So long time lurker, 3rd time poster! (I checked, I joined in 2008, this is my third post which is apparently why my pictures won't work!).
Backstory is that I had a 1980 Mars Red Scirocco S from 1980 until 1988 or so.
Stupidly sold it.
So I've been gearing back up to replace it.
I recently purchased a 1981 that has been in storage since 1984 or 1986 (depends on if the seller is accurate or the registration on the car is).
Most of you probably saw the car, was listed on thesamba, then put up for auction on ebay, I purchased it after it didn't sell on ebay.
My plan is to maintain as much originality as I can.
Minor detail, it has no engine. Which is why it was parked so many years ago.
I'm hoping to come up with an original appearing / time period correct engine that may provide a little more power.
So here are the initial pictures.
