Aussie MK1 with twins

I'll go back to the wreckers in the next few weeks and take lots of photos to help anyone looking for parts they can't get in England.

In the mean time I was looking at getting some big brakes for the MK1. 280's for the front (I'm running MK1 GTI disks) and some disks for the back to replace the MK3 drums on my car.

Even hidden behind 16" wheels these are big.



Rear disks



Trouble is they are still on this Seat which was used as an occasional track day car.



The dash would look good in the MK1.



This is why it hasn't been driven for a year, engine overheated because of a faulty temp gauge. It still has the ABF, just in pieces.



Long story short instead of getting just the parts I wanted I'm now the owner of a lot of parts that I want to fit. Plus some bits I don't need.

My wife is going to kill me.

Cheers

Pm'd mate
Will be in oz at the end of the year. 

I haven't done much to the MK1 but that will change soon.



I no longer need to do any work on my MK2 GTI. At least I have a donor car that I know the history of.



Totally my own fault. Misjudged the end of a merging lane and ran up the back of a slow moving truck. It was either that or a head-on with a car coming the other way.

Cheers

Ouch...
