        Turns out mk3 drive shafts are to long for a mk1

        This left us in a spot of trouble but we got the mk3 inner cv's onto the mk1 shafts and they fit up fine into the mk3 hub. Had to cut a bit of extra length into the spline area to get the cir-clip other than that the spline is identical. Was worried for a while we would have to ditch the mk3 setup and it would have set us back in a big way but all good.

        Radiator and hoses in tomorrow along with some oil and hopefully we can look at turning it over.

        Will try and get some photos of progress tomorrow, I keep forgetting to take them.

                Master cylinder did us in yesterday morning, after replacing a bit of brake line we bled everything up Friday night but arrived to a soft pedal yesterday. Got some help trying to fix the one we had but no good, assumed the part we had was ok but it wasn't.

                Bound to be an event on in a couple of months we will aim to make and will have more time to get things 100%
