Updated Intro:
Well I've had the Scirocco quite a while now, and it's been through quite a few changes in my hands, so I thought a quick intro/contents may help clear things up for people, as not all of the thread will be interesting to everyone:
Page 1-3 - Daily driven, Porsche wheels + low, slipping back to subtle BBS and moderate lows.
Page 3 - Laid up for a year while I have fun in an MX-5 then Volvo 240.
Page 4-7 - Diesel Engine swap for Student cheepness.
Page 7 - Diesel engine fails catastrophically, laid up for another year awaiting the end of uni.
Page 8 - Engine choice discussion.
Page 9-10 - 1.8 20vt engine transplant.
Page 10+ - Living with/enjoying the 20vt. (Various wheel changes.)
The Original start:

Hey, I've been browsing around this forum for a while now, and I've gotta say, I'm loving everyone's attitude on here compared to some of the usual car forums.
Anyway, thought I'd stick up my scirocco, its not massively retro, and it might be a little too 'scene' but I'm loving it so far.
These are the most recent shots, Although its about 10/15mm lower now:
I think plans for the future are just to sort the body work out, get some 195/45 tyres instead of the stretched 165/50's, some higher quality coilovers, Get the drivers seat repaired (rip in the bolster), and get rid of all the little bumps and rattles coming from the interior trim, then its a case of sitting tight till my insurance drops enough to get a 1.8 20vt in it.
