not had anything major to do, just bits and pieces of the engine to tidy up and a new cambelt. Stripped the rear interior out, put a battery cut out on it and changed the points in the distributor (which was a first!) no nice electronic ignition on this.
As far as the brakes go im not completely sure yet but im trying to find out. I do know it has a mk2 gti rear axle with disc brakes and that there is a brake bias in side the car and the servo has been done away with (very heavy brake pedal!!) up front has bigger discs and calipers but not sure what yet.
