. ... thanks mate, I'm a full time student at the moment but I work at a marina part time, the project has been done as well with the help of my cousin who is also a member on here (passat1.8t) who is a VW mechanic by trade...have to take some photos off the recent progress as well

[Jarred]

is it done yet, is it done yet???

[dubmc]

ahah so close mate, just need to fab up the seat rails and get the seats sorted but besides that i should (fingers crossed) be ready for SEDF!

one other issue which is a bit of a bi*ch is the left carb stack keeps coming off under acceleration because it is hitting on the brake booster bracket on the drivers side need the strut tower...need to try adjust the engine or perhaps look at some stiffer mounts

will take pics tomorrow

[Jarred]

If you're running standard mounts atm, maybe look at getting the poly inserts, rather than forking out for full poly set up. (which would probs be pretty rough with a cam and twin carbs I would imagine)

[dubmc]

finally some photos of the brawler ahah

Going to give the paint a full buff, polish and wax?
Good to see it all together, it's probably more 'together' than most MK1's going around.

Get my PM?

[Water Boy]

With a good polish that will come up awsome!
