isaidthephil 10 Posted January 1, 2015 Hi All, I joined the forum a while back with the intention of getting a VR6 for a bit of fun whilst I built my Rocco. This never happened and I decided to spend more money on the Rocco. Anyhoo I thought some of you may be interested in seeing what I have done so far seeing as the Raddo is the baby brother of the Rocco. Long story cut short; I owned a Green GT11 which I fitted a 1.8 16v KR in. I also removed all the injection and replaced with Bike carbs. I had big plans for the green one but then a black Scala shell came on the market which seemed too good to miss. I bought the shell in April 2014 along with a load of other bits such as new wheels etc and began to build the new car using all the running gear, engine, and interior from my old rocco. I got the car running but had a couple of electrical faults and then it decided to stop starting and blowing fuses. Over the past two weeks i have finally fixed all the electrical issues meaning i can now start to tart it up and HOPEFULLY get ready for Ultimate Dubs 2015 :) Here are some pics of it through the process and a little vid. Hopefully I can post some better pics in a few weeks when it starts to get tarted up :) My original Rocco; Conversion from fuel injection to bike carbs; Spec; GSXR 750 Carbs re-jetted Custom stainless manifold Facet Red Top fuel pump filter king fuel regulator New Shell arrived; Start the surgery; Routing wiring; One empty old shell; Fitting interior; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BarberG60 10 Posted January 6, 2015 Nice car mate. I could be wrong, but did the black shell come from Kent? Sure it's my friends old one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaidthephil 10 Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments guys :) I originally came from owning and playing with MK1 Golfs so was pleasantly surprised when I found out the MK2 Rocco is pretty much the exact same setup :) @BarberG60 - Indeed I did buy the shell of a cheeky chappy from down south (not sure if it's Kent) called James Cook :) Nice guy.
