1978 Volkswagen Scirocco GL by Jay McToldridge

Jay McToldridge's 1978 Volkswagen Scirocco GL stands out as a unique showcase of VW enthusiasm. Known for his influence in the VW scene, Jay has meticulously refined this classic coupe over nearly three decades, focusing on both performance and aesthetics. The Scirocco, initially equipped with a G60 supercharged engine, now houses a modified Mk2 GTI 1.9 PB engine with notable upgrades like JE pistons and a KWL 'VW Motorsport' head, achieving 216 horsepower under a conservative tune. The car's striking Porsche Laguna Blue paint accentuates its classic lines, paired with magnesium Ronal Racing wheels and a carbon fiber duckbill for an aggressive look. Inside, the vehicle features Cobra Nogaro seats with custom trims, suede dashboard, carbon fiber details, and a Eurospeed VW Motorsport 6-speed gearbox. The KW V3 coilover suspension and Corrado VR6 brakes ensure impressive handling and stopping power. Jay's Scirocco remains lightweight with Lexan windows and a minimalist interior, embodying the perfect blend of classic style and modern performance.
