Buying a Used 1984 VW Scirocco! | How Bad Is It? (Part 1/3)

Instead of just a normal build series, I wanted to give myself a real challenge. I wanted to buy a stock 37 year old VW pick it up, drive it 500 miles, swap the engine in 2.5 days then drive 630miles home. I also have a tight window because I have a family vacation at the end of the week. We purchased a 1984 VW Scirocco for our VR6 swap, but most often VW enthusiasts would engine swap a MK1 or MK2, Jetta or Rabbit. My buddy Charles, who you likely know as the Humble Mechanic agreed to join me in this crazy VR6 swap journey. Join us on this terrible life decision to see if we can actually accomplish it! --------------------------------------------------- Links Talked about in this video Elite Motor Works - Jamie's Shop in Sarasota FL https://www.elitemotorworks.net/ Jamies YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsPwNcZlxDAxtacYv-wpUvg Humble Mechanic Channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/HumbleMechanic Eurofed -the Shop we went to in Atlanta https://eurofedautomotive.com/ ---------------------------------------------------- Shop for VW and Audi Parts Here http://shopdap.com Check out our VW/Audi Shop located in Cornelius NC https://www.daprepair.com/ More info on DAP Reward Credit https://shopdap.com/store/rewardpoints/index/policy/ 0:00 Our Plan for the Next 4 Days 2:50 Picking up the Scirocco 4:30 Checking the Scirocco for Problems 11:15 Driving 600 Miles to Florida 22:04 Pulling the Engine
