am almost done with the body work on the driver side, i will finish it tomorow and post up some pictures of the work

[nickbukowy]

well, its been a while since i been on, started another new job (dam temp jobs), havnt been able to do much work on the car, but how ever i scored some good parts from pic n pull today, got a new intake system with a fuel rail for a cheap price

[nickbukowy]

well guys its been a while, but yesterday i installed a new muffler on the car

the old one was leaking and i got tired of how quiet it was, so i got a new flowmaster and got it in, its a little loud but not to bad

heres the link to

[nickbukowy]

well today after i got done at the gym i came out and noticed i had a flat........

it wasnt to bad i was still able to get it home, so i got it home and pumped the tire up, i found the cause, it was a screw that seems to be in there for a bit and leaking slowly, so i went to my grandpas and we fixed it in less then 10 minutes using his plug gun

going to invest in one, very handy little tool

[nickbukowy]

well its been a while since i last posted, but i have done some more body work, almost done with the body work, have some pictures but they are on my phone, because i lost the charger for my camera and so did my brother, just put in the new speakers i picked up on black friday (I Shouldn't Be Alive) and a new deck so now i can listen to my ipod, going to get back in it to finish it up and clean it up a little more, will try to post some pics tomorrow

Maybe this will give you some ideas for modifying stock bumpers

[nickbukowy]

well i was happy with what i did with the bumpers, but i have a new idea, im going to cut the re-bar in half and suck it in even more and make new fiberglass bumpers

because i saw this one scirocco on here that had really nice bumpers, they were sucked up and in (more than the euro bumpers) and was really sleek looking, ill try to find a picture of it

[nickbukowy]

well it took me a while but i found the pictures
