Mk1 Shaved Bay

[finman]

Hi Guys,

so i have a 76 Mk1 Golf and i am in the process of doing it up i want to shave the bay, including removing the brake booster assembly, the heater core, raising the strut towers and cutting a c notch.

firstly regarding the heater core. does anyone know if the car will still pass rego in NSW if i was to remove it all together? or do you have to have it in?
Secondly whilst looking at ways to remove the brake booster assembly i came across the Wilwood brake bias pedal box,

which mounts above the pedal. and i was wondering if anyone else has completed this swap successfully, what its like, is it advisable and will it work better than the booster?

Thirdly i would like to raise the strut towers, leading me to ask that is it at all possible in NSW, being that i get it engineered.
raising the strut towers will then require a c-notch cut out. can that be done?

i am trying to go for this look:



thanks Finman
