My first car!
 
4 Attachment(s)
Well, I recently turned 16 and my father always wanted to buy me my first car so when one of our neighbors was selling his 1987 Scirocco we couldn't resist.
So the car is in great condition, there were only two previous owners who are long time family friends that are big time car collectors so it was taken care of and the car has its miles, about 196 thousand of em, but it runs and drives like its brand new. It sat in storage for 6 years straight and then it was put back on the road for the summer and put away during the winter. Then i came along and picked it up.

The bad:
-From what i was told the car has some kind of oil seal leak that i'm currently working on fixing.
-It needs a new drivers seat.

The good:
-It has coil-over suspension all the way around and it seems to be of high quality.
-It came with a set of 15" bbs rs 2 piece rims and 17" voxx racing rims.
-I was told by the previous owner it has a full stainless steel exhaust from a Volkswagen performance or specialty company and its believable because the car sounds wonderful.
-Its the 16v and it runs like a champ!

Thats pretty much it. heres some pictures i took with my phone. i will have better ones up soon.

Pre-Clean. Caked in dust.
