I'm glad you like it! I think the car addresses the lackluster performance of the early Sciroccos, and corrects the TT's ugliness. We joked about taking the leftovers to build a 3300lb FWD 70hp blob-shape. The result would be the ugliest possible car with a predicted 0-60 time of 42 seconds, lol.

Thank you! I too love the car's design; hopefully I didn't deviate too far while getting everything to fit.

Thank you! I submitted it to PVW and got a nice reply, but then nothing. I think the car is perceived as "just a body swap", heck even I call it "The Audi"...

@@echassin Maybe @Deutscheautoparts will do a build Spotlight with you?

Thank you Sir; I wasn't initially sure it could all come together, so my fallback plan was to sell the drivetrain to recoup some of the initial outlay. Thankfully it didn't come to that.

Thank you Sir!

I'm glad you like the build, thank you! The shell I used was too far gone for a resto, but take good care of that stock mk1 of yours. Judging by recent values, it looks like it could take very good care of you, as in 401k substitute lol.

@@echassin I might be selling it soon if you're interested.

Thank you, glad you like it!

Thank you Sir!

Thank you!

Thank you Sir!

Thank you! 😁

Well, chop chop, get going then!

Большое спасибо

Merci monsieur

I would actually pay u in the next 2-3years to build the basics because this build is soooo amazing

@@Czekothemechanic7872 I'm glad you like the car. It was a Bucket List item so now that it's off my list, I don't see doing another one. You and others can absolutely copy whatever you think is worthy, I know I got plenty of inspiration and help from others.

I totally agree about the sills, but sadly I just couldn't think of a practical way to do them better.

@@echassin I don't think there is either maybe a berg body kit would hide it some? but still a great job tho , respect for doing it and I got a mk2 scirocco and a tt and thought about trying to give it a go but dont think mind and fingers would get on 🤪

Thank you very much! (and check with my estate, lol).

@@echassin LOL! Yup if you sold that thing you would have to be nuts.

Thank you for the compliment! I assume since you have a 1990 Scirocco that you are not in the U.S.? (We only got them up to 1988)

AFAIK a mk2 Golf is a little wider than a mk1 Scirocco, so I'll wager your final result will look more normal. My car has a few strange proportions.

@@echassin Exactly! The Wheel base on the MK2 gti is 97.64 and it's 98.6. So at all four corners it's only off by .24 of an inch.

don't! it's too high. it looks funny. Nice work but not nessa I'm my opinion

oops I was talking about the black mk1 +audi tt

I agree some of the proportions are off, especially the rocker panels. Hopefully someone will build on the concept and do better in the future, but so far I think it's the most normal looking of the AWD mk1 VWs that are complete and running.

I was picturing a metal bolt-through red "Quattro" badge that tucks the padding a bit but I haven't found one [yet]

Got one! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qnaaypzdqogXk.html

Thank you, I was indeed hoping for less than 2500 :-(. I've since trimmed the car down to 2571 but I can't go any further without getting weird.

While the cars are both technically "Sciroccos", the car you mentioned is lightyears ahead of what I'm capable of and as you've noted, he did it years before me.

Thank you Sir!

La ciencia ha establecido inequívocamente que el TT es el automóvil más feo jamás diseñado pero funciona bien, y el Scirocco es el más hermoso pero funciona mal. Fue mucho trabajo, pero les hice un favor a ambos autos.

The car still has all of the Haldex, ABS, and ESP hardware and software. I don't like to think of the car as "just a body swap", but philosophically that really is an accurate description. At 9:42, that was a day I tried hard launches on a wet curve. At first the steering sensor was off by a full turn but after fixing that, the ABS brakes briefly pulse on various wheels along with flashing of the ESP light, but I haven't tried anything like donuts.

I can't tell if you mean that in a good way...

In a good way. That turned out insanely clean. Great job

Sadly, IDK how to improve the look. It's actually lower than a stock Scirocco, but the rocker panels are definitely bulkier than I'd like. I begrudgingly accepted that early in the build to accommodate the hood line and the door sill height. I run 205 wide tires, IMO that's the max without resorting to Berg Cup styling or having too much poke.

Eu tive que procurar, mas sim: existem apenas algumas maneiras de desenhar um hatchback em forma de cunha

You're in luck: I built a mk2's dash and described it pretty well on VWVortex. Basically Masonite using cardboard templates, tacked with thick superglue/hardener, then glued with sawdust soaked with thin superglue/hardener (very strong), then covered with felt and pleather.

@@echassin Oh man thats great thanks!

Love a freaking dash cause I dislike modern. Spread all over, Social Media crap in a car. Use a phone keep a car. A CAR.

I hear ya ;-)

Hmm?

Agreed. None of the interior is mk1/mk2 Scirocco because I didn't have any of it nor would it fit easily. The carpet and seats are from the TT and the dash/center console are masonite/ABS/pleather built to fit
