Down to the last bolt. A stripped MK2 shell taken back to bare metal, re-sprayed, and rebuilt around a swapped VR6 DOHC. Followed here from empty bay to first fire-up.

THE GARAGE

Built by hand, part by part.

iamgroot.eu is a personal project garage with a single rule: Volkswagen, and nothing else. No brand-hopping, no shortcuts — just two cars given the time they deserve.

The Corrado is the finished statement. The MK2 Golf is the current fight — a full rebuild documented here as it goes from bare shell to running VR6.
