Shocky Jr. – The best little trooper of a Mk 1! Now with a new front end, a 20VT, and lots of performance upgrades. Mk 1 Sciroccos are the best cars ever!
AWP / 02J SWAP AND PERFORMANCE UPGRADES DONE
... well...since I need to take the dash out
anyway...I might as well...oh!...and I have been meaning to redo the stock
wiring...and if I am going to waterproof Shocky, I should probably coat the rest of the floorpan
and firewall with the rust encapsulator.... but I
don't want to miss any spots....I had better take out the rest of the interior
stuff like the heater fan blower unit.... and if I am gonna
finish the front I better do the rear area too..... I really should take out
the back seat....and I really need all this wiring out of the way to get to the
interior firewall.... guess I had better take all the fuse panel wiring out
along with the fuse panel...and I really want to seal the floorpan/firewall/interior.....I’d
better get this carpet adhesive off....hmm...it isn’t coming off...gosh, I’d
better use the wire wheel instead....oh...hmmm...gosh, there goes some paint in
addition to the adhesive....and so now I start looking around and what do I
see? RUST so um.... I kinda started to wire wheel
away the rust spots but I haven't finished the carpet adhesive yet and now I am
gonna have to do something about feathering the edges
of the painted hatch area so I can do some primer and then finally paint...so
yeah....and I WILL NOT...WILL NOT be doing the hatch!!! (yet) (I hope) (I
really hope) < bad,
bad Kirsten >

9/15/11
Added
the October
swap page – no narration really, just pics. Decided that 7 years was long enough to wait
and it was ultimately going to be pics only or
nothing going up.
7/5/10
Updated various
pages, continued working on overall revamping, and added pages for Shocky’s specs, BOV
install and Headliner
Creation.

Still
working on it…..Revamping whole website as well……
Updates coming

Finally got another one of Shocky’s swap pages
done. August
non engine swap related progress is now online…..you might be wondering
what happened to the July pages…they um….are still a work in progress…..so many
things going on right now that are taking up my time…..<sigh> and, I am STILL working on the project from hell!

Added pics from Waterwagens 2005.
7/11/05
Well, what started as an innocent
intent to merely put a few grommets in my firewall kinda
exploded into a multitude of projects....Shocky is
very naked right now and all of my time is going to getting this project from
hell finished.

Just got back from DubWars 2005......

hours of sleep before work….<sigh>

overview of my Scirocco Brochures.

Final update to Turn Signal Info page…actually, more like a new page all
together.

who had his ’87 2.0L 16VT stolen and gutted.
The hope is to find some of the parts and put the bastards who did this
in jail. You can find the relevant info

do until I get the rest of my swap pages done.

that is done for the entire swap. Many hours of work went into this page…..and
the wiring itself for that matter….
7/4/04
Added two completely non-tech
pages to Shocky Jr.’s Restoration and Upgrade
Adventure Chronicles. First one is
just a bit of fun and some pics from meeting one of
the local (MD) Scirocco list members: A Visit From Matt. Second
page has pictures I took on the trip home from my June visit to MD. Although not Scirocco
related, these pics are pretty damn cool!
7/1/04
This isn’t really an update…just
an update on why there are no content updates to my website as of
late….Unfortunately, due to personal problems there will be delays in website
updates for a while…but hopefully that will come to pass. Soon. I have a whole ton of stuff to put up, it is just a matter of getting it edited/photoshopped etc. and then uploading it. Don’t give up on this site though!!! I am not about to let it fall into the Vortex
of un-updated sites left and forgotten…..

that may be of interest to some…In Particular: 02J, 02J Tranny Build, and Shocky's AWP
