Petes 16V Sport Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 notice how tidy the bodywork is!Looks really nice mate, is it yours? What are the plans for it, or is it just a weekend car?If you do take it out i'm sure I don't need to say this but be careful of the deer! It would be a shame to ruin such a nice car, and I doubt it would stand up as well as your arosa did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 It's an early mk2, looks in good condition from those pics. Has it been stood on hard ground or in a field? Any engine bay shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 pop the bonnet and look for a servo. just remember, the brakes will be crap regardless. Upgrade to some mk2 16V ones at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciroccotune Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 as i mentioned i was having bonnet issuesso close to jimmying it with a barand then i thought, we'll do it differently so i took to the interior insteadpulled all the seats out and set to steam cleaning everything and i mean everythingall mk 2 sciroccos have servos. The main cause of brake sloppyness is the peddle linkage to the servo/MC.Good upgrade is the one from a citi golf as its stronger. I have 256mm discs and vauxhall calipers on the front of mine and will be using 9" servo and 22mm MC when i get round to it but i have had a number of roccos that were fine with standard equipment and fresh discs and pads.Anyway what ever you do dont split a good one like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Shame. Not that I particularly like (or dislike) Rocco's. Just not nice to see another car bite the dust due to rust! So it's been sitting outside then? My Beetle went the same way, although that was rusted to buggery to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 shes getting rougher everytime i look at it, trying to find space back indoors but it seems pointless as the rots already set in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unheard Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Waxoyl the fek out of it, its good stuff my old mini is not rusting much just sat on the drive doing nothing. I got very good rust fighting, late 80s minis have to be the quickest rusting cars ever. Pond lining repair tape is also really useful at sealing the gutters and panel joins when a car is sat doing nothing Just remember to remove the waxoyl before you weld, its not like i was stupid enough to set my car alight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 update... nothing exciting because i broke my cameraand this is technically old news but i forgot to whack it uptook unheards advice rubbed down the surface rust and waxoyld the lot underneath and it seems to be doing the trick. the pond tape was a good shout toohopefully i'll get it MOT able soon but as a student its hard to find the time and the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
