Great to see the car running. Have reallu enjoyed following the journey with this Scirocco.

This was one of the most influential drives of my life

My oil cooler went and I’ve got a coolant system full of oil. Thankfully doesn’t look like much, if any, coolant in the oil. Not fun

You drove with an open hud.

I adore you had soooo much patience in this project. I have a working scirocco, use it daily, although not fancy at all, it takes money, patience, time, and so few times till it would look nice. Any problem, like now where a fuel line for pressures of 6 Bars burst after 40 years of use, it is a huge problem to find a fitting part. It will sit in garage till I find it. You are an inspiration, I must say. Thank you a lot for so many wonderful, problems facing videos.

I love how this started as a project for you and your son, and ended as a project for you and your dad

Congratulations!!! You’ve given that car a new life. Keep at it!

Time for that Cinderella cassette! 🎉

Hey bro! Been watching for some years. Love it. I have an 86 8V as well. Learning lots from you. Thank you! BTW check out your brake booster check valve. That could be why your have no brakes pressure and also why it stalls when you hit the brakes. Good luck bro! Keep up the awesome work! Hope to get mine running soon.

I am just shocked that you didn't slide the Frankenstein It's alive clip in there :) Congrats dude. Awesome work and I will be following your footsteps soon.

Congratulations!

I got giddy and laughed happily when you got her turned over..great moment always! keep it up! And nice Porsche!

Whooooo Whoooo! She’s Alive! Great milestone man. 👏🏻 I’m still figuring my Scirocco out with shakedowns. Sam issues Brakes and Injection system. Keep going you are almost there! Although I will miss the videos when you finally get her running right.

That deserves a cold one and a big fat cigar my friend! Sort the anchors out and the Lady will be singing too 👍🇬🇧 Knew you'd do it. What a superb series on this restoration. You inspired me do much of the same on my own Rocco that I would never have had the balls to do without your step by step videos. Loving the Porsche too, any vids coming on that?

Ahh yes. Good frickin job man. Its about time. Maybe you can look into checking if your brake booster itself has a leak, or if the check valve to your brake booster is faulty. Mainly if your brake booster fails, you will have to press even harder to properly engage the brakes, as you do not have the vacuum assist of the brake booster

I've been watching for 3 years sold my 85 to a buddy his wife totaled it

Congratulations! Can't wait to see it all polished up and back on the road.

Awesome!!

Me tooo.. looking forward to another video, i sure hope you got some Lucy Lawless and fahrvergnügen

I can’t wait either.

I can't wait!!! Fingers crossed 🤞🫣

Hello. Curious how many wires you have going to the starter. I have an 86 8V and recently replaced the starter. I have one wire going to the battery + and one going to the ignition switch. I understand there should be a 3rd wire going to the ignition coil. Do you have that? What terminal on the coil does it go to? Thanks!

Wow. You are wearing my t-shirt. Drive the classic. Nice. Thank you and best regards. Lukas

This was fun to watch, thanks, I miss Lucy Lawless. Lol

Can't you get an A/C condenser from a Scirocco in the junkyard? If not, would you like me to send you a spare A/C condenser? I have experience reinstalling A/C that was previously deleted in my Scirocco 16V. Its decently cold & it uses R134a.

Hi there, almost done ! If I can help for the AC condensor, don't hesitate to advise. Do you have the oem number of the part ? Kind regards. JC

Have loved following the journey of this car! Inspired me to do lots of work on my GTX 👍 Great videos.

You must be an engineer because your approach is methodical and logical. I purposefully delayed watching the last 20 episodes because I didn't want a cliffhanger.I saw episode 34 - Final... and clicked. Doh! You WILL have a good ending.

Speaking from experience with my scirocco, the exhaust, the last end part, if not original, has to be changed at least once a year. Rust free, self made, did the job, stayed there for 20 y.

I love your videos, all of them. Of course it is not any easy job for somebody who is not even a professional mechanic, but you have done it! Congratulations on that matter! You showed all the steps, without cutting parts or keeping important details to yourself. Thank you a lot. Best Scirocco work ever. You covered it all. Better than any action movie, for me, at least. Do not sell it!

I hope this project gets its success, it deserves it. So much dedication and money in this car, you have shown another level of aproach to a solution. This reminds me of how in Austria they come with a genuinely detailed, cunning plan how to kick foreigners out, your plan is at least same detailed.

what, just 16 year old gas? In my '87 16v, which I took out in 2024, it was from mid-1995... Please tell your son to put his shoes on in the garage. Greetings from Germany

Amazing thank you!

I can hardly contain myself!! 👍🇬🇧 "That's what she said..." 🤣

I am so vicariously excited! I can't wait to see you drive it and enjoy it. Thank you for sharing your journey so far. Can't wait for you to finish working on it and show us. Do take your time though, please don't rush.

I have one Scirocco 87 8v , and you are my inspiration, excelente trabajo, saludos desde Costa Rica

Emptying your gas tank before trying to remove it will make it a bit easier.

Use a safety blade with the permatex

W0W there's More videos!? ! I've had my 1984 Scirocco sitting for 26 years. Was Rear Ended, Failed to get insurance companies to make me & my car Whole. It Ran GREAT, could eat off engine, [but don't]. Insurance Co had car for 2 months, would not return, Finally Demanded Return, only to receive it Flooded with Water, & NOT Running. Never could get it running since. Quite bummed. Forgotten much of what i learned, tho, still have Book, Car, and working on Desire; This will sure help, *Cheers!* _sorry for rant_

You can restore the faded bumpers with a heatgun. Instant result.

What is this machine with green liquid ?

Looks great as far as leveling. I have a good dash to go in my car so I may have the old one wrapped in leather when I swap them out.

What paint did you use in the end to spray it?

I think the repair for a 40+ classic is excellent, well done and don't be too hard on yourself about the result.

There is a low point in every car restoration when something is just a real PITA….but well done for carrying on! With hindsight maybe a used dash from Europe might have been the answer for your issue. Your videos still inspire others to crack on so thanks again for sharing your project. Super excited to see it started up and back on the road soon.

Love your channel and your project. Every time you turn that wheel you will smile knowing you did it right. And, I 100% agree about the black end cap on your ignition cylinder. If you compromised your be pissed every time you see it - which is every time you drive. Like a zoom effect in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Can't wait for the episode when you unbox the rebuilt fuel distributor. I'm probably going to send them my distributor and WUR too (Volvo not VW) Press on regardless.

Ive to do litrally everything youve done to mine 😂 its a 1982 gt with the 1.6 injection engine, single windshield wiper and equal size double front headlights. Ive never seen another like it, its gold with from what i can work out on line is a BBS body kit but i could be wrong on that 😂

Your dash was way more cracked than mine. I put a nice thin dash cover on it and haven’t looked back. No way I’d spend the time for that result. (No offense). Driving mine puts me in such a good mood. Just did another 1000 mile round trip to Helen GA. Missed the VW meet up by a week. Oh well. Keep us the super vids. I’ll be adding new F/R swaybars soon. Cheers brother!

Not far to go D, the final push! 👍🇬🇧
