[QUOTE="Imatk, post: 15795265, member: 75573"] I had one of these in high school although not a "16v" but a regular 8v Scirocco and always wanted to get into another one. Spent a while looking for a good stock version and finally found one, but it needed A LOT of TLC. Figured I'd post the paintwork and other things here. I wound up repairing the dent and painting both bumpers... turned out really nice :) This is what I started with, which was in good shape considering the year (87) [ATTACH=full]1458278[/ATTACH] Sunroof seal needed to be replaced and notice the very oxidized paint work [ATTACH=full]1458281[/ATTACH] Engine bay had likely never been detailed in its entire life. I found what appeared to be a critter's nest behind the black rain tray.... critter was long gone [ATTACH=full]1458282[/ATTACH] This was the worst panel... I think it must have been out in the sun more than any other part of the car or something. Notice the vinyl on the B-Pillar has perished from the sun as well. [ATTACH=full]1458283[/ATTACH] The hood insulation was completely shot... had to be replaced. [ATTACH=full]1458284[/ATTACH] A better look at that back panel... notice no shine whatsoever [ATTACH=full]1458285[/ATTACH] Removed the B-Pillar vinyl that had perished. Notice the paint where the vinyl used to be is the REAL color of red the whole car should be. [ATTACH=full]1458286[/ATTACH] New vinyl installed on pillar... now onto the sunroof seal! [ATTACH=full]1458287[/ATTACH] New seal installed... look at that poor paint though :/ [ATTACH=full]1458288[/ATTACH] Sunroof installed with new seal and the polishing/compounding has begun... notice the dull area where I had taped off the seal. That would be remedied soon! But look at that shine! [ATTACH=full]1458289[/ATTACH] I'll post part two in another thread... not allowed any more pics in this one. [/QUOTE]
