Back then, "heavily-modded" meant dropping in a GTI motor and trans and tweaking it a bit. 100HP in a relatively light car meant decent punch and with springs, shocks and sticky 13" tires, it was A LOT of fun. Unfortunately, the shock towers rusted out and the car ended-up in a junkyard. You never forget your first car though!
(I've owned three Sciroccos over the course of my life).
Regards,
Derek
