    Ok so like here are some very late quick pics.

    It's looking more like a car again.

    There still all the wiring to do and bits and pieces I still need to resolve but I should be finished in nov-dec fingers crossed.........hehhehe.










    If anything looks incomplete, thats because it is.........hahahha

    Enjoy.

            Damn nice work! Couple of questions though...
            1 What did you do to mount your Recaro seats? Any pics??
            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?

                          Nice looking frame. I`m currently making something similar at a fraction of the cost for the scirocco. I`ll show you all a pic soon.

                          Good to see some knowledge sharing guys. Nice link Charles.

                            $300 is steep!! but my understanding is that there would be no ADR issues and thus no need for an engineer's inspection.
