My $500 find.

[jetta-GT-]

nice find, let me know if you want to get rid of it

[NWarty]

Holy moly, that's nice! Can't believe it's straight as an arrow

[-RalleyTuned-]

i got the glass installed in my rabbit for 285...be carefull with quotes, mk1 rocco glass is totally not available anymore besides random single pieces in a warehouse...I know probably 100 people that got quotes (some up in the 800-1000 range!) and when it came time to order they always got a call that the glass was NLA

Last I was looking, finding something in a used car was the only option. Check the rocco forum though, iirc they got a group buy together to have some new glass made a couple years back

What year is that? Looks really straight, I've always wanted a early rocco.

[Swartzvw]

Nice pickup Dave! Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a few PMs out on people that are selling glass. I'd rather have OEM glass, but in the end, I might have to pay out the nose for it.

Also found out the Speedo is broken, and look at what I just happen to come across in my bin of rare gauge clusters...

[Capt. Obvious]

Cool find Dave! Have some fun with that bad boy.

Five bucks says it doesn't look like that when you eventually get it installed.

[pdxbora]

extremely nice find! congrats and good luck!

[Stealth 993]

Sounds like a great find!

If you need any help with polishing it up let me know.

[skidplate]

Wheels - yes. So the search is on for something I can restore and powder coat. Looking for something with some lip, probably 13" or 14" with some stretch. I'd love to find some Mk1 wided steelies.

My friend Jake (mk3vrgolfn) has a set. Shoot him a message

[DrinkBeerWSU]

Lower it



(actually leave it stock IMHO)

[G0to60]

Wow, I didn't realize you got it for so cheap. That's awesome! I have a friend over near Yakima that has two MK1 roccos so I'll see if he has a bead on any glass. I know they are hard to come by.

Great buy.

Jealous

Ha, Yes! Silver to match body color. Might powder coat the faces, we'll see.

Two steps a head of you... They should be coming up next week for me to inspect.

Naw, I am going to lower it, wheels and a few other OEM Euro things.

Please do. Let me know. I'm looking for the following:

Windshield (prefer OEM factory, but will take anything right about now)
OEM Gas cap, non locking
Factory sliding ragtop wind deflector (smoked plastic kind)
Rear hatch struts
OEM wheel arch trim (1 front, 1 back)
Factory working radio

Tonight I got a battery and the car fires up right away now.

Jump into the scirocco sub forum, lots of people horde parts for the Rocco's. Also try mk1 autohauz on eBay... that guy has a ton of early little parts. Also mike potterman @parts4vw.com is a great resource for some of the early goodies. 1000 congrats on your find and enjoy the mk1 Dave. I'm so glad I kept mine but thanks a million for the exposure when I did contemplate selling it.

[Brycejoseph]

Wow! I am super jelly! That looks like an awesome find. IIRC your windshield will...be troublesome. They are amazing hard to find, and expensive when you do. Most people just go and buy another Mk1 Scirocco if the windshield is good.

I await updates!

Ninja edit: I have two gas caps one is the "hinge door" lock without a lock in it, 6 point ( 5/10 cond) and the other is a flat 6 point with a lock that does not work 8/10 cond)

[G0to60]

I talked with my friend in Yakima (Darrell) and he's also looking for a windshield. He has a coupe and a ragtop. The ragtop needs a new windshield and he's had a hell of a time finding one. Parts are tough to find for those early Sciroccos.

Done and done. still can't find anything from ebay, CL or Mk1 Autohaus. I'll hit up Potterman tomorrow.

I found a company that has 15 in their warehouse back east. I'm going to buy them all. So if he's looking, tell him.

Welcome back to your MkI roots Dave

Welcome back to your MkI roots Dave

I got your rag top wind deflector still...

Speaking of which, I can't believe I scored this today.

What a find

[FourEyes]

Now do that to the rest of the paint.

[MEISTER]

Found a company that only sells commercial glass. They have 10 - Mk1 Scirocco windshields. Just bought them all.

So if anyone knows anyone that needs one....

[Traffic Jam Zombie]

I know...I keep forgetting I need to p/u from ya!! I thought you were gonna come downtown & have lunch?

With my crazy schedule, I am finding a hard time to make time. Still playing catch up with all the work from my hand and arm surgery.

[brad131a4]

Your welcome Dave. I'd rather see it being used than sitting in my rafters collecting dust. I'll give you a heads up when I get the Vanagon going if you want to take a little ride.

Hell yes! I'm down for a ride in that thing.

[Sticky Tape]

Dave, you have my number. I have all the answers pertaining to your new ride. I also have lots of stuff... Nice car! good to see another ragtop rocco!

I do have a few questions, I'll text you.

[Amsterdam087]

Congrats Dave. Looks like fun.

[MEISTER]

Congrats Dave. Looks like fun.

Thanks Tyler! Yes, It's been fun, but also challenging. Finding parts for a Mk2 Scirocco is easy compared to a Mk1. But if you know me, I'm always up for any kind of a challenge.

The p/o was james right? I used to work with him and you got a hell of a steal. He got quoted around the same for the windshield that's why it was never fixed. I know he did tons of maintenance on it while he owned it.

Yea, James' old car. Your not working at Barrier any more? Or is he not working there?

The problem with the windshield is they don't make them any more. I sourced a company back east and they had 10 in a warehouse some where. Last ones in the US. I bought all 10. The were not as expensive as he thought, he told me something like $600.
