1976 VW Scirocco Resto Mod Build
Original appearance car w/ sleeper performance. 
6 year, down to bare metal, then ground up restoration.

Every part as reassembled is new, mint or refurbished.
The challenge with this build was the unavailability of replacement parts.
A build of passion, not for return on investment, as this is a nicer replica of my first car.
Practically a brand new, old car. 
Drives tight, is very quick and handles like a slot car.
