Just need tp paint the hub, spindles and calipers now :D

Absolutley SICK!!!! I will be following this thread to the end. Well done and keep up the great work. Learning a lot, thanks for sharing:)

This Dub is looking amazing! :)

It looks awesome! Was it hard to machine dropped spindles to accept those brakes or it was not an issue? :D

Bright red paint, big @ss brakes. I love it.

thanks again everyone - you're comments have spurred me on to get it done! mx67 bearing adapters were made to run beetle bearings on the spindle. a few mm was taken off the back of the hub, and a small area of the back of the spindle was spotfaced to create a flat face to mount the caliper bracket. then a hole was just drilled and tapped to bolt the bracket on :) it sounds simple but did cause a couple of headaches regarding the best place to put the caliper ad best way to mount it.

got my car back from Pete today and he's done a great job. It's REALLY hard to photograph the black headliner on a bright day against a birght colour so the pictures dont really do it justice!

Looking good. Headliner came out great.

You Suuuurrre you don't want to take those white items off,
Rear-view mirror, visors, rear cabin vents, etc,
And dye them black to match the headliner?

That white, just...

Nevermind me,
I'm here to pick nits!:D

(Pretty easy to tell who's the jealous one here)

do ya think il be running dirty old white interior bits after the extent ive gone on this car ;) they were just put in holes to make sure thehealiner had been cut in the right place. al interior gubbins will be new black to match the rest :)

Dean, for the rear view mirror, what are you fitting? A mk2f Polo one is a nice mod. They are a bit longer in the stalk and same fitting

thanks for the heads up al - il check that out!

Or in fact Mk2 Golf... http://www.eurowagens.com/en/vw/golf...mk2-jetta.html
