Canada Rocc – Part 1

Posted on June 25, 2021 by West Coast Roccos

Last week we scored a 1989 8v Canadian Scirocco. We ran the VIN through Carfax and it looked like it was a well-maintained car. We bought it sight unseen at a decent price. We knew nothing about the car except for the fact that it was straight and looked fairly complete. The owner disclose the fact that it had a bad radiator and needed a battery.

All the photos looked great so we made a offer and send a tow truck to pick it up. This is how it came in. See photos.

The paint was very oxidized. But after buffing a small section, we were pleasantly surprised that the paint looked so good.

It was missing a driver side door card, window switch and the wiring was disconnected. Luckily most of the stuff was easily fixable and the hardest part of this car will be bringing the paint back to life.

Stay tuned for more updates on this project as a progress.

Mk2 Scirocco 16v Antennas, Which are proper?

Posted on April 10, 2021 by WCR

We’ve been asked a few times, “Which antenna is the the proper 16v Antennas for my Mk2 Scirocco?” Well the answer is here. PN: 357 035 503 A / 357035503A. Mk3 and up antennas have a slightly different angle than the Mk2 Sciroccos do. As seen in this photo, the Mk2s are 135Āŗ / 45Āŗ while most all other later VWs are 120Āŗ/ 60Āŗ depending on what side you are measuring.

Make sure you get the correct 16v Antennas for your Mk2. They look a little funny if the wrong one is on the roof.

If you have any questions that need fielded, feel free to email us and we’ll get back to you with an answer.

Scirocco European Bumpers

Posted on March 17, 2021 by WCR

Our Mk1 Scirocco European Bumpers are used units that are reconditioned and refurbished in house. We disassemble the entire bumper, chemically strip the rebar and brackets. After this, we coat with a rust inhibitor agent, then powder coat them the OEM colors. Silver rebar and satin black bracket.

Bumpers being restored – White paint mask to protect from texture.

The ABS plastic bumper covers are repaired if there are any dents, scratches or dings. We plastic weld any cracks or areas that are too deep to sand out. After this, we use our proprietary process to prep, texture and spray them a satin black. Right back to factory colors.

Kit comes with both front and rear plastic Mk1 Scirocco European bumpers. Contact us if you are looking for just a front and rear as sometimes we have an extra in stock.

Part numbers are as followed – Front – 531807821 / 531 807 821 / Rear – 531807824 / 531 807 824

Reproduction Mk1 Scirocco Gauge Panel

Posted on December 26, 2020 by WCR

This week, we made a reproduction Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel that is no longer in production. These were made at WCR North in the Seattle area.Ā If we can not get parts, we want the next best thing, an original copy. With parts like this, attention to detail was critical before making the mold. We repaired some scratches on the aftermarket original Scirocco gauge panel. Then, we textured it exactly like the original part. After that, we casted the mold.

Considerable amount of time, R&D and detailed work is put into parts like this. The time it takes to make or find a minor part like this. Out goal is to replicate the and/or obtain the original look and finish of our builds.

FF Transmission Rebuild

Posted on December 10, 2020 by WCR

We got the Scirocco S close ratio FF transmission back from the rebuilders last week. Here are a few photos. We had our VW transmission guy break it all apart and bring back the case. After that, we blasted it and powder coated it with a OEM cast silver finish. We also retained the OEM end cap and powder coated it the same bright green for a fresh and finished look. There are a few more items that need plated on the transmission, but overall it’s coming along.
