Welcome to my homepage that will show my VW Scirocco GTI.
I bought the car in august 2002 and since then it's been constantly upgraded,
The goal is to make it a fun trackday racer and small country road car.

Here's some pictures from the first build season
The car as I bought it, you can tell from the front suspension that the engine is laying in the luggage compartment.
My corner of the garage, messy but under control.
Rust around the filler hole, gotta fix that.
Original flywheel on the left and the lightened one on the right.
Painted engine block
Cleaned cylinder head
All the inner parts of the cylinder head
Cut away the rusted part from the filler hole
Me doing some sanding, *boooring*
Valve grinding in progress, another boring task
Right rear fender masked and primed
Drivers seat worn in the usual places
My girlfriend patched up the drivers seat, thanks honey!
Mounting the pistons with new pistonrings.
Bottom part of the engine done assembled
Filler hole area patched up and painted
New injector holders
Newly slotted front rotors... Car porn! Thanks for the help Jani!
The cars first glimpse of daylight this year, the paint wasn't a 100% match but it'll do.
Engine coming together
Engine and gearbox bolted together
Overhead lifting device is nice to have
Intake manifold, oil filter head and alot of hoses and wires getting into place.
This is the first time since I bought the car that the engine is in the right place
Time to se if it starts! (it didn't)
