Scirocco Sillyness with a midmounted motor

[static1800]

That thing will be a weapon!

Ive always had the idea somewhere in the back of my mind to build a mid engined Mk1 with an R32 golf engine in it. It's safely stored in the way to hard basket

[lyle-act]

wow dude, thats gonna be bloody nuts!!

My brother just got his Mk1 painted and is getting his suspension soon. Cant wait till he gets a 1.8T in his! :twisted:

Mid mounted 24 v VR6 turbo in 76 scirocco, keep your eyes open in the future. Parts are here, time is coming.

Why mid mount it, couldnt you mount one in the front and one in the back and have a twin engined badboy

Can't see why you would chop up a good Rocco .But then again the floor has probably rusted out like a lot that age.
Where in the hell are you going to use it.It would be hard to register ? but whatever turns you on.eh.
That orange Mk1 Golf in Pommieland is unreal when you look at it.Great video of it if you've seen it.TassieGTi has got it somewhere if you haven't seen it.

I bought this scirroco in the early 80's and have had it off the road for over 10 years trying to restore it. It was an English import and the only rust in it is in the rear bumper mount holes. This project will be engineered and registered. No point having a car that you can't drive on the road. If you build these projects properly there is no reason they can't be engineered. We have a good engineer here in Canberra who we use all the time and will help us out.
As I said all I need is the time as the are a few more jobs to finnish of my own and also customers cars come first.

Sounds good in theory. Another case of topic hijacking though Loon!! Perhaps we can start a new topic for aprr32's projects as you did with Golfwise's Jetta.

Sorry, sometimes I get carried away-so much to do, so little time.
