theres pone down the road, its been there for years, c plate or g plate, cannae mine. In decent enoguh nick though.,
Anyway it was used up to a couple of years ago, then they got a punto and its just sat there ever since.
So do I consider getting it or just leave it? |

If you can get it free or for pennies, then yeah, course!
But you need somewhere to put it... always the problem  |

i dunno if I get it it and dependign on whats wrong with it a 1.8 T lump might fall into it.
Its not as popular for modding like the golf is.
i always liked th elook of them.
Although that 8v mk2 golf I had was utter crap, snapped the crank on the fecker which fell out onto the motorway |

I'm sure you're aware of the cost of swapping a 1.8T lump in tho!
I have to say i do like the mk2's but 90% of them drive like shit. Worth silly money now too |

get it! drop either the 20V T lump in or a nice little G60 unit from the abundance of pranged corrados! My mate is really into his VW's [got the G60 rallye i go on about] i can see the appeal and I think the scirroco is ultra retro cool!!! |

I mean about using the original instrument cluster etc for the immob if you want to use its own ECU, other than that its down the custom ECU road |

nah rog, tbh if the engine was ok then chances are it would be left as is.
1.8's iirc
Its in great nick, its sat there for a few years now, used to see it get driven until they got a punto, why i know not! |

Get the Rocco Chris, looks quite tidy and very retro, tho not sure it'd be worth much - seems like its only low mileage late spec Corrado's get get any decent money. |
