Well none did actually!! I've only heard of one in the country (a lefthand drive Golf L) - the rest are later model LS's with leftover German rear panels

Coming along great, Al - are you going to be able to get that cage out to paint the interior, though I'm curious about why you're even installing hydraulic lines etc when it'll all have to come out again?

Love your pedal box especially

[alex g]

i am building up everything as i dont want to stuff around when it comes back from paint, the cage is and will be fully removed and only the front welded in section will stay(obviously). there is a lot of work running cutting and prepping lines and i want to have everything ready for the full rebuild, i basically want to put it back together when it comes back from paint

yer the box it sweet worth all those pounds

She's looking good Alex.

Finish line is still a fair bit away by the look's of it , but it is closer!!!

What did you end up doing with the original pedal's off the pedal box?

[alex g]

yer still a ways to go
i had to chop them as i used the upper section to attach the alloy pedals to, but i think i have a spare set if you are looking for some

this is how they come from the factory officer i promise

Fantastic work Alex, photos are looking awesome, the project is getting closer Do you have a date set for completion at all, possibly the Nats

It amazes me your work damm so good, also the bub looks like she is doing well aswell congrats on a healthy baby mate!

[alex g]
