Damn nice work! Couple of questions though...

2 Love the braided brake lines - source? Dollars?

Cant wait to see it in the flesh

Believe it or not recaro came out with aftermarket recaro rails for the MKI...so using that the seats bolted right up to 2003 model Honda TypeR recaros......hahahha I piss myself each time I think about it.
If you've ever sat in typeR recaros you'll know that it feels pretty tight and huggy yet very comfortable.

I'm in the midst of sorting out my shifter and linkages hence the mess : )

Brakes costed $1,000 shipped with taxes, and thats with a 30% sale discount hence I hit it when I saw it.

Just rang the Recaro agent in Melbourne (http://www.idealseat.com.au/base_frame.html)
They list a frame for a MK1 Golf 1978 - 1985. Would this be the same for 76 - 77 chassis?

From what Pete (Go the shameless CVWC plug!) has told me they are all the same. I have Audi 80 seats in my hack...uh....I mean my MK1.
