 Old AMT Scirocco used as a basis  Engine  Interior...still lacking the backseat though.  Nice and shiny paint!  Found those nice rims in the parts bin.....the tyres however are from a Tamiya Honda CRX to get a low enough profile. |

 Detail painted the grille.....black VW badge like on the Rabbit GTi, just like I want it.  Blacked out taillamps and matte black panel behind them, bit of a 90s tuner look, maybe a quite big oval tailpipe would look best?  The rims does fit like a glove!   Moved the bumpers more flush to the body and shortened the ends for a slimmer look. |

 Most of the time I hate doing engine bays, I usually glue the hood shut.....and just throw in the engine there straight from the box. However, it was fun for some reason on this model! I have detailed a bit more, but I'll show that tomorrow.  A very light white wash toned down the chrome on the headlights. Hardly noticeable but still more realistic. I don't want any fogged headlamps like on a rusty Ford Mondeo, after all....and yes, I'm going to fix the areas that is accidentaly painted black.  Painted the hood too. Don't know why I didn't do it earlier to be honest.... |

I luv the old AMT VW Golfs and Sciroccos! I learned of the races of almost stock ones and I wanted to build a well detailed few. That was before I lost my luv of building. I still enjoy these sites and models like yours help fill my old desire. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the kind words!  Did some more detailing under the hood. There was no brake master cylinder so I took one out of the parts bin. Also, I added battery cables and a vaccuum hose to the brake booster.  Painted the sound insulation under the hood, something I've never thought of before.  A car like this can't have a dorky little peashooter for the exhaust, but it turned out that one of the pipes from a '05 300C could be adapted to fit.  Not bad! |
