i'd say that would increase the stopping power a fair bit, nice work...Comment

Yep! Not VAG calipers (they're off a VP commodore actually) but they bolt on, and i need new pads and the discs just need machiningOriginally posted by guile View Post got hubs with brand new bearings in them to go on as well!
once that's sorted it'll be paint on the inside (another surprise) and get it all back together and wired up for lakeside in octComment

Hmmm, very interesting...
Are you using the stock disc?
Definately looking on as to how well they will work...'90 Mk I Cabriolet 1.8L - My toy... err... Daily driver...- Replaced with ‘93 Mk1 Cabriolet 1.8L <- Soon to be mine...

Yeah I bought them off a mate who was running them no dramas on his 4dr doing hill climbs and drags etc. He found gti fronts so I picked these up.
Stock size but vented not solid! Just need a clean up really. Waiting on pads and then I'll put them on with the new booster I have and report back! I've already got mk3 rear drums so I'm hoping my braking will be sorted then.Comment

I've got a mk3 booster and master cylinder waiting to go on, so that part is sorted...
Yep, mk3 drums would be good.
What were the discs off of then?
Thanks again...'90 Mk I Cabriolet 1.8L - My toy... err... Daily driver...- Replaced with ‘93 Mk1 Cabriolet 1.8L <- Soon to be mine...

The poor black car has been neglected lately because i've been getting my stuff organised with my new 1980 4dr which i pick up this week!

I've been busy with both of my golfs lately!
Daily is going strong as ever with the wheels and suspension pinched from the black car for now! Tail lights are giving me headaches though
And got started on getting the motor out of the black car so I can start paint prep and mocking up the engine bay!
Found the only bad bit of rust in the whole car:
and where she stands now:
