Nice goin' Derek I'd say that's a Bingo! The car has the small rear spoiler but two front wipers which is exactly what I'd expect for an early '84 1.7L. The VIN indicates a 1.7L (according to Bill) since the 5th digit is an "A" as well as an '84 model year since the 10th digit is an "E". The seller says it has a 1.8L, but the engine code he gives is "GX" which is for an '85 to '86 base model Golf (never originally installed in a Scirocco), so it's obviously had an engine swap. As far as I'm concerned, this case is closed! Let's go racin'!!
