    Exactly. The Diesel Mk1 was supposed to be equal in power output to the 1.1L petrol Mk1. I have driven lots of them and they go ok. Never use the brakes and change gear lots

    As promised, some pics of Gunters strut tower mods. I also added braces back to the firewall. Added a third bolt to strut brace to stop the top pieces flexing/rocking on the tower.
    It isn't pretty under there but it would be possible to fill and make look factory. Dead easy, and this car has taken a pounding! There are some pics in the members rides of Gunters current look. (not good)

    Where did you get the plugs for the top of the brake mc, to relocate the booster? What are they?

    The rubbers are usually in the master cylinder already and the plastic pipes are out of either beetle or kombi master cylinders, both have them. but from memory they have to be large diameter ones where they go into the master cylinder. By mounting the resevoir in the plenum the fluid keeps cool, and you also have more clearance for the distributor. This car was really a mule to try different things and I know it would be possible to make the towers look stock. I did it on Britchies old Golf. Smoothed and filled. The dents around the lhs one was from the bodyworks after they pushed the front back across 1.5 inches after the Symmons prang. The rhs strut hit the plenum and bonnet in a large pothole in an event years ago.

    Nice jobs der gtimk5, I like the brace, regard 2 cut spring, i wouldn't at all, rather reset 'em if I have to. But that can't beat proper lower spring or coilovas. When cut dat part will be rust, which weaken the spring, n if the spring are progressive= even more pain lol.
