I may need the front arches doing, i haven't took it off the axle stands yet to see how it sits lol. It will be lock to lock that i have problems if anything but 1/4 miles in a straight line ha. It owes me loads mate, feel sick thinking about it.

Wow, just took it off the stands and its definitely going to scrape over bumps on the front lol. Also, imagine your sat in the drivers seat looking at the front wheels, they're at 10 to 2 ha. Both facing outwards by a long way due to the mk2 hubs. Might not even make it to the garage i use to track it up at this rate. Got plenty done today though, pleased. Picture updates tomorrow.

A pic of my new rear braided hoses

And just ordered some silicone brake fluid (as recommended by Pete)

and for the steering you could look into using mk2 golf arms on your steering rack just an idea

I'm going to be putting a full mk2 golf steering rack and column in mine to match the mk2 front track width il be running seems easier for me to do this

Okay mate ill let you know ye. Might have to use some different arms yeah, ill cross that bridge when i come to it ha, need to get this bleedin turbo in place first.

Finally got some pictures ha, off to Belgium for the weekend now so no updates until tuesday

Seat welded in

All red rears fitted

New Lexan windows in that actually fit properly

Brake fluids arrived. Just gone to change the master cylinder and the nipple ends are a different size on the gti. Going to get some braided hoses made up for it, it will look pretty under the bonnet as well ha. What part of the master cylinder is it that measures 22mm so i can check that its actually bigger that the one fitted?

toe in on rear wheels y0000 hehe.

Looking good mate, hows the front sit, any pics? :p

Haha, i haven't got any pics at the minute mate no, ill get some either tomorrow or Wednesday. The arches will be sat on the tyres over bumps i think ha.

Right got some pics of the rear set-up, the master cylinders and how the tyres sitting at the minute ha. Can anyone tell me which is the biggest MC or if they are the same just from the pics? Cheers

They will have a number written on them... i can see one says "20" on it. This will be a 20mm m/c. mines a 23.4

I can't believe that i didn't spot that ha. Ill go and check what the other one reads

Scrapped that idea I've bought a cupra MC same as you mate

Scrapped that idea I've bought a cupra MC same as you mate

Best way How much did you get it for? Think mine was £18 or somewhere

I payed £33.50 ha, all because it already has the spacer with it. Saves me a job though

A few new parts for the records,

Another Plastic bucket seat for passenger side

German Passenger side All red rear minus Clear Reverse Bit

Cupra 23.4mm Master Cylinder plus conversion Plate

Mate were did you get the spacer for the stubby from am in need of one asap

Loving the progress mate,

That rear brake flexy looks on a bit of a shit angle though?

It is on a shit angle haha, i must have had 30 6n's in my time and i never realized that they have another flexi in between the rear one that goes to the caliper and the steel brake pipe that runs all the way to the front of the car. I'm going to my local hydraulic company before i add the fluid and I'm going to get quite a few braided hoses made up. It's the steel one in the pic that's the problem, its too long as it used to run a bit further along to the drums, but i thought i may as well get a braided hose made up which not only replaces the steel pipe, but that will incorporate the mystery flexi that I've never noticed before lol. Definitely agree on that one, shit angle all round ha.

You going to spring fest?
