Awesome video. I’m currently halfway or so through getting my 1990 GT2 back on the road. It was a barn find. Had it for almost 7 years now. She’s not seen the road since 2004. I look forward to your next video.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Thanks buddy. Yeah I need to get some more videos done soon. Been too busy lately

[@jimmhb1986]

Great video. Thanks for all you do for us Rocco enthusiasts.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Not a problem mate, I enjoy it. Most of the time

[@fridgemagnet]

just bought some gel gtx badges for my rocco from you guys. keep up the good work.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Cool, tag me in some pics once you’ve fitted them 👍🏻

I'm getting a 1988 Scala 'barn find' for free which should be a fun project. Dry stored in a garage for the past 20 years so hopefully in decent condition (haven't been able to fully inspect yet) - will probably get shot if it starts getting too pricey but can't complain for an upfront of £0. Very helpful video, will definitely be using it when I do my full inspection.

[@heribertmueller9613]

You know scirocco well, obviously. Braking system is in any case not like at modern cars, so caution is required, especially that that little 5th cylinder which is not pissible to find a spare one, when car is loaded to activate rear brakes. So, nice to have it, but one should know about it before he buys one. Nice video,nice narrative. Thanks.

[@ParksandRecYT]

Taking a break from shooting my rear brake video. You've covered a lot - nice job. I'm in a pickle looking for roof rain gutters - nowhere to be found in the US. I'll have to start looking in junkyards unless you have any leads you can share. See you in the next video. Cheers!

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

I’m working on replacements, they won’t be oem copies though. I’ll hopefully have them sorted in next 6 weeks or so

[@ParksandRecYT]

@@dreadnoughtcustoms Replacements would work for me. I just want to get as close to original as I can - I'd be interested if they could make it to the US in one piece. I ordered a reproduction rain tray from a guy in Canada - not exactly the same but does the job. Keep up the good work. I'm at [e-mail] when you have more info. Cheers!

[@WrenchingWench]

Great video, even though I’ve already bought mine it’s given me some things to look at on it! As for video ideas, is there any chance you could do a video on how to remove the body kit? That’s the next big job for mine and it looks a bit daunting haha.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Yep, I can do a video on that, although it probably won’t be for a while until I repaint my gt2

[@spongebob7296]

The black one with the steelies is a beautiful specimen, I have a scirocco you might be interested in.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Thanks buddy. What have you got?

[@spongebob7296]

@@dreadnoughtcustoms Hey I got a 1982 scirocco that I built. It has a 16 valve dash and interior, a 16 valve fender flares and rockers panels all from a donor car as well trunk with the tail and I did an engine swap to a fresh 2.0L crate block and a ported and polished 8Valve cylinder head with larger valves and all that jazz. Supersprint headers Euro lights and euro bumpers. Im about to buy a hardened transmission rebuild kit for the 16 valve 5 speed manual trans because I broke it. 4 corners brakes upgrade from a golf gti and all new control arms and the list is extensively long so ill stop here

Great video mate, really want one as my next project.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

I want a beetle as one of my next projects (guessing you have beetles by ya name) the rocco’s are getting rarer so I’d snap one up soon if you want one.

My Dad had an 82 GTI when I was a kid....doubt it’s still out there now TNU 347X. Black single wiper 1.6 with the 4 same size lights....he nearly got a Storm but as we arrived to look at it someone else had just bought it.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Love my gti. Great little cars. Never owned a storm, the saggy leather interiors put me off

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Checked ya dads Reg number for recent mot’s. Nothing on the system so looks like it’s long gone.

[@roofdownfun]

Hi bud, do you sell any spares at all? I have a 84 GTL and having bother with the sunroof opening on one side, worried about taking it apart due to lack of parts! Love your channel. 👍

Quick question to all Where are all of you in the USA finding replacement parts? I have a 1988 mk2 Rocco

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

There’s plenty of Scirocco Facebook sales pages that will help you track down parts.

[@basilenw2445]

Hi 😄👋 I love your videos you explain litteraly everything ppl need to check before buying. 👍 Just a quick question : Do you have any adress or retailer name for some High Beams ? I have a 1989 GT II and I'm searching everywhere to find one of these Hella high beams but seems like it has disappeared...

[@happyknightinternationalma116]

Great video Tom, covering all of the bases. I have a 91 GT2 and it developed a fuel starvation problem a couple of years ago. After swapping out most of the fuel lines, pump, carb gasket and swirl pot etc; the only thing left was the inlet manifold gasket. That’s what it was in the end. No obvious damage to the gasket, but changing it did the trick. 👍.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

@@happyknightinternationalma116 yeah those gaskets are a pain. At least you know the rest of the system is sorted also.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

@@stephengoben6791 yep replied through there.

[@rally_yellow]

Thanks for a very useful video. In the bit about where to look for rust at 8:14 you say that rust around the rear beam mounts is the worst place for rust, can rust in that area be repaired (albeit with time and expertise) or is it actually not possible to safely sort it if it’s gone too far?

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

Hi, it’s definitely fixeable, repair panels are available as they are the same as mk1 golf, but it’s probably not a cheap repair depending on how much you can do yourself

[@rally_yellow]

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you have a link for the repair panels you’re referring to please? And do you plan to get more fuel filler pipes in stock?

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

@@rally_yellow yes I’ll hopefully be getting more filler necks at some point soon. Here’s a link- www.classic-vw.co.uk/mk1-golf-rear-beam-mount-repair-section-left-side-171801391-15179-p.asp

[@rally_yellow]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@AnonymousCaveman]

I really want one in the future. Is there a particular ball park of price so I know if something is usually low or too much?

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

so many variables tbh mate, but roughly an mot'd car should fetch £1500+ depending on condition. projects anywhere from £300+ depending on condition and model etc.. There's a lot being advertised for what i see as crazy money, best way to get a rough idea is check fleabay and click the sold items button to see what other cars have sold for.

[@AnonymousCaveman]

@@dreadnoughtcustoms I did not see the response to this glad I have now. Thank you thats very useful! 😁

[@jonsvw2000]

Great video! Quick question. The break fluid reservoir has a needle at the top that keeps on popping up. Is that an air pressure issue?

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

That might be part of a level sensor, imagine the needle presses a switch, when the level drops the switch is de-energised. So check you have wiring for the level sensor as the top may have pinged off. Think it just clips on.

[@jonsvw2000]

@@dreadnoughtcustoms okay. It is weird because when I push it down and rev the engine, it goes back up. Thanks.

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

@@jonsvw2000 that might be the vibration allowing the float switch to move up. Tough to see without pics

[@RSmith1]

Hi I'm getting a mk2 scirocco gtx put on the road im looking at changing the suspension, what would you recommend? I've seen Eibach Lowering Springs, Bilstein Gas Shocks not sure if you have used these . I've seen some very cheap coil overs which I will keep out the way of. Could you recommend any thank you

[@dreadnoughtcustoms]

depends on budget and what you want really. bilsteins are meant to be good, ive aways fitted coilovers though. if your going for coilovers save up and get some with damper and height adjustments like bc's or gaz

[@RSmith1]

@@dreadnoughtcustoms thank you for the quick reply I will have a look about online for some . The car will only be used a few times a month as I have a daily driver I don't want to spend to much money yet as it's going to be going in for paint. I will be watching your videos for tips thanks

[@kinglouiesshed8995]

Could you put all the running gear from a mk4 4mo in to one of these ? 😍

You could, and it’s been done on some Mk1 golfs, but it’s a big job.
