    Hello everyone,
    I’ve been away for a while and thought I would give you all a quick update to my crazy world.
    My lastest mad plan is to take the 4×4 off a syncro and fit it onto my Scirocco. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and recently have started planning…ie stripping the scirocco. If anyone knows of one already done then please send info.
    As my Syncro is a minter with only 1 owner before me I intend to find an accident damaged or rusted syncro for parts.
    If my plan works I’ll be very happy and I will of course document the build.
    In the mean time this summer I’m off to Europe for a little road trip in a rather different car, check out http://www.myspace.com/cruzinginthegeneral [8D] for destination information
    I’ll be on the look out for a country to buy and ship back at a later date.

    Unfortunately the Scirocco bodyshell is not really strong enough to cope with the stresses of the 4wd system without a lot of strengthening, it needs at least the Golf 2 front crossmember fitting and thats just for starters, ask Andy(polov8) or Stephen(nutter4x4) they have been there and done it.
